          Abstract

          A presente comunicação reporta observações de perdiz (Rhynchotus rufescens) efetuadas no interior da área florestada da Reserva Natural da Vale (RNV). A Reserva apresenta grande extensão (21.787 ha) e é coberta predominantemente por florestas primárias. Seis registros foram obtidos no período de 2005 a 2007, em locais distantes entre 70 e 5.500 m da borda florestal mais próxima, indicando que esta espécie de Cerrado está utilizando partes internas e florestadas da Reserva. Observações anteriores e relatos de outros autores já haviam confirmado a presença da perdiz em áreas abertas adjacentes à RNV e à Reserva Biológica de Sooretama, que é contígua à anterior, mas esta é a primeira vez em que a presença desta ave campestre é relatada para o interior da floresta. Os impactos potenciais que a entrada da perdiz representa para as espécies nativas e florestais de tinamídeos, como a contaminação por parasitas e patógenos e a introdução de capim exótico, são brevemente discutidos.

          Translated abstract

          The present communication reports records of the tinamou (Rhynchotus rufescens) made in the interior of the forested area of Reserva Natural Vale (RNV). This reserve has a large area (21,787 ha) and is covered predominantly by primary forests. Six tinamou sightings were obtained between 2005 and 2007 in places located within the forest from 70 to 5,500 m of distance to the nearest forest edge, indicating that this Cerrado-dwelling tinamou is using the forested interior of the reserve. Previous observations and reports from other authors had already confirmed the presence of this bird in open areas adjacent to the RNV and Sooretama Biological Reserve, which is contiguous to the former, however this is the first time this tinamou is observed within the forest. The potential impacts the entrance of this bird represents to other tinamou species, like contamination with parasites and pathogens and the introduction of exotic grass species, are briefly discussed.

          Edge effects in fragmented forests: implications for conservation.

          C Murcia (1995)
          Edges are presumed to have deleterious consequences for the organisms that remain in forest fragments. However, there is substantial discrepancy among recent studies about the existence and intensity of edge effects. Most studies have focused on seeking simplistic and static patterns. Very few have tested mechanistic hypotheses or explored the factors that modulate edge effects. Consequently,studies are very site-specifci and their results cannot be generalized to produce a universal theory of edges. Although estimates of the intensity and impact of edge effects in fragmented forests are urgently required, little can be done to ameliorate edge effects unless their mechanics are better understood.
