“…The avifauna of Alagoas can be categorized into three major groups according to their biogeographical affinities: that of the seasonally dry forests of the state's interior (Caatinga birds), that of the rainforests (Atlantic Forest birds), and that of the coastal and oceanic environments (shorebirds and seabirds). Despite its relatively small area, the state harbors eight out of the 13 bird taxa considered to be endemic or near-endemic to the Caatinga (Lima, 2021); and may harbor more since the state's interior has been considerably less surveyed than its rainforests. Potential species from this group include Sakesphoroides cristatus and Megaxenops parnaguae, which are known to occur in nearby Pernambuco very close to the states' boundary.…”

“…This center of endemism -supported by distributional patterns from a varied array of organisms including birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates and plants -comprises the strip of Atlantic Forest north of the São Francisco River (Brown, 1982;Prance, 1982;Silva et al, 2004;DaSilva et al, 2015;França et al, 2020;Peres et al, 2020) and has one of the world's most threatened avifauna (Teixeira, 1986;Collar et al, 1992;Brooks & Balmford, 1996;Lees & Pimm, 2015). The interior of the state, in contrast to the coast's rainforest, forms part of the Caatinga, the largest continuous area of the seasonally dry tropical forest biome, which harbors several birds found nowhere else (Lima, 2021). In addition, the state is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, where it is rich in seabirds (Olmos, 2002;Sousa et al, 2005;Ramos et al, 2017;Almeida et al, 2019) (Fig.…”

The northeast Brazilian state of Alagoas harbors a rather diverse, and one of the world’s most threatened, avifauna. However, the knowledge about its avifauna is currently scattered on several publications and the state’s birds have never been comprehensively assembled into a checklist. To fill this shortfall, we present here the first critical review of all available bird records for the state of Alagoas. We present a list of 520 bird species recorded in the state, of which 503 are supported by documentary evidence. We also comment on the distribution, migratory movements, taxonomy and conservation of the region’s avifauna and correct previous misidentified or invalid records for the state.

Este estudo apresenta os resultados da pesquisa que investigou a presença de grupos de dança em quatro municípios localizados na região do Vale do São Francisco, com o objetivo central de registrar informações sobre os conhecimentos e práticas locais relacionados às manifestações culturais características de cada localidade. A seleção dos informantes foi realizada através da técnica da bola de neve, usando como instrumento de coleta de dados entrevistas. Para a análise, os dados históricos foram analisados de forma qualitativa, utilizando o software Atlas.ti. Essa abordagem permitiu a codificação, e a análise de conteúdo, das diversas competências individuais dos participantes dos grupos envolvidos. Por meio desta análise, fica claro que a preservação e promoção das manifestações culturais desses grupos são essenciais, não só para proteger o patrimônio cultural, mas, estas também contribuem para o avanço social, cultural e ambiental das comunidades envolvidos.

“…Two main routes connecting the northeastern AF and AM have been proposed (Andrade‐Lima, 1982; Bigarella et al., 1975; Bigarella & Andrade‐Lima, 1982). One along the coastal region of northeastern Brazil through remnants of humid and forested vegetation, known as ‘brejos de altitude’, that were probably continuous in the past (Andrade‐Lima, 1964, 1982; Bigarella & Andrade‐Lima, 1982; Castro et al., 2019), and have current persisted in montane forest fragments surrounded by an open and dry environment of the Caatinga (Andrade‐Lima, 1982; Batalha‐Filho et al., 2013; Carnaval & Bates, 2007; Lima, 2021; Santos et al., 2007; Thomé et al., 2016). Another route would have been through a corridor formed in the middle of the Caatinga during the Plio‐Pleistocene (Auler et al., 2004; Auler & Smart, 2001; Batalha‐Filho et al., 2013; Oliveira et al., 1999), or earlier during the Miocene (De Sá et al., 2019; Pellegrino et al., 2011; Prates et al., 2017; Rodrigues et al., 2014).…”

An open and dry vegetation belt separates Amazonia (AM) and the Atlantic Forest (AF). Evidence from palaeoclimatic and phylogenetic studies suggests past connections between these forests during cycles of increased humidity through the formation of forest corridors. The distinctive northern AF avifauna is known to have affinities both with AM and the southern AF. Still, the extent of how these two regions contributed to the assemblage of this avifauna remains poorly understood. Using historical demographic analyses and comparative phylogeography based on sub‐genomic genetic sampling, we assessed how past connections between AM and AF led to shared vicariance and colonization events in four avian AF endemic taxa. Our results supported the occurrence of humid forest corridors promoting the contact between AF and AM populations and suggested two vicariant events and two colonization events from AF to AM. Population divergences were mostly non‐synchronous and occurred multiple times during the Pleistocene. Historical gene flow was prevalent across study groups, supporting migration flows after the initial separation between AM and AF – a pattern previously unknown in birds between these regions. Idiosyncratic histories and divergent demographic syndromes suggest that organisms' responses to climate‐driven habitat shifts broadly depend on their ecological attributes. This study strengthened our knowledge of past connections between AM and AF and provided demographic scenarios amenable for testing in other groups of co‐distributed organisms.
