“…The Paranaguá Estuary and its adjacent areas are used for 4 main human activities: artisanal fishery, port facilities, urban/tourism development (Pierri et al 2006) and nature conservation. The Guaraqueçaba Bay and its surroundings, including parts of the lower estuary, are better preserved than the east -west axis of the estuarine complex.…”

This study investigated use of the Paranaguá Estuary as a foraging habitat by juvenile green turtles Chelonia mydas (L.) by comparing gut contents to available vegetal resources within the estuary. Between June 2004 and July 2007, the carcasses of 80 juvenile green turtles (carapace length range 29 to 73 cm) were found stranded (n = 71) or captured (n = 9) in fishing nets. The digestive tracts of 76 turtles contained food contents which were quantified (ml) and identified (e.g. algae, seagrass, mangrove propagules, mangrove vegetation and shells). Anthropogenic debris was classified by material, colour and size. Green turtles fed primarily on Halodule wrightii (42.9% of total volume), other vegetal resources (Ulva spp.: 6.7%; Avicennia shaueriana propagules: 10.1%) and other items (37.9%); ingested animal matter was seldom recorded (2.4%). The occurrence and/or availability of vegetal resources were assessed throughout the year. H. wrightii was ingested more frequently during the early rainy season, when the index of importance in the diet was higher (feeding index, FI: 97.3). Ulva spp. was ingested principally in the late dry season and A. shaueriana propagules in the late rainy season (FI: 23.9 and 12, respectively), when H. wrightii was not available. Anthropogenic debris was frequently ingested (69.7% of individuals), and was especially important in the late rainy season (FI: 60.3). This study highlights the importance of sheltered ecosystems such as the Paranaguá Estuary and adjacent regions in providing shelter, feeding grounds and resting areas for juvenile green turtles.

“…It is a region of great scenic beauty and many environmental resources, where approximately 23 816 people live in an area covering 202 159 km 2 . In the area is a site of great archaeological wealth, the Sambaqui Guaraguaçu, representing the largest and most studied on the coast of Paraná inhabited for about 6000 years (Pierri et al ., , p. 144). The city has the following resources: (i) fishing; (ii) tourism and beaches: Pontal provides the main access to the Ilha do Mel ( Honey Island ), a great local tourist attraction; (iii) nature with the ‘largest continuous area of Atlantic Rain Forest still preserved’ (Pierri et al ., , p. 150); and (iv) port facilities because of the depth of Paranaguá Bay.…”

Pontal do Paraná aims at combining oil industries, environmental protection of fragile areas and improvement in the lives of local people. Applying a multi-modal systems thinking qualitative approach, several factors and their interrelationships were identified pointing to threats to the overall sustainability of the area. These factors emerged from the analysis of open interviews, documents and specialized literature. We particularly focused on the social aspect and its interrelationship with other modalities to conclude that the sustainability of the region's socio-environmental systems could be compromised in the long term if proper measures are not taken.

“…Paraná State coastal area comprises about 4000 km 2 , and it is limited in its east side by the Atlantic Ocean and in its west side by the Serra do Mar mountain range (Miretzki 2003, Pierri et al 2006, Maack 2012 (Figure 1). The northern and southern boundaries are the São Paulo and Santa Catarina states coastal areas, respectively.…”

Is the knowledge of bat distribution in the Atlantic Rainforest sufficient? Comments about new findings and a case study in the Paraná State coastal area, Brazil

This study aimed to utilize data of recent studies of bats surveying in the Atlantic Rainforest to evaluate the degree of knowledge of bat distribution in this biome. Data of new records or range extension of species published between 2010 and 2013 were compared among Brazilian biomes. We also utilized a case study in the Paraná State coastal area, southern Brazil, which was considered of low priority for bat inventories but had new records reported recently. The Atlantic Rainforest showed the highest number of papers with new information about bat distribution in Brazil. The number of bat species for this biome reaches 117. In the past 10 years, 11 new records have been reported for the Paraná State coastal area, increasing the bat richness by 33%. Our findings suggest that we do not know sufficiently the bat distribution across the Atlantic Rainforest. In such a hotspot for biodiversity conservation, it may be dangerous to establish low-priority areas for inventories, especially when an almost unique and biased survey method has been used.
