1 SECOND GROWTH AS HABITAT TO NOCTURNAL BIRDS: COMPARING OCCURRENCE BETWEEN PRIMARY FOREST AND DISTURBED ENVIRONMENTS" Mônica Sberze Ribas Gonçalo Ferraz Mario Cohn-Haft

2 Future second growth sites? Amazon deforestation Fearnside, unp. data

3 Impacts of deforestation on forest species www.seppo.net

4 Increase in second growth area Wright e Muller Landau 2006

5 Objective Compare the occupancy of primary forest and second growth sites by nocturnal birds.

6 Focal species Cohn-Haft et al. 1997 Nyctibiidae Nyctibius griseus Nyctibius leucopterus Strigidae Glaucidium harhyi Lophostrix cristata Caprimulgidae Nyctidromus albicollis Caprimulgus nigrescens

7 Study area

8 Sampling points

9 Analysis that incorporate reality of the sampling process Estimate occupancy (Ψ) accounting for imperfect detection (p) Likelihood approach: What is the probability of obtaining a line of data given a model? 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Co-variables – logit (Ψ) = β0 + β1cap Mackenzie et al. 2002, Hines 2004

10 Co-variables incorporated to the models Null ModelAlternative models Ψ(.)p(.) Ψ(SG)p(.) Ψ(SG)p(dry season) Ψ(SG)p(moon height) Ψ(SG)p(dry season + moon height) Ψ(.)p(dry season) Ψ(.)p(moon height) Ψ(.)p(dry season + moon height)

11 Influence of second growth in occupancy

12 Caprimulgidae and Strigidae pairs

13 Nyctibiidae pair – comparison between primary forest and second growth

14 Nyctibiidae pair – second growth modeling occurrence

15 Is second growth suitable for forest species? Expected (G. hardyi, M. watsonii, N. griseus, N. leucopterus, N. albicollis) Surprises (L. cristata, P. perspicillata, C. nigrescens e N. bracteatus) What exactly are they doing there?
