“…The positive in uence of more open habitats, both on public interest and on new occurrences of birds, best expressed the relationship between the popularity of the species and their occurrence in areas outside their natural range. Based on this result, we can suggest that more open environments are the most used to capture birds for trade, as they are probably more accessible to the population, which in uences the public's familiarity with the species [22,25,46,87]. In addition, the presence of birds from more open environments in new areas demonstrate that they have greater environmental tolerance, being able to establish themselves in different environments from which they are commonly associated.…”

“…Birds represent the majority of species traded as wild pets in Brazil, most of which come from illegal capture in the wild [11][12][13][14]. In addition, trade in these birds occurs interregionally, involving native and exotic species from each region of the country [15][16][17][18] and is associated with occurrence of some species traded outside their natural range [19,20], possibly due to escape or release of these animals [21,22]. Thus, the need to investigate the factors involved in the trade of wild birds in this scenario is evident, including the biological attributes of the species with greater commercial demand and the factors that guide consumer interest.…”

BACKGROUND Several bird species involved in commercial trade of pets in Brazil, have presented occurrences outside their natural habitat, which may indicate possible introductions due to this activity. In this context we sought to evaluate the factors that influence the public’s interest in wild birds sold as pets in Brazil, and the relationship of those factors with new occurrences of birds outside their natural distribution area, discussing the relationship of commercial trade with possible introductions in new environments. METHODS We compiled the richness of bird species traded in Brazil and obtained comparative data of public interest directed to these species through the Google Trend tool. In addition, we gathered data on biological attributes and data on the sale price of the species in the trade, to analyze which factors would be related to public interest. New occurrences of birds outside their natural range were considered only if they were at a minimum distance of 800 km. Thus, factors related to public interest were then used to assess whether there was a relationship with these new occurrences. Data analysis was performed using Mixed Generalized Linear Models (GLMMs). RESULTS The results indicated that the public’s interest in certain species varies according to the region of the country, suggesting that the profile of interest in wild birds by people on the internet can be guided by sociocultural factors of each location. In addition, we found that the public interest is greater for songbirds, with generalist diet, which live in more open environments, have a greater distribution area and are sold at lower prices. All those factors, except for the distribution area, also showed to be related to the birds that presented new occurrences. CONCLUSIONS The public's preference for birds from more open and more generalist environments is probably the most important data, as such factors generally indicate greater environmental tolerance, which may favor the establishment of these birds in new environments. Thus, actions aimed at the conservation of commercialized species are essential to reduce the interregional trade of species, and consequently reduce the impact on natural populations and reduce the potential for new biological introductions.

“…We tested the performance of our ecological niche modelling using spatial block cross-validation, based on a geographically structured checkerboard to control the potential spatial autocorrelation between training and testing data (Roberts et al 2017). The test and training data were used to test for spatial autocorrelation (Moran's I) and environmental similarity (MESS -Multivariate Environmental Similarity Surface) (Destro et al 2020). Moran's I ranges from of -1 to 1, distinguishing between negative and positive spatial autocorrelation, respectively (Diniz-Filho et al 2003).…”

Background and aims – Climatic fluctuations during the Pleistocene altered the distribution of many species and even entire biomes, allowing some species to increase their range while others underwent reductions. Recent and ongoing anthropogenic climate change is altering climatic patterns very rapidly and is likely to impact species’ distributions over shorter timescales than previous natural fluctuations. Therefore, we aimed to understand how Pleistocene and Holocene climatic fluctuations might have shaped the current distribution of Holoregmia and explore its expected distribution under future climate scenarios. Material and methods – We modelled the potential distribution of Holoregmia viscida (Martyniaceae), a monospecific plant genus endemic to the semi-arid Caatinga Domain in Brazil. We used an ensemble approach to model suitable areas for Holoregmia under present conditions, Paleoclimatic scenarios, and global warming scenarios in 2050 and 2090. Key results – Holocene climates in most Caatinga were too humid for Holoregmia, which restricted its suitable areas to the southern Caatinga, similar to its current distribution. However, under global warming scenarios, the Caatinga is expected to become too dry for this lineage, resulting in a steady decline in the area suitable for Holoregmia and even its possible extinction under the most pessimistic scenario modelled. Conclusion – The predicted extinction of the ancient and highly specialized Holoregmia viscida highlights the possible consequences of climate change for some species of endemic Caatinga flora. Invaluable phylogenetic diversity may be lost in the coming decades, representing millions of years of unique evolutionary history and consequent loss of evolutionary potential to adapt to future environmental changes in semi-arid environments.

“…The trade of these birds occurs inter-regionally in the country, taking species from one region to another (Destro et al 2012;Nascimento et al 2015;Oliveira et al 2020a;Regueira and Bernard 2012). In addition, there are recent reports about traded species of birds occurring outside their natural range (BirdLife International 2019; Wikiaves 2021), possibly due to escape or release of these animals (Destro et al 2019(Destro et al , 2020a. Since the wild pet trade is one of the responsible for introducing exotic species in nature (Lockwood et al 2019), there is a need to investigate whether there's a relationship between the interest of people in traded birds, and the occurrences of these birds outside their natural range.…”

In this work we sought to evaluate the factors that influence the public's interest in wild birds sold as pets in Brazil, and the relationship of those factors with new occurrences of birds outside their natural range. We compiled the richness of bird species traded in Brazil and obtained comparative data of public interest directed to these species through the Google Trend tool. In addition, we gathered data on biological attributes and the sale price of the species in the trade, to analyze which factors would be related to public interest. Then, factors related to public interest were used to assess whether there was a relationship with these new occurrences. The main founds indicated that the public interest is greater for songbirds, omnivores, which live in more open environments and are sold at lower prices. All those factors also showed to be related to the birds that presented new occurrences. The public's preference for birds more generalist and from more open environments are important results, as such factors generally indicate greater environmental tolerance, which may favor the establishment of these birds in new environments. Therefore, it is likely that species releases or escape from captivity, combined with their life history attributes, may favor the establishment of isolates in new environments. Thus, the present results demonstrate that actions aimed at the conservation of commercialized species are essential to reduce the interregional trade of species, and consequently reduce the impact on natural populations and reduce the potential for new biological introductions.
