Influência da paisagem e fenologia na ocorrência e detecção de mamíferos em área de restauração ecológica na transição Cerrado - Amazônia

Abstract

In tropical forests, it found a great diversity of plant species, with reduced fruit set, ripening time and diverse dispersal modes. Most fruits are zoochoric, feeding animals that feed on them, exclusive or limited and that contribute to the dispersal of seeds of plant species, determining their spatial distribution. This process involves specific relationships between fauna and flora, resulting in the permanence of plant species that depend directly on this relationship for their reproductive success and influence the restoration and maintenance of degraded ecosystems. Highlights: Landscape influence and phenology in the detection and detection of terrestrial mammals that exploit the fruits and act as seed dispersers of ten species of zoochoric angiosperms that use target species in the restoration of degraded areas in the territory of the Guaranteed Energética Hydroelectric Power Plant SA, located in the municipality of Guarantã do Norte, in the CerradoAmazonia transition zone, in the north of Mato Grosso. Data collection was performed for a period of 12 months, in 2018 and 2019, at fruiting temperatures of 10 fruit producing tree species that serve as food for terrestrial mammals. Occupation and detection modeling was used, based on data captured through photographic traps that remain for 48 hours, interrupted in each tree matrix at 30-day intervals. 204 records of terrestrial mammals, belonging to 11 species and classified in the literature as fundamental for the recovery of degraded areas were recorded. Impacted by the availability of fruits of two or more simultaneous plant species. Armed with these ecological bases, possibilities for success in intervention and assistance in natural succession processes will be maximized.
