    Las aves rapaces constituyen un grupo potencialmente sensible a la pérdida y la fragmentación de su ambiente natural debido a sus requerimientos de hábitat extensos y a su baja densidad poblacional. Sin embargo, las rapaces parecen responder de modo diferente a la pérdida del hábitat en ecosistemas templados (donde se observan pocos efectos) y en selvas tropicales y subtropicales (con efectos más marcados). El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la respuesta de un grupo de aves rapaces diurnas a la pérdida y la fragmentación de la Selva Paranaense.

    Mangroves, commonly found along sheltered coastlines in the tropics and subropics, fulfil important socio-economic and envioronmental functions: providing wood and non-wood forest products, protecting shores against wind, waves and water currents; conserving biological diversity; protecting coral reefs, sea-grass beds and shipping lanes against siltation; and providing habitat, spawning grounds and nutrients for a variety of fish and shellfish, including many commercial species.
