-(Floristic composition of a "cerrado" sensu stricto remnant in Botucatu, SP). A floristic survey of a "cerrado" sensu stricto area was carried out in Botucatu, west-central region of São Paulo State, southeastern Brazil. One-hundredseventy-nine angiosperms taxa (177 species) were recorded distributed in 122 genera and 49 families. Five species of pteridophytes were also collected, belonging to four genera and two families. The woody component was predominant, representing more than 60% of the registered species. The arboreal to non-arboreal species ratio was 1:3. The families with the highest species richness were: Asteraceae (27 species), Fabaceae (22), Myrtaceae (11). The comparison among six cerrado areas revealed great floristic heterogeneity since the similarity indexes produced low values, even among neighboring areas.Key words -"cerrado" floristic, profile diagram, similarity RESUMO -(Composição florística de remanescente de cerrado sensu stricto em Botucatu, SP). Realizou-se o levantamento florístico de uma área remanescente de cerrado sensu stricto no Município de Botucatu, região centro-oeste do Estado de São Paulo, Sudeste do Brasil. Foram registrados 179 táxons de angiospermas (177 espécies) distribuídas em 122 gêneros e 49 famílias e cinco espécies de pteridófitas pertencentes a quatro gêneros e duas famílias. O componente lenhoso foi predominante representando mais de 60% das espécies registradas. A proporção das espécies arbóreas para as não arbóreas foi de 1:3. As famílias com maior riqueza foram: Asteraceae (27 espécies), Fabaceae (22), Myrtaceae (11).

SummaryIn order to conserve species exploited by trafficking, governmental actions should be directed to source areas, aiming to reduce or eliminate illegal and indiscriminate trapping. However, few studies have diagnosed and prioritized the most relevant drivers of the illegal capture of wild animals. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the main drivers of the illegal capture of wild birds in Brazil. A literature review and a multivariate modelling approach indicated the economic, social and environmental factors that display the greatest influence in boosting this illicit activity worldwide. Our search revealed seven drivers of illegal wildlife capture addressed by researchers in studies carried out in source countries. This is the first broad-scale study in Brazil showing that higher native vegetation coverage and greater proximity to protected areas were the main drivers of illegal wild bird capture for trafficking. Thus, actions that aim to protect species threatened by trafficking require a multidisciplinary approach encompassing social, economic and environmental factors.
