To obtain accurate richness estimates, occupancy modeling is a useful tool because it can encompass variables at multi-scales and considers imperfect detection. We estimated the relative bird richness in a protected area in the Atlantic Forest to understand habitat requirements of a species assemblage as a function of environmental factors. Our study spanned dry and rainy seasons and covered four habitats (seasonal semideciduous forest, restinga, a planted experimental forest, and patch edge) across 42 sampling sites. Using point counts, we recorded all bird species during three visits at each site. We estimated species richness across temporal and spatial scales using community occupancy modeling. We recorded 86 species where four were threatened: the Pectoral Antwren (Herpsilochmus pectoralis), the White-collared Kite (Leptodon forbesi), the Rusty-margined Guan (Penelope superciliaris), and the Long-tailed Woodnymph (Thalurania watertonii). Relative species richness in the rainy season (ψ = 0.31–0.66) was lower compared to the dry season (ψ = 0.37–0.76). Open habitats had a higher richness (ψ of patch edge = 0.66 and 0.76, ψ of restinga = 0.51 and 0.62) than seasonal semideciduous forest (ψ = 0.31 and 0.37) and planted experimental forest (ψ = 0.36 and 0.40). Rates of species gain varied among habitats (γ = 0.15–0.59), unlike species loss, which did not vary (ε = 0.15). Richness at each site was negatively affected by pond distance, tree cover, and diameter of tree trunks. The low richness observed in seasonal semideciduous forest is probably a reflection of negative impacts on the area, such as the effects of forest fragmentation. We also highlight that occupancy modeling results in reliable estimates for ecological inferences, aiding in understanding patterns that can be evaluated and used in habitats and community conservation strategiesArticle Macrobrachium amazonicum (Decapoda, Palaemonidae): geographic distribution, new occurrences and biogeographic insights(Aquatic Biology, 2025-08-28) Freire, Fúlvio Aurélio Morais; Rodrigues, Lidiana de Sousa; Silva, Thiago Andrade; Muniz, José Iago; Pinheiro, Allysson Pontes; Moraes, Sávio Arcanjo Santos Nascimento de; Alencar, Carlos Eduardo Rocha Duarte; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1580-0222; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4231-4326; https://orcid.org/0009-0007-2622-4431; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2760-5272; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4062-3520; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1565-6371; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4045-9011; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4231-4326Article Ontogenetic characterization of the secondary sexual characters of Penaeus schmitti Burkenroad, 1936 and Penaeus vannamei Boone, 1931 (Decapoda: Penaeidae)(Zoologischer Anzeiger, 2025-05) Freire, Fúlvio Aurélio de; Moraes, Alex Barbosa de; Moraes, Daniele Cosme Soares de; Pinheiro, Allyson Pontes; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1580-0222; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3407-4641; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0608-9459; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1565-6371Article Ecological diversity and distribution of Penaeoidea shrimps near islands with distinct environmental characteristics on the Northern Coast of São Paulo, Brazil(Hydrobiologia, 2025-03-25) Freire, Fúlvio Aurélio de Morais; Marques, Alexandre de Oliveira; Araújo, Paulo Victor do Nascimento; Alencar, Carlos Eduardo Rocha Duarte; Fransozo, Vivian; Teixeira, Gustavo Monteiro; Costa, Rogério Caetano da; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1580-0222; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0625-0946; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5556-5998; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9378-8287; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1342-7340; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8982-2673; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4231-4326Article Macrobrachium amazonicum (Decapoda, Palaemonidae): geographic distribution, new occurrences and biogeographic insights(Aquatic Biology, 2025-08-28) Freire, Fúlvio Aurélio Morais; Rodrigues, Lidiana de Sousa; Silva, Thiago Andrade; Muniz, José Iago; Pinheiro, Allysson Pontes; Moraes, Sávio Arcanjo Santos Nascimento de; Alencar, Carlos Eduardo Rocha Duarte; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1580-0222; https://orcid.org/0009-0007-2622-4431; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2760-5272; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4062-3520; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4231-4326Article Long-term vertebrate roadkill monitoring in Central Amazon: Vehicle traffic effect and hotspot inconstancy over time(Journal of Environmental Management, 2025) Venticinque, Eduardo; Medeiros, Aline Souza de Menezes; Cornelius, Cintia; Costa, Edson Rodrigues; Atroari, Paruwe Mario; Waimiri, Sawa Aldo; Atroari, Ewepe Marcelo; Waimiri, Tuwadja Joanico; Nascimento, Antônio Carlos Andrade do; Lima, Denice Silva; Gordo, Marcelo; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4248-8078; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6690-7655; https://orcid.org/0009-0005-8777-5179; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3455-9107; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1474-4206; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5585-0526; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5230-9091Article Variation in mammal ecological patterns in response to seasonality in a Brazilian tropical dry forest(Mammalia, 2025) Venticinque, Eduardo Martins; Falcão, Maria Luísa; Marinho, Paulo Henrique; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7205-3089; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3455-9107Article Reproductive patterns of cave-roosting bat assemblages in a Caatinga dry forest in Northeastern Brazil(Acta Chiropterologica, 2025) Venticinque, Eduardo Martins; Vargas-Mena, Juan Carlos; Cordero-Schmidt, Eugenia; Rodriguez-Herrera, Bernal; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3593-4674; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2719-0601; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8168-2442; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3455-9107Article Landscape and microhabitat structure dictate lizard diversity in semiarid in Caatinga(Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2025) Garda, Adrian Antônio; Oliveira, Alan Filipe de Souza; Lion, Marília Bruzzi; VentiIcinque, Eduardo Martins; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3680-5463; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3455-9107; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1178-1207
