Primates in three protected areas in the middle Solimões basin, Brazilian Amazon / Primatas em três unidades de conservação na bacia do médio Rio Solimões, amazônia brasileira

The Amazon Rainforest is an example of a challenging scenario for the species inventories as a baseline for the Conservation actions. New Primate species are described in this Biome every year. However, the distribution and taxonomy of several taxa remain controversial, hampering the efforts for its conservation. In this sense, the species inventory is one of the essential points to consolidate the management plans in Protected Areas. Here we report the Primates inventories Protected Areas in the middle Solimoes River, Amazon. We surveyed two PAs of Sustainable Use, Jutai Extractivist Reserve (RESEX Jutai) and Auati-Parana Extractivist Reserve (RESEX Auati-Parana), and a Strict Protection, Rio Jutai Ecological Station (ESEC – Rio Jutai). We updated the occurrence and distribution of the Primates taxa contributing to the species list of management plans for these areas. This project is a partnership between Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) and Mamiraua Institute for Sustainable Development (IDSM) (Termo de Reciprocidade 05/2012). In 2014 and 2015, we collected data in the ESEC Jutai-Solimoes and RESEX Rio Jutai during 35 days in three expeditions. We collected data during 24 days in the RESEX Auati-Parana in April 2015, in the wet season. We used rapid survey methods for mammals inventories including surveys along existing trails, specimens collection, and semi-structured interviews with local inhabitants. The material collected was stored in the Mammal Collection of Mamiraua Institute (SISBIO 42111-1; 42111-2; 42111-3). The three PAs represents a total of 22 Primates species and subspecies from 14 genera. The ESEC Jutai-Solimoes and RESEX Rio Jutai has, respectively, 11 and 13 primate taxa confirmed. The RESEX Auati-Parana has 9 Primate taxa confirmed. The records presented here are an important start point to understanding the Primate diversity in PAs of middle Solimoes. RESUMO O inventario de especies e um dos pontos essenciais para consolidar os planos de manejo em areas protegidas. Neste trabalho, apresentamos o resultado dos inventarios de primatas em areas protegidas (APs) no medio rio Solimoes, Amazonas. Nos amostramos duas APs de uso sustentavel – a Reserva Extrativista Rio Jutai (RESEX Rio Jutai) e a Reserva Extrativista Auati-Parana (RESEX Auati-Parana) – e uma estacao ecologica (ESEC Jutai-Solimoes). Atualizamos a ocorrencia e distribuicao de primatas nessas areas contribuindo para a lista de especies dos planos de gestao. Em 2014 e 2015, coletamos dados na ESEC Jutai-Solimoes e RESEX Rio Jutai durante 35 dias em tres expedicoes. Foram coletados dados durante 24 dias na RESEX Auati-Parana em abril de 2015, na estacao chuvosa. Os levantamentos foram realizados em trilhas previamente existentes, sendo a amostragem nas florestas alagadas realizada com canoas. Os registros apresentados aqui foram baseados em avistamentos ou na coleta de especimes, quando necessaria. O material coletado foi depositado no Acervo de Mamiferos do Instituto de Desenvolvimento Sustentavel Mamiraua. Registrou-se um total de 22 especies e subespecies pertencentes a 14 generos nas tres APs. A ESEC Jutai-Solimoes e a RESEX Rio Jutai possuem, respectivamente, 11 e 13 taxons confirmados, enquanto a RESEX Auati-Parana possui sete taxons. Os registros aqui apresentados sao um ponto de partida importante para o entendimento da diversidade de primatas em APs do medio Solimoes.
