Birds of the Campus of the Instituto Federal de Educação in Iporá, State of Goiás

Abstract

Few studies were developed with urban birds in the interior of the GoiásState. The aim of this paper was to analyse the bird community structure in “Instituto Federal Goiano”, municipalityof Iporá. Forty-eight samples were taken weekly from September 2010 to August 2011. The records were made along one trail in the perimeter of the area. We recorded a total of 73 species distributed in 35 families. Tyrannidae was the family with most richness (9.6% from total). The richness estimation based on Jacknife1 analysis was 88.6, demonstrating a significant estimation to the number of species. The distinction in occurrence categories shows a most number of occasional and probable resident species, but few resident species. The inspection in trophic categories shows a prevalence of the omnivore and insectivore species, as we normally waiting to the anthropized areas. The majority of species were classified in low sensitivity to human disturbance. This study shows the importance of the study area for maintenance of a bird community. We recommended other similar studies to increase knowledge of the bird communities in urbanized localities in the midwest of Goiás state.
