Estimating species vulnerability to global changes and understanding what drives their
vulnerability has become an important task in the last decades. Here, we evaluated the …

We report the nesting biology of birds in the Cerrado (savanna, both natural and anthropic)
of the Federal District of central Brazil, with emphasis on nests, eggs, nesting periods, brood …

Here we present a brief review on how the loss of fauna can cause a concomitant loss in
plant diversity in the state of Espírito Santo, focusing on the context of current habitat loss …

Abstract The recently described Tropeiro Seedeater, Sporophila beltoni, is a rare long-
distance austral migrant songbird that breeds in upland grasslands of southern Brazil. No …

Latitudinal differences in territorial behavior are considered to have great influence on
differences in life-history strategies of Nearctic and Neotropical birds. Most territorial …

In cooperatively breeding birds, breeders can adjust their parental care investment without
affecting nestling survival probability and save energy to invest in other activities, such as …

Avian brood parasitism can have severely detrimental effects on a host's reproductive
success and cause population declines. The Long-tailed Shrike (Lanius schach) is one of …

Clutch-size is thought to be the result of a trade-off between current reproductive effort,
which may be constrained by current food supply, and current and future reproductive …

Nest predation is a determinant of reproductive success of tropical birds and its effects can
vary in space, time and due to intrinsic factors of the species. In this study, we conducted a …

The predator search image hypothesis predicts that predators will focus on prey that are
abundant and with which they have had success. However, the predator dilution effect …
