OCCURRENCE AND POTENTIAL IMPACT OF INVASIVE MARMOSETS (Callithrix spp., CALLITRICHIDAE, MAMMALIA) IN THE TIJUCA FOREST, BRAZILIAN ATLANTIC FOREST.
- Abstract
The article titled "OCCURRENCE AND POTENTIAL IMPACT OF INVASIVE MARMOSETS (Callithrix spp., CALLITRICHIDAE, MAMMALIA) IN THE TIJUCA FOREST, BRAZILIAN ATLANTIC FOREST" analyzes the presence and potential impact of invasive marmosets in the Tijuca Forest, in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Invasive marmosets are a cause for concern due to their possible negative impact on biodiversity, especially on bird fauna. However, existing studies on marmoset predation and competition with native species are scarce. The study includes a literature review and field studies in the Tijuca Forest, where environmental variables were measured and marmoset detections, as well as estimates of bird abundance, diversity, and vocalizations, were conducted. The results suggest that invasive marmosets do not represent a relevant threat to bird fauna at a regional scale, but a negative impact is observed at a local level that requires further research to understand the mechanisms involved.
