Cerrado Biome, forest fragmentation and ecological relations with bird species

Cerrado occupies larger part of Central Brazil. This environment is distinguished for presenting savanna formations and great diversity of birds. The present work had for objective to raise theoretical information on some ecological aspects being involved the spalling in the associated Cerrado Biome to the distribution of birds. The fragmentation has generated lot of riots that affected the distribution, establishment and behavior of the wild birds. Fragmentation influences the bird distribution along the matrix. Bird forest groups demands more specific resources to cross these patches. On the other side the landscape configuration, its special structure and connectivity, could facilitate some bird groups distribution, as dispersive bird families. It is necessary to better understand, the importance of ecological corridors in the connection of deforested areas, as essential strategies for maintenance of the genic flow, the ecological dynamics and the maintenance of forest fragments species diversity.
