ABSTRACT: Along a distance gradient from a given river, two types of habitat can be recognized: natural river edge and forest interior, each one with its own vegetation characteristics and dynamics. In a continuous area of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, we investigated (1) if bird communities are different between a riverbank of a small stream and an inland forest habitat; (2) if the species of the river edge habitat are the ones that persist in the most in forest fragments after deforestation of a continuous forest; (3) if the river edge habitat species are those that are less sensitive to forest fragmentation. It is expected that there are differences in the bird communities and the occupancy of some species between the two habitats. We allocated 16 sampling points in each of the habitats and sampled the birds by point counts with a short radius of 30 m. Results suggest that there is a significant difference between the composition of the bird communities of the river edge and forest interior habitats, although the species richness is similar. Six species were more likely to occupy the river edge and 14 species had a greater probability of occupancy in the forest interior. Species associated with the river edge habitat (15 species) tend not to be sensitive to forest fragmentation (12 species). In this study, we demonstrated that river-border species of continuous forest areas form a significant part of the bird communities that persist in small forest fragments, with intense edge effect. This shows that not all forest edge species are the result of the colonization from open areas. Congruently, species that occupy the most distant areas from the river vegetation in a continuous forest are those more sensitive to forest fragmentation. KEY-WORDS: Atlantic Rainforest, bird sensitivity, forest interior, natural edge, probability of occupancy. INTRODUCTION tree species; also, it is common to have the fall of trees and consequently the creation of clearings that allow the The Brazilian Atlantic Forest Biome, a tropical forest strip occupation of bamboo species (Bianchini et al. 2001, that stretches along 3300 km of the Brazilian coast beside Anjos et al. 2007). inland areas in Argentina and Paraguay, has thousands This lowland riparian environment constitutes a of endemic species (more than 650 species of vertebrates transition between the river and the associated upland and 8000 species of plants) and is considered one of forest, marking a natural border or ecotone boundary. A the key biodiversity hotspots in the world (Tabarelli et forest ecotone is a consequence of the meeting of distinct al. 2010, Mittermeier et al. 2011). The seasonal-semi- natural plant communities, which, in turn, influences the deciduous forest (SF), a type of forest in the Atlantic diversity of wild animals across the landscape, dependent Forest Biome, extends through the center-south of the on distance from a rivers' edge and the characteristic country interior, between 200 and 800 m of altitude and transition in topography, plant community, hydrological could be considered an ecoregion; there, approximately regimes, and soil types (Naiman et al. 1993, Shirley 2005). 220 tree species occur, 10% of which are endemic to this Considering several taxonomic groups, some studies forest type (Morellato & Haddad 2000, Oliveira-Filho & suggest greater species richness in riparian environments Fontes 2000, Scheer & Blum 2011, Anjos et al. 2018). compared to distinct forest (Naiman et al. 1993), others Locally in SF, many rivers, large and small, and streams found greater richness in non-riparian environments flow from upland areas to the lowland areas, as is common (McGaragal & McComb 1992, Peres 1997) and some along the Atlantic Forest. A distinct riparian environment found no difference between these two habitat types with a unique vegetative formation characterizes those (Gomez & Anthony 1998, Rykken et al. 2007). lowland river edges, which is the focus of the present On birds, several studies indicated the great study. This low land river edges forests usually has a importance of the riparian environment (natural river much less dense canopy with few emerging trees while edges) as a uniquely sustaining habitat with relatively more the under and midstory have a higher density of smaller species than associated upland forest areas (Woinarski Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia 27(3): 2019 River's edge birds are less sensitive to forest fragmentation Lindsey et al. et al. 2000, Kajtoch et al. 2007, Dominguez-López & determined for the bird species of SF (see Anjos 2006, Anjos et al. 2011). The hypothesis is that the natural river Ortega-Álvarez 2014, Rannestad et al. 2015, Berduc et edge habitat species are the ones that persist in most of al. 2015, Sekercioglu et al. 2015, Gomez et al. 2016). In a tropical rainforest in Hong Kong, a higher number forest fragments in relation to the forest interior, after of individuals and bird species were recorded in the the deforestation of a continuous forest, that is, those riparian environment, when compared to an area 100– species are less sensitive to forest fragmentation. The reason for this hypothesis is that the vegetation of river 250 m distant from the river due to the high availability edges presents low trees and bushy entanglement in the of adult aquatic insects, which confirms the response of birds to river proximity (Chan et al. 2008). In a 656 lower stratum, phyto-physiognomy that resembles edges ha fragment of the Atlantic Forest in northern Paraná of forest fragments. state, with little topographic variation (~150 m altitude), Anjos et al. (2007) showed that 43% of all bird species METHODS were associated with riparian forest due to differences in vegetation; they sampled 81 species and found that 19 and 45 species were unique to the non-riparian and Study area riparian habitat, respectively. Another study conducted in The study was developed in the Iguaçu National the same site showed that the difference between the bird Park (INP), in the municipality of Céu Azul, Paraná communities is mainly due to the presence of bamboo in o o the riparian forest (Chusquea sp., Willrich et al. 2016). (25 09'12''S; 53 50'42''W, Fig. 1). INP was created in Therefore, riparian bir d species may comprise a significant 1939 and its total area is 185,262.2 ha; it is a fully protected proportion of the overall local forest bird richness and Conservation Unit whose predominant vegetation is SF (ICMBio 2014). In reality, INP is home to the country›s with particular traits associated to that vegetation closer largest continuous SF area. The INP climate, according to rivers. Riparian forest could be in some extension to the classification of Köppen, is of type Cfa subtropical comparable to edges of forest fragments, since both are humid or mesothermic with hot summer, with average ecotones. We argue that edge birds of riparian forest temperatures between 15 and 25 C and rainfall above 900 mm, also distributed throughout the year (Melo et should be more adapted to the edge of forest fragments, al. 2006). while birds inhabiting the interior of the forest avoid those created habitats after deforestation (Gimenes & Anjos SF is related, in virtually the whole area of occurrence, 2003, Hansbauer et al. 2008). In this study, we tested if to a climate of two well defined seasons - one rainy and it is possible that birds that originally live in the riparian one dry (Veloso et al. 1991). The vegetation is dense and presents a great variety of vegetal species, constituted by environment in the continuous forest could be more arboreal elements (perennial or deciduous), as well as tolerant to edges that appear after forest fragmentation. To do this, the first objective of this study was to verify shrub, lianas and epiphytes. Among tree species that are if bird communities are different between a natural river associated with SF are: Assai Palm (Euterpe edulis Mart.), edge habitat and a forest interior. For this, we investigated Peroba (Aspidosperma polyneuron Müll.Arg.), Brazilian Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora Ducke), Alecrin (Holocalyx the richness and composition of the bird communities. balansae Micheli), Angico-cedro (Parapiptadenia rigida The hypothesis is that the richness and composition of the bird communities of the two habitats are different (Benth.)

The second o bjective of this study was to compare the We sampled two habitats and denominated them as occupancy of the bird species between the two habitats. “River Edge” and “Forest Interior”. The “River E dge” o o In this case, we evaluated the occupancy probability of the (RE; 25 09'43''S; 53 49'39''W) is located on the border of a tributary of the Azul River, and the “Forest Interior” bird species according to the different habitat types. The o o (FI; 25 09'28''S; 53 50'09''W) is located at 300 m of RE, occupancy of some bird species is expected to be different between the two types of habitat, due to differences in at higher altitude (565 m a.s.l.) and at 470 m of forest vegetation. The thir d objective of this study was to verify edge (Fig. 2 in Appendix I). The tributary of the Azul if the river natural edge habitat species are less sensitive to River is a small one, with 8 to 15 m width in the section studied. In each habitat, 16 points were established (Fig. forest fragmentation. In order to do this, we investigated 1). The shortest distance between RE and FI sampling the association between the number of bird species closely related with the river natural edge habitat and their points was 80 m. sensitivity to forest fragmentation, which was previously In RE, points were allocated in four tracks (REA, Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia 27(3): 2019 River's edge birds are less sensitive to forest fragmentation Lindsey et al.

Bird sampling We used the point count method with radius of 30 m (Bibby et al. 1993) in bird sampling. This method is very effective in studies of avian habitat relationships (Anjos et al. 2010). Sampling was carried out during the breeding season of January and February of 2013, in which birds are more likely to be detected by the observer through their vocalizations. Each set of four points in both habitats was Figure 2.

These sample units were named REA, REB, REC REC, RED, FIA, FIB, FIC, and FID) occurring in two habitats and RED in RE and FIA, FIB, FIC and FID in FI. On (“River Edge” and “Forest Interior”) at INP. each day the points of each sample unit were sampled consecutively 1, 2, 3 and 4, and then again reversing REB, REC and RED), perpendicular to the river. The the sequence, 4, 3, 2 and 1. For example, on track A trails in this habitat were at least 300 m apart (Fig. 2 In in RE, on one day the sampling sequence of the points Appendix I).

We is the probability of the species being present in one place, sampled each point for 10 min with a 10 min interval and the probability of detection (p). between points. According to Anjos et al. (2010), if the Single season occupancy modeling requires multiple observer is interested in assessing differences between visits to sampling units during a season in which species numbers of bird species at different locations, the time can be detected. This model assumes that during these of 10 min is sufficient and in SF, 96% of the species are visits no individual enters or leaves the population (closed recorded during this time interval. model). At each visit the observer detects the presence (“1”) or absence (“0”) of the species of interest. The Statistical analysis absence may be a real absence of the species or a failure to detect the species. This type of modeling adjusts the We estimated the total richness of the bird species using variation in probability of detection while estimating the the non-parametric Chao species estimator (Herzog probability of occupancy of bird species. By incorporating et al. 2002). We evaluated the influence of space the probability of detection into the models, the imperfect (spatial autocorrelation) on the composition of bird detection is considered and the bias in the parameter species through the Mantel test (1000 permutations). estimation is reduced (MacKenzie et al. 2006). The geographic distance matrix was obtained by the Since each point was sampled four times, in each Euclidean distance on the geographical coordinates of sampling we recorded if each species of bird was detected the sample units. We obtained the similarity matrix of or not. Thus, the detection history for each bird species the species composition using the distance of Bray Curtis in each area was obtained. The detection history was on the abundance of the species in each sample unit. We then used to estimate the probability of occupancy of the performed the analysis in R software (R Development species. Core Team 2015), using the package “vegan” (Legendre For this model, the estimated parameters (occupancy & Legendre 1998, Oksanen et al. 2016). and detectability) may be a function of covariates. The We estimated the relative abundance for a single PRESENCE software (Hines 2006) recognizes two species in a habitat (RE or FI), called the Index of Point types of covariates, (1) site-specific covariates, which are Abundance (IPA), by dividing its contact number by constant for the site within the same season, e.g., habitat the total number of points sampled in each site (Bibby type, fragment size, or generalized weather patterns, et al. 1993). To avoid double counting for the same such as drought or El Niño; and (2) sampling-occasion individuals' precautions were taken particularly for those covariates, which may vary at each sampling, such as highly mobile species by adopting a field form that is temperature, precipitation, time of day or observer divided into different quadrants as suggested by Vielliard (Hines 2006). In order to verify the probability of & Silva (1990). Thus, a number of contacts of 30 for occupation of the bird species in each of the habitats, a given species resulted in an IPA equal to 0.468 (30 in the present study the first type of covariant was used. contacts divided by 64 points sampled). Thus, we tested w hether the probability of occupancy of To verify differences in bir d species composition each species of bird occurred as a function of habitat. We between the two habitats we used a permutational analysis ran occupancy models which assumed that the occupancy of variance (PERMANOVA) (Anderson 2001).

Anjos (2006) determined Considering the set of species analyzed, 15 bird the sensitivity of the birds to forest fragmentation in SF species were more associated to RE habitat, of which based on samplings carried out in 14 forest fragments three are sensitive and 12 are not sensitive to forest of different sizes and degrees of isolation. Species were fragmentation. Twenty-three bird species were more considered sensitive if they occurred only in control associated to FI habitat, of which 14 are sensitive and 9 fragments or in large, non-isolated fragments; species are not sensitive to forest fragmentation (Appendix IV). not sensitive to forest fragmentation were those that Thus, the data suggest that species of birds susceptible to occurred in all fragments, including the smallest and habitat fragmentation were those associated with the FI most isolated ones (Anjos 2006). In the present study we habitat while those that are not sensitive to fragmentation used two criteria to determine if a given species of bird were those associated with RE habitat ( = 6.13; P = was associated with one of the habitats, RE or FI: 1) the 0.013). species should be exclusive to one habitat and with at least three contacts during the total sampling period; or 2) the species should have a higher probability of occupancy in DISCUSSION one of the habitats.

In the study by Anjos (2006) on the sensitivity of birds to forest We recorded a total of 80 species of birds in both fragmentation, species that present tolerance to edges habitats, similar to the estimated richness (Chao , 84 ± showed low sensitivity to fragmentation. The results 4 species). We detected no autocorrelation between the of the present study indicate that of the total species geographical distances of the sample units and the species associated to the RE habitat, only 20% are sensitive to composition (Mantel r = 0.063, P = 0.320). We recorded forest fragmentation, while 61% of the species associated 65 bird species in RE and 68 in FI. The number of species to the FI habitat are sensitive to forest fragmentation estimated by Chao for RE was 70 ± 4 species and the (Appendix IV). estimated number for FI was 79 ± 6 species. Therefore, A large number of physical and biological processes we found no difference between the estimated richness of occur from the edge of a fragment because of the influence the two habitats.

In Neotropical forests, birds that live species of a continuous area of forest form a significant on riverbanks in a continuous forest and occupy the edge part of the bird communities that persist in small forest of the remaining habitat after fragmentation and birds fragments, with intense edge effect. This shows that not from open areas should select similar abiotic conditions all the forest edge species are the result of colonization such as air temperature, spatial variation of solar from open habitats. As expected, species that occupy the radiation, humidity and wind speed.

ABSTRACT: Along a distance gradient from a given river, two types of habitat can be recognized: natural river edge and forest interior, each one with its own vegetation characteristics and dynamics. In a continuous area of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, we investigated (1) if bird communities are different between a riverbank of a small stream and an inland forest habitat; (2) if the species of the river edge habitat are the ones that persist in the most in forest fragments after deforestation of a continuous forest; (3) if the river edge habitat species are those that are less sensitive to forest fragmentation. It is expected that there are differences in the bird communities and the occupancy of some species between the two habitats. We allocated 16 sampling points in each of the habitats and sampled the birds by point counts with a short radius of 30 m. Results suggest that there is a significant difference between the composition of the bird communities of the river edge and forest interior habitats, although the species richness is similar. Six species were more likely to occupy the river edge and 14 species had a greater probability of occupancy in the forest interior. Species associated with the river edge habitat (15 species) tend not to be sensitive to forest fragmentation (12 species). In this study, we demonstrated that river-border species of continuous forest areas form a significant part of the bird communities that persist in small forest fragments, with intense edge effect. This shows that not all forest edge species are the result of the colonization from open areas. Congruently, species that occupy the most distant areas from the river vegetation in a continuous forest are those more sensitive to forest fragmentation. KEY-WORDS: Atlantic Rainforest, bird sensitivity, forest interior, natural edge, probability of occupancy. INTRODUCTION tree species; also, it is common to have the fall of trees and consequently the creation of clearings that allow the The Brazilian Atlantic Forest Biome, a tropical forest strip occupation of bamboo species (Bianchini et al. 2001, that stretches along 3300 km of the Brazilian coast beside Anjos et al. 2007). inland areas in Argentina and Paraguay, has thousands This lowland riparian environment constitutes a of endemic species (more than 650 species of vertebrates transition between the river and the associated upland and 8000 species of plants) and is considered one of forest, marking a natural border or ecotone boundary. A the key biodiversity hotspots in the world (Tabarelli et forest ecotone is a consequence of the meeting of distinct al. 2010, Mittermeier et al. 2011). The seasonal-semi- natural plant communities, which, in turn, influences the deciduous forest (SF), a type of forest in the Atlantic diversity of wild animals across the landscape, dependent Forest Biome, extends through the center-south of the on distance from a rivers' edge and the characteristic country interior, between 200 and 800 m of altitude and transition in topography, plant community, hydrological could be considered an ecoregion; there, approximately regimes, and soil types (Naiman et al. 1993, Shirley 2005). 220 tree species occur, 10% of which are endemic to this Considering several taxonomic groups, some studies forest type (Morellato & Haddad 2000, Oliveira-Filho & suggest greater species richness in riparian environments Fontes 2000, Scheer & Blum 2011, Anjos et al. 2018). compared to distinct forest (Naiman et al. 1993), others Locally in SF, many rivers, large and small, and streams found greater richness in non-riparian environments flow from upland areas to the lowland areas, as is common (McGaragal & McComb 1992, Peres 1997) and some along the Atlantic Forest. A distinct riparian environment found no difference between these two habitat types with a unique vegetative formation characterizes those (Gomez & Anthony 1998, Rykken et al. 2007). lowland river edges, which is the focus of the present On birds, several studies indicated the great study. This low land river edges forests usually has a importance of the riparian environment (natural river much less dense canopy with few emerging trees while edges) as a uniquely sustaining habitat with relatively more the under and midstory have a higher density of smaller species than associated upland forest areas (Woinarski Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia 27(3): 2019 River's edge birds are less sensitive to forest fragmentation Lindsey et al. et al. 2000, Kajtoch et al. 2007, Dominguez-López & determined for the bird species of SF (see Anjos 2006, Anjos et al. 2011). The hypothesis is that the natural river Ortega-Álvarez 2014, Rannestad et al. 2015, Berduc et edge habitat species are the ones that persist in most of al. 2015, Sekercioglu et al. 2015, Gomez et al. 2016). In a tropical rainforest in Hong Kong, a higher number forest fragments in relation to the forest interior, after of individuals and bird species were recorded in the the deforestation of a continuous forest, that is, those riparian environment, when compared to an area 100– species are less sensitive to forest fragmentation. The reason for this hypothesis is that the vegetation of river 250 m distant from the river due to the high availability edges presents low trees and bushy entanglement in the of adult aquatic insects, which confirms the response of birds to river proximity (Chan et al. 2008). In a 656 lower stratum, phyto-physiognomy that resembles edges ha fragment of the Atlantic Forest in northern Paraná of forest fragments. state, with little topographic variation (~150 m altitude), Anjos et al. (2007) showed that 43% of all bird species METHODS were associated with riparian forest due to differences in vegetation; they sampled 81 species and found that 19 and 45 species were unique to the non-riparian and Study area riparian habitat, respectively. Another study conducted in The study was developed in the Iguaçu National the same site showed that the difference between the bird Park (INP), in the municipality of Céu Azul, Paraná communities is mainly due to the presence of bamboo in o o the riparian forest (Chusquea sp., Willrich et al. 2016). (25 09'12''S; 53 50'42''W, Fig. 1). INP was created in Therefore, riparian bir d species may comprise a significant 1939 and its total area is 185,262.2 ha; it is a fully protected proportion of the overall local forest bird richness and Conservation Unit whose predominant vegetation is SF (ICMBio 2014). In reality, INP is home to the country›s with particular traits associated to that vegetation closer largest continuous SF area. The INP climate, according to rivers. Riparian forest could be in some extension to the classification of Köppen, is of type Cfa subtropical comparable to edges of forest fragments, since both are humid or mesothermic with hot summer, with average ecotones. We argue that edge birds of riparian forest temperatures between 15 and 25 C and rainfall above 900 mm, also distributed throughout the year (Melo et should be more adapted to the edge of forest fragments, al. 2006). while birds inhabiting the interior of the forest avoid those created habitats after deforestation (Gimenes & Anjos SF is related, in virtually the whole area of occurrence, 2003, Hansbauer et al. 2008). In this study, we tested if to a climate of two well defined seasons - one rainy and it is possible that birds that originally live in the riparian one dry (Veloso et al. 1991). The vegetation is dense and presents a great variety of vegetal species, constituted by environment in the continuous forest could be more arboreal elements (perennial or deciduous), as well as tolerant to edges that appear after forest fragmentation. To do this, the first objective of this study was to verify shrub, lianas and epiphytes. Among tree species that are if bird communities are different between a natural river associated with SF are: Assai Palm (Euterpe edulis Mart.), edge habitat and a forest interior. For this, we investigated Peroba (Aspidosperma polyneuron Müll.Arg.), Brazilian Rosewood (Aniba rosaeodora Ducke), Alecrin (Holocalyx the richness and composition of the bird communities. balansae Micheli), Angico-cedro (Parapiptadenia rigida The hypothesis is that the richness and composition of the bird communities of the two habitats are different (Benth.)

The second o bjective of this study was to compare the We sampled two habitats and denominated them as occupancy of the bird species between the two habitats. “River Edge” and “Forest Interior”. The “River E dge” o o In this case, we evaluated the occupancy probability of the (RE; 25 09'43''S; 53 49'39''W) is located on the border of a tributary of the Azul River, and the “Forest Interior” bird species according to the different habitat types. The o o (FI; 25 09'28''S; 53 50'09''W) is located at 300 m of RE, occupancy of some bird species is expected to be different between the two types of habitat, due to differences in at higher altitude (565 m a.s.l.) and at 470 m of forest vegetation. The thir d objective of this study was to verify edge (Fig. 2 in Appendix I). The tributary of the Azul if the river natural edge habitat species are less sensitive to River is a small one, with 8 to 15 m width in the section studied. In each habitat, 16 points were established (Fig. forest fragmentation. In order to do this, we investigated 1). The shortest distance between RE and FI sampling the association between the number of bird species closely related with the river natural edge habitat and their points was 80 m. sensitivity to forest fragmentation, which was previously In RE, points were allocated in four tracks (REA, Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia 27(3): 2019 River's edge birds are less sensitive to forest fragmentation Lindsey et al.

Bird sampling We used the point count method with radius of 30 m (Bibby et al. 1993) in bird sampling. This method is very effective in studies of avian habitat relationships (Anjos et al. 2010). Sampling was carried out during the breeding season of January and February of 2013, in which birds are more likely to be detected by the observer through their vocalizations. Each set of four points in both habitats was Figure 2. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) of considered as a sample unit, which was sampled in one bird communities in eight different sample units (REA, REB, day. These sample units were named REA, REB, REC REC, RED, FIA, FIB, FIC, and FID) occurring in two habitats and RED in RE and FIA, FIB, FIC and FID in FI. On (“River Edge” and “Forest Interior”) at INP. each day the points of each sample unit were sampled consecutively 1, 2, 3 and 4, and then again reversing REB, REC and RED), perpendicular to the river. The the sequence, 4, 3, 2 and 1. For example, on track A trails in this habitat were at least 300 m apart (Fig. 2 In in RE, on one day the sampling sequence of the points Appendix I). In FI, the points were allocated on a trail of was REA1, REA2, REA3, REA4, REA4, REA3, REA2, 1200 m located inside the forest. The 16 points located in REA1. The following day the sampling sequence of the this track were subdivided into four blocks of four points points was reversed: REA4, REA3, REA2, REA1, REA1, (blocks FIA, FIB, FIC, FID, Fig. 3 in Appendix I).

We sampled each sampling unit for In RE habitat we observe lower trees, with a height two days, and we sampled each sampling point four times of 8 to 15 m, having less plant species richness. Also, the (as if they had been sampled on four mornings). Studies species are adapted to periodic flooding which supports performed in the Atlantic Forest using the point count high humidity (ICMBio 1999). In the transition from RE method demonstrated that 3 to 5 days of sampling are habitat to IF habitat, vegetation changes and trees become sufficient to detect more than 90% of the species recor ded taller. In the FI habitat there is a greater richness of plant in a sample area (Anjos 2007, Cavarzere et al. 2013). species; there are large trees, with maximum heights of Sampling began shortly after sunrise, when daytime 35 m in the emerging layer, and it is common to find in birds start to vocalize, and ended 2.5 h after sampling at Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia 27(3): 2019 River's edge birds are less sensitive to forest fragmentation Lindsey et al. the first point, under favorable climatic conditions. We is the probability of the species being present in one place, sampled each point for 10 min with a 10 min interval and the probability of detection (p). between points. According to Anjos et al. (2010), if the Single season occupancy modeling requires multiple observer is interested in assessing differences between visits to sampling units during a season in which species numbers of bird species at different locations, the time can be detected. This model assumes that during these of 10 min is sufficient and in SF, 96% of the species are visits no individual enters or leaves the population (closed recorded during this time interval. model). At each visit the observer detects the presence (“1”) or absence (“0”) of the species of interest. The Statistical analysis absence may be a real absence of the species or a failure to detect the species. This type of modeling adjusts the We estimated the total richness of the bird species using variation in probability of detection while estimating the the non-parametric Chao species estimator (Herzog probability of occupancy of bird species. By incorporating et al. 2002). We evaluated the influence of space the probability of detection into the models, the imperfect (spatial autocorrelation) on the composition of bird detection is considered and the bias in the parameter species through the Mantel test (1000 permutations). estimation is reduced (MacKenzie et al. 2006). The geographic distance matrix was obtained by the Since each point was sampled four times, in each Euclidean distance on the geographical coordinates of sampling we recorded if each species of bird was detected the sample units. We obtained the similarity matrix of or not. Thus, the detection history for each bird species the species composition using the distance of Bray Curtis in each area was obtained. The detection history was on the abundance of the species in each sample unit. We then used to estimate the probability of occupancy of the performed the analysis in R software (R Development species. Core Team 2015), using the package “vegan” (Legendre For this model, the estimated parameters (occupancy & Legendre 1998, Oksanen et al. 2016). and detectability) may be a function of covariates. The We estimated the relative abundance for a single PRESENCE software (Hines 2006) recognizes two species in a habitat (RE or FI), called the Index of Point types of covariates, (1) site-specific covariates, which are Abundance (IPA), by dividing its contact number by constant for the site within the same season, e.g., habitat the total number of points sampled in each site (Bibby type, fragment size, or generalized weather patterns, et al. 1993). To avoid double counting for the same such as drought or El Niño; and (2) sampling-occasion individuals' precautions were taken particularly for those covariates, which may vary at each sampling, such as highly mobile species by adopting a field form that is temperature, precipitation, time of day or observer divided into different quadrants as suggested by Vielliard (Hines 2006). In order to verify the probability of & Silva (1990). Thus, a number of contacts of 30 for occupation of the bird species in each of the habitats, a given species resulted in an IPA equal to 0.468 (30 in the present study the first type of covariant was used. contacts divided by 64 points sampled). Thus, we tested w hether the probability of occupancy of To verify differences in bir d species composition each species of bird occurred as a function of habitat. We between the two habitats we used a permutational analysis ran occupancy models which assumed that the occupancy of variance (PERMANOVA) (Anderson 2001).

(2006) and Anjos et al. (2011). Anjos (2006) determined Considering the set of species analyzed, 15 bird the sensitivity of the birds to forest fragmentation in SF species were more associated to RE habitat, of which based on samplings carried out in 14 forest fragments three are sensitive and 12 are not sensitive to forest of different sizes and degrees of isolation. Species were fragmentation. Twenty-three bird species were more considered sensitive if they occurred only in control associated to FI habitat, of which 14 are sensitive and 9 fragments or in large, non-isolated fragments; species are not sensitive to forest fragmentation (Appendix IV). not sensitive to forest fragmentation were those that Thus, the data suggest that species of birds susceptible to occurred in all fragments, including the smallest and habitat fragmentation were those associated with the FI most isolated ones (Anjos 2006). In the present study we habitat while those that are not sensitive to fragmentation used two criteria to determine if a given species of bird were those associated with RE habitat ( = 6.13; P = was associated with one of the habitats, RE or FI: 1) the 0.013). species should be exclusive to one habitat and with at least three contacts during the total sampling period; or 2) the species should have a higher probability of occupancy in DISCUSSION one of the habitats. The software Past 3.0 was used to calculate the contingency table (Hammer et al. 2001). We found a significant difference between the The taxonomy and nomenclature followe d American composition of the bird communities of RE and FI Ornithologists' Union - South American Classification habitats, although the species richness was similar.

Species associated with the RE habitat RESULTS tend not to be sensitive to forest fragmentation. In the study by Anjos (2006) on the sensitivity of birds to forest We recorded a total of 80 species of birds in both fragmentation, species that present tolerance to edges habitats, similar to the estimated richness (Chao , 84 ± showed low sensitivity to fragmentation. The results 4 species). We detected no autocorrelation between the of the present study indicate that of the total species geographical distances of the sample units and the species associated to the RE habitat, only 20% are sensitive to composition (Mantel r = 0.063, P = 0.320). We recorded forest fragmentation, while 61% of the species associated 65 bird species in RE and 68 in FI. The number of species to the FI habitat are sensitive to forest fragmentation estimated by Chao for RE was 70 ± 4 species and the (Appendix IV). estimated number for FI was 79 ± 6 species. Therefore, A large number of physical and biological processes we found no difference between the estimated richness of occur from the edge of a fragment because of the influence the two habitats.

In Neotropical forests, birds that live species of a continuous area of forest form a significant on riverbanks in a continuous forest and occupy the edge part of the bird communities that persist in small forest of the remaining habitat after fragmentation and birds fragments, with intense edge effect. This shows that not from open areas should select similar abiotic conditions all the forest edge species are the result of colonization such as air temperature, spatial variation of solar from open habitats. As expected, species that occupy the radiation, humidity and wind speed. On the other hand, most remote areas of the river vegetation in a continuous forest species, such as understory insectivorous birds, forest are those most sensitive to forest fragmentation. select microhabitats with different abiotic characteristics and do not occupy the edge of the small forest fragments or fragments considered “all border” (Pollock et al. 2015, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Stratford & Stouffer 2015).
