“…Also, the size of dry forest enclaves, coupled with their distance in relation to the Caatinga province, appears to be an important factor shaping the occurrence of Caatinga birds. For example, in the Paranã River Valley, the largest Cerrado dry forest enclave (Werneck, 2011), with a considerable area of c. 13,000 km² (Bianchi & Haig, 2013), but c. 300 km west of the Caatinga, only the following taxa have been reported: Columbina picui strepitans, Icterus jamacaii, and Compsothraupis loricata (Blamires et al, 2002;Pacheco & Olmos, 2006;Martins, 2007). Nevertheless, other factors should be responsible for this pattern, since several phytophisiognomies occurring in the Caatinga do not occur in Central Brazilian dry forests (AndradeLima, 1981;Rizzini, 1997), probably excluding some taxa typical to this biogeographic province.…”

“…Seasonally dry tropical forests (hereafter SDTFs) present a circum-Amazonian distribution in South America and have been the main focus of many recent biogeographic and conservation studies (e.g., Prado & Gibbs, 1993;Espírito-Santo et al, 2009;Pennington et al, 2000Pennington et al, , 2006Pennington et al, , 2009Zanella, 2010;Werneck, 2011;Werneck et al, 2011;Santos et al, 2012;Arruda et al, 2013;DryFlor, 2016). These forests are usually associated with fertile soils and with climates marked by highly seasonal rainfall with a severe dry season of three to six months, when most of the vegetation is leafless (Pennington et al, 2006;DryFlor, 2016).…”

Abstract. Cerrado dry forest enclaves have been treated as an endemic bird area. In the last years, some avifaunal surveys have been conducted in dry forests on the left bank of the São Francisco River, eastern Brazil. Nevertheless, there is a gap of detailed ornithological surveys in the Cerrado dry forest enclaves on the right bank of this river. Here, we present the first avifaunal survey of a Cerrado dry forest enclave on the right bank of the São Francisco River. The study area, named "Curral de Pedras", comprises a dry forest enclave and other associated habitats in central Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil. We recorded 172 bird species; nine taxa have their ranges strongly associated to the Caatinga; six present their ranges associated to the Atlantic Forest and one is typical of the Cerrado. Important records are those of Campylopterus calcirupicola, a recently described species associated with dry forests of central Brazil, and Celeus ochraceus, collected in its southernmost range. Furthermore, we obtained specimens that present intermediate phenotypes between the following woodcreeper species: Lepidocolaptes squamatus / L. wagleri and Xiphocolaptes albicollis / X. falcirostris. Those records reinforce the need of further sampling and collecting activities in those dry forest enclaves aiming future researches in taxonomy, geographic variation, and phylogeography.

“…À medida que se adentra no continente, há uma diminuição pluviométrica devido à aproximação da região do polígono das secas. Na BHRM são encontrados os biomas Caatinga, caracterizado por arbustos e florestas sazonalmente secas (Leal et al, 2005) e Mata Atlântica, caracterizada por florestas sazonalmente secas ou tropicais (Werneck, 2011). São encontradas também restingas e manguezais; de vegetações originais da Caatinga, Floresta Tropical Atlântica e vegetação litorânea.…”

A B S T R A C TStudies focused on the understanding of hydrological processes are of paramount importance to assist in the management and decision-making related to water resources in watersheds. Hydrological models are considered powerful tools in understanding these processes. However, such models require a range of data that is not easily accessible. This study aimed to apply and test the SWAT model, following a recommended sequence of procedures in a sub-basin of the Mundaú River, in the Northeast of Brazil. Input data were used as a land use map, a digital elevation map and a soil type map, as well as a period data of 2000 to 2016, in daily time step. The accuracy of the model based on the Nash-Sutcliffe coefficient (CNS), by percentage of trend (PBIAS) and by the coefficient of determination (R²). The values of CNS, PBIAS and R² were 0.53; -7.1 and 0.56, respectively, for the calibration period. It was possible to perform the hydrological modeling with the SWAT model in the Mundaú river sub-basin, obtaining the satisfactory performance, according to the CNS and very good considering the PBIAS in the calibration. With the calibrated model, future studies can be carried out with the SWAT to validate it and predict possible impacts of climate change and land use in the studied basin. Studies such as this have shown that, increasingly, experimental data are essential for adequate representation and understanding of processes through hydrological modeling.

“…Historical climatic modeling of the Caatinga range predicted the expansion of some components of the nucleus of the Caatinga into the Cerrado regions of central and southeastern Brazil since the last glacial maximum (ca. 21,000 years ago) (Werneck and Coli 2006;Werneck 2011;Werneck et al 2011). Therefore, the occurrence of these species, including C. greeningi, within the Cerrado biome may be associated to a relictual distribution of Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests in central Brazil.…”
