In tropical rainforests, a pronounced gradient of biotic and abiotic factors can
be found. A great heterogeneity is generated and natural differences between areas
are showed, creating niches with specific characteristics. Thus, the hábitat can be
use virtually differentiated, with high potential to modify the species distribution and
density. The present work analyzed the effect of the forest structure on primate
communities in two different scales: local and regional. The work was carried through
21 transectos, totalizing 112 km in unflooded forests, 112 km in várzeas and 112 km
in igapós (336 km of cumulative census). 11 species of primates were found,
organized in different communities. Under a local perspective, it was verified that the
forest structure had a relation in abundance of some species and in richness and
composition of communities. Moreover, the fitofisionomias had shown that they can
be strong indicators of species density and biomass. Under a regional perspective,
the primates modeled showed a potential segregation in hábitats occupation between
species: guaribas, pregos and cheiros have higher probability of occurrence in
várzeas; e parauacus, sauins and cairaras in unflooded forests and igapós. Using the
predict maps of richness and following the principles of complementarities, it was
indicated three potential areas for the primate conservation in the focal area of the
RDS Piagaçu-Purus. |
