O presente estudo foi desenvolvido em três tipos de Floresta Atlântica (restinga, planície e encosta), na Ilha do Cardoso (Cananéia, São Paulo), durante três anos de observação. Os objetivos foram (1) comparar a fenologia reprodutiva do palmito nos três tipos florestais, e determinar quais os fatores ambientais que estariam influenciando os padrões encontrados; (2) estudar a oferta de frutos e consumo dos mesmos pelas aves frugívoras (em particular, duas espécies de aves Turdus flavipes e Turdus albicollis), e avaliar a relação da abundância destas aves com a oferta de frutos da comuniade arbórea e do palmito E. edulis. Nós avaliamos o consumo de frutos das aves e monitoramos a fenologia de frutificação do palmito e da comunidade arbórea nos três tipos florestais, comparando mensalmente com os dados de censo das aves, de agosto 2001 a julho 2004. Nós também estimamos no mesmo período à produção de frutos e sementes coletados no chão da floresta para o palmito e para a comunidade arbórea. A fenologia de frutificação do palmito foi anual e sazonal nos três tipos florestais, com as fases fruto imaturo e verde correlacionadas com o comprimento do dia, precipitação, e temperaturas, importantes fatores para o desenvolvimento dos frutos. A biomasa de frutos e sementes de palmito coletados no chão diferiram significativamene entre os tipos florestais, sendo maiores estas diferenças entre as florestas restinga e planície. Estas diferenças na produtividade foram relacionadas a densidade do palmito em cada área e a fertilidade de solo. Sobre a dieta das aves... / The palm Euterpe edulis is one of the most common species in Atlantic Brazilian Tropical Rainforest, and its fruits are an important part on the diet of several frugivorous birds' species. This study had been developed in three Atlantic Rainforest types (restinga, lowland and premontane), located in Cardoso Island (Cananéia, São Paulo state), during three years of study. The objectives were: (1) to compare the reproductive phenology of the palm in three forest types, determining which environmental factors could be affecting the patterns found; (2) to study the available number of fruits and the consume of them by the frugivorous birds (mainly, two birds species Turdus flavipes and Turdus albicollis), and to evaluate the abundance relation of these birds with the available number of fruits in the arboreal community and the palm E. edulis. The fruits consume of the birds had been evaluated, and the reproductive phenology of the palm as well the arboreal community in the three types of forest had been monitored. The bird's census data had been compared from August 2001 to July 2004. The palm and the arboreal community production of fruits and seeds taken on the ground of the forest had been estimated during the same period. The reproductive phenology of the palm was annual and seasonal in the three types of forest, having its unripe fruit phases co-related to the day length, precipitation, and temperatures which are important aspects to the fruit development. The palm fruit and seed biomass taken on the ground of the forest differs meaningfully within the forest types, such difference is bigger when considered the restinga and lowland forest. This productivity differences were related to the palm density in each area and the soil fertility. About the bird s diet, 600 records of feeding had been observed, and the families which got the biggest... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
