Birding in North-East Brazil, Part 2: the Vast State of Bahia Ciro Albano >> BIRDING SITES BIRDING NORTH-EAST BRAZIL: BAHIA Birding in north-east Brazil, part 2: The vast state of Bahia Ciro Albano No birder can feel satisfied without ever visiting the country of Brazil, home to over half of the Neotropical avifauna. In this second and final part on top birding places in north-east Brazil, the author makes this point abundantly clear… What are you waiting for?

The Chapada Hooded Visorbearer; it lives on the rocky Diamantina forms part of a long series of highlands mountains, known as mesas, of the region. The linked to the Espinhaço range, which extends easiest and closest place is the Morro do Pai Inácio north from central Minas Gerais through Bahia, (12°27’22.00”S 41°28’24.95”W).

Johansson,a,b and Per G.P. Ericsona a Department of Vertebrate Zoology and Molecular Systematics Laboratory, Swedish Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden b Department of Zoology, University of Stockholm, SE-106 91 Stockholm, Sweden c Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Received 29 August 2001; received in revised form 17 January 2002 Abstract Based on their highly specialized ‘‘tracheophone’’ syrinx, the avian families Furnariidae (ovenbirds), Dendrocolaptidae (woodcreepers), Formicariidae (ground antbirds), Thamnophilidae (typical antbirds), Rhinocryptidae (tapaculos), and Conop- ophagidae (gnateaters) have long been recognized to constitute a monophyletic group of suboscine passerines. However, the monophyly of these families have been contested and their interrelationships are poorly understood, and this constrains the pos- sibilities for interpreting adaptive tendencies in this very diverse group. In this study we present a higher-level phylogeny and classification for the tracheophone birds based on phylogenetic analyses of sequence data obtained from 32 ingroup taxa. Both mitochondrial (cytochrome b) and nuclear genes (c-myc, RAG-1, and myoglobin) have been sequenced, and more than 3000 bp were subjected to parsimony and maximum-likelihood analyses. The phylogenetic signals in the mitochondrial and nuclear genes were compared and found to be very similar. The results from the analysis of the combined dataset (all genes, but with transitions at third codon positions in the cytochrome b excluded) partly corroborate previous phylogenetic hypotheses, but several novel arrangements were also suggested.

  • An Analysis of the Evolution of Socioeconomic Inequality in Brazilian States Since 1976 †
    sustainability Article Through the Irregular Paths of Inequality: An Analysis of the Evolution of Socioeconomic Inequality in Brazilian States Since 1976 † Paulo Mourao 1,* and Alexandre Junqueira 2 1 School of Management and Economics & NIPE, Minho University, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal 2 School of Management and Economics, Minho University, 4710-57 Braga, Portugal; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] † Authors acknowledge the contribution of two anonymous reviewers on a previous version of this research. Remaining limitations are authors’ exclusive ones. Abstract: Patterns of inequality tend to seriously undermine any attempt at economic growth policy when the inequality is perceived by significant groups of individuals as unjust, inhuman, and insurmountable. One country with a high degree of inequality has been Brazil (usually in the world top-10). Brazil had also witnessed strong dynamics of certain indicators, such as the Gini coefficient, over the last several decades. However, so far, such dynamics have not been properly analyzed, especially considering the significant differences across Brazilian states. For filling that gap, this study used econometric techniques specific to time series and tried to identify structural breaks in the series of Gini coefficients for the 27 Brazilian states since 1976. Results showed a tendency towards an increase in inequality until 1995, followed by a reduction in inequality since 2000. Some cases of Brazilian states were related to the absence of structural breaks, showing a maintenance of historical trends in the evolution of inequality, which raises important policies’ challenges.

  • Distribution of Birds Along an Elevational Gradient in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil: Implications for the Conservation of Endemic and Endangered Species
    Bird Conservation International (1999) 9:235-253. © BirdLife International 1999 Distribution of birds along an elevational gradient in the Atlantic forest of Brazil: implications for the conservation of endemic and endangered species JAQUELINE M. GOERCK Summary In this study I compare bird communities along an elevational gradient in an Atlantic forest remnant (Pico do Corcovado in Ubatuba) in coastal Sao Paulo state, Brazil. Forests at low elevations are structurally more complex and more diverse in plant species than those along the slopes and at higher elevations in this remnant. Consequently it is hypothesized that low elevation forests contain a greater diversity of bird species. Results from the study in the Corcovado area show clear differences in the distribution of forest birds along the elevational gradient from both qualitative and quantitative aspects. The structurally more complex forest at low elevations contains the most diverse avifauna, including several of the rarest and most threatened species. The importance of this remnant as a whole is apparent due to the high diversity observed (254 species), the high proportion of endemic species, and the extent to which the avifauna is endangered. Protection of forests at all elevations along the Serra do Mar is required to maintain diversity of bird species, particularly the many endemic and endangered species restricted to specific elevations. Resumo Comunidades de aves foram comparadas ao longo de um gradiente altitudinal em um remanescente florestal de Mata Atlantica (Pico do Corcovado em Ubatuba) na costa do estado de Sao Paulo. As florestas de baixada sao mais diversas e mais complexas estruturalmente do que as florestas de encosta ou de altitude e consequentemente espera-se que as florestas de baixada possuam uma maior diversidade de aves.

  • New Data Concerning the Distribution, Behaviour, Ecology and Taxonomic Relationships of Minas Gerais Tyrannulet Phylloscartes Roquettei
    Bird Conservation International (2002) 12:241–253. BirdLife International 2002 DOI: 10.1017/S0959270902002150 Printed in the United Kingdom New data concerning the distribution, behaviour, ecology and taxonomic relationships of Minas Gerais Tyrannulet Phylloscartes roquettei MARCOS A. RAPOSO, JUAN MAZAR BARNETT, GUY M. KIRWAN and RICARDO PARRINI Summary We report new observations of the globally threatened Minas Gerais Tyrannulet Phylloscartes roquettei from two areas in the Sa˜o Francisco Valley, Minas Gerais, Brazil, between July 1993 and February 2002. Four pairs, one fledged young and two lone individuals were observed in the course of our fieldwork. It was previously known only from a female taken in the mid-1920s and sight records and tape-recordings in 1977.Our records extend the species’ known range 250 km south and west of the type-locality region. Details of the first-known male specimen are presented, along with novel data concerning its vocalizations and behaviour. We draw attention to the possible relationship of the species to a group of four other Phylloscartes tyrannulets with similarly patterned faces and overall plumage, which exhibit a similar circum-Amazonian distribution pattern to three Phyllomyias tyrannulets. We also take the opportunity to draw more attention to the imperilled conservation status of the dry forests upon which P. roquettei and a host of other threatened and Near-threatened avian taxa depend. Resumo Sa˜o apresentadas novas observac¸o˜es sobre a espe´cie pouco conhecida e ameac¸ada Phylloscartes roquettei, endeˆmica do vale do rio Sa˜o Francisco, Minas Gerais, Brasil, realizadas entre os anos de 1993 e 2002.
