“…This species is common on flooded areas, fruiting during the flood season in Pantanal (Lorenzi 2002). Primates, birds and bats were already registered in literature consuming B. arguta fruits (Bravo & Sallenave 2003, Ragusa-Netto & Fecchio 2006, Gonçalves et al 2007, Teixeira et al 2009). …”

Abstract:The role of fish as frugivorous and its ecological consequences are often neglected in ecological studies. However, the importance of the interaction between fish and plants is gaining force in scientific literature, and fish has been considered effective seed dispersers. The fruit-eating fish assemblage of Banara arguta (Salicaceae) was evaluated in Southern Pantanal wetlands. Nine species were reported consuming fruits, with different strategies to capture them. The distribution of B. arguta associated with the Pantanal floodplain and the presence of several species of fruit-eating fish, suggest that ichthyochory can be an important seed dispersal strategy to B. arguta.

Entretanto, a importância da interação entre peixes e plantas vem ganhando força na literatura científica, e peixes têm sido considerados como efetivos dispersores de sementes. A comunidade de peixes frugívoros de Banara arguta (Salicaceae) foi avaliada no Pantanal Sul. Nove espécies foram reportadas consumindo os frutos, com diferentes estratégias para capturá-los. A distribuição de B. arguta associada à planície de inundação no Pantanal, além da presença de várias espécies de peixes frugívoros, sugere que a ictiocoria pode ser uma importante estratégia de dispersão de sementes para B. arguta.

“…Frutos: São usados como isca de pescaria e apreciados pela fauna avícola, incluindo periquitos, araras e emas, também considerados seus principais dispersores (RAGUSA- NETTO & FECCHIO, 2006;LORENZI et al, 1996). Planta toda: Devido a ausência de espinhos no estipe, forma palmada e coloração azul-acinzentada de suas folhas, assim como sua rusticidade e resistência ao frio, C. alba tem sido utilizada em projetos paisagísticos e de jardinagem, em diversas partes do mundo (PAISAGISMO DIGITAL, 2011;GRASSÍA, 2010) …”

RESUMO:Copernicia alba Morong ex Morong & Britton é uma palmeira que constitui formações monodominantes denominadas "carandazais", com ocorrência restrita à porção sudoeste da América Latina. Possui uma ampla gama de usos populares e é considerada como potencial fonte de cera similar à da carnaúba Visando ressaltar a importância de C. alba como potencial fonte de recursos potencializando seu uso, apresenta-se revisão sobre aspectos botânicos, ecológicos, etnobotânicos e agronômicos desta espécie. Palavras-chave: carandá, carandazal, coqueiro-carandá. ABSTRACT:Copernicia alba Morong ex Morong & Britton is a palm species that forms monodominant formations called "carandazais", that is restricted to the southwest of Latin-America. It has a large range of popular uses and is considered as potential source of wax that is similar to carnauba. Aiming to highlight the importance of C.alba as potential source of natural resources, a literature review comprising its botanical, ecological, ethnobotanical and agronomical aspects is presented.

“…While some species may be both habitat and foraging specialists, most of them are generalist, often exhibiting seasonal dietary shifts (Galetti, 1993;Ragusa-Netto, 2004;Ragusa-Netto and Fecchio, 2006), and movements within vegetation mosaics according to resource availability (Renton, 2001;Ragusa-Netto, 2005).…”

“…In addition, they exhibit a flexible diet, which may include diverse food items ranging from nectar to seeds (Roth, 1984;Pizo et al, 1995;Galetti, 1997;Ragusa-Netto, 2004;Ragusa-Netto and Fecchio, 2006). Therefore, they may play such ecological roles as seed predators (Janzen, 1981;Francisco et al, 2002;Ragusa-Netto, 2002b), and pollinators of tree species (Vicentini and Fischer, 1999;Coton, 2001;Ragusa-Netto, 2002a), although parakeets often exploit nectar, destructively damaging much of the flower crops.…”

“…In Brazil, P. molinae mostly occurs in the dry forests of western Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul (Sick, 1997). In spite of being common, no information is available on their feeding ecology, which may include contrasting patterns of food resource use in response to the pronounced seasonality of their major habitats (Galetti, 1993;Ragusa-Netto, 2004;Ragusa-Netto and Fecchio, 2006). Moreover, extensive areas inhabited by P. molinae have largely been cleared for pasture lands and field crops (del Hoyo et al, 1997).…”

The genus Pyrrhura includes small to medium-sized parakeets, which inhabit both low and dry alongside tall rainforests, mainly in South America. Pyrrhura molinae is still common, year round, in the markedly seasonal forests of western Brazil. This parakeet, as well as most Neotropical parrots, continues to be poorly understood. Hence, in the present study I examined their foraging ecology both in a highly deciduous and in a semi-deciduous forest in western Brazil. In addition, I assessed the relationship between food resource production (flowers and fruits), and the diet of this parakeet. Pyrrhura molinae exhibited a flexible diet consisting of 16 tree species, from which it consumed flowers (three species), seeds (three species), fruit pulp or aril (four species), and both pulp and seeds (six species). Parakeets consumed a wide array of fleshy fruits in the semi-deciduous forest, especially Cecropia pachystachya catkins. Conversely, in the highly deciduous forest they extensively foraged for figs (70% of the diet), in addition to nectar and seeds from dry fruits. Ficus calyptroceras, besides being abundant, bore fruits year round, and was substantially used by parakeets every month. Potentially, by exploiting a diverse set of plant food resources, and particularly due to the substantial use of figs, asynchronously produced, Pyrrhura molinae persists during the long dry season in the markedly seasonal forests of western Brazil.Keywords: Pyrrhura molinae, Psittacidae, parrots, dry forests, canopy phenology.Ecologia alimentar da Tiriba-de-cara-suja (Pyrrhura molinae) em matas secas do oeste brasileiro ResumoO gênero Pyrrhura é constituido de pequenos periquitos comuns tanto em matas secas quanto úmidas, sobretudo da América do Sul. Pyrrhura molinae ocorre durante o ano todo em florestas altamente sazonais do oeste brasileiro. Essa espécie, bem como a maioria dos psitacídeo, permanece pouco conhecida. Portanto, nesse estudo, foi examinada a ecologia alimentar de P. molinae em dois tipos de florestas secas (altamente decídua e semidecídua), do oeste brasileiro, bem como as relações entre a produção de flores frutos e a utilização desses recursos. Pyrrhura molinae exibiu uma dieta flexível em que utilizou recursos de 16 espécies arbóreas, sendo flores de três, sementes de outras três, a polpa dos frutos ou arilo de quatro espécies e, simultaneamente, a polpa e semente de seis espécies. Os periquitos consumiram principalmente frutos carnosos na floresta semidecídua, especialmente as infrutescências de Cecropia pachystachya. Por outro lado, na floresta altamente decídua, figos predominaram na dieta (70% dos registros de alimentação), somados ao néctar e sementes de frutos secos. Ficus calyptroceras, além de abundante produziu frutos o ano todo, que foram consumidos substancialmente pelos periquitos mês a mês. Presumivelmente, por explorar uma ampla variedade de recursos vegetais e subsistir, em grande parte, a base de figos produzidos assincronicamente, Pyrrhura molinae persiste à severa estação seca nas matas ...
