SURVEY OF FAUNA SPECIES
Discover the fauna species of the Betary Reserve, in Iporanga – SP
Habitat monitoring
IPBio studies ponds located on the reserve and the aquatic life that inhabit them. These ponds have varying characteristics such as ponds with native plants compared to exotic species and man-made ponds compared to natural ponds. Ponds are considered indicators and the wildlife that live in them, such as water bugs or macroinvertebrates, are considered bio-indicators of the general health of the water and the surrounding forest.
birds
192
Number of species (until Jun/19)
IPBio partnered with a bird release center called FreeWildlifeBrazil Celine which is also located on the Betary Reserve.
As the environmental authorities will only send a bird to a release center in an area where the animal has been documented in nature, we conduct regular bird inventories in order to increase our local species list. In addition, understanding activity patterns of birds can inform and Improve the process of release.

Mammals
28
Number of species (until Jun/19)
IPBio conducts mammal inventories using the OBBIO – Biodiversity Observatory system (click here to find out) composed of fixed cameras and Bushnell camera traps. This not only allows us to inventory the species of mammals that occur in the reserve, but also to understand their behavior and distribution.

Fishes
672
Number of species (until Jun/19)
Fish are the least known group of vertebrates in the Atlantic Forest, due to the lack of taxonomic and systematic information and also due to the low number of field studies that are carried out. IPBio seeks to carry out periodic inventory campaigns for these animals, with the aim of understanding the preferred habitats of each species, as well as identifying reproduction periods.

reptiles

IPBio also uses traps to collect reptiles, in addition to occasional encounters that occur during field activities carried out by the institute's research team.

amphibians
32
Number of species (until Jun/19)
Amphibians are currently undergoing a process of mass extinction. Long-term research is essential to assess population decline, direct conservation strategies and management plans for these species.
Pitfalls
The IPBio uses a method in which buckets are used buried in the ground, intercepted by a guide screen that directs the animals to the buckets. IPBio researchers collect these animals, identify them and release them back into nature.
Active search
As species vocalize during the breeding season, the IPBio also actively searches for amphibians in the reserve. Biologists can also identify species through their vocalization.

Invertebrates
To date, IPBio has not systematically collected invertebrate groups. However, it continuously produces photos and videos of species found in various terrestrial and aquatic environments, determining their identification at family and gender levels, and may reach the species in cases where reliable references exist.
No species listings were produced.
Invertebrate diversity can be viewed for different groups through the image bank. If you know the scientific name of any unregistered species (or that is misidentified), please help us by informing us (by clicking here).
Your collaboration will be most welcome.
