| Abstract | The Pedra Branca Forest is in a highly urbanised region of the central portion of Rio de
Janeiro City and comprises the largest urban forest in the world (> 12,000 ha). The local
flora and fauna are protected by three conservation units and the Estação Biológica
Fiocruz Mata Atlântica (EFMA), which comprises 462 hectares on the east side of the
remnant. The local biodiversity is still little known compared to other Atlantic Forest
remnants from the Rio de Janeiro State. Here, we provide results of a survey of mediumand
large-sized terrestrial mammals from the EFMA. In addition, we analysed the
distribution of this fauna along three habitat types defined as Peridomicile, Transitional Forest and Forest Core. Sampling was performed from 2017 to 2020 and comprised a
camera-trap survey, interviews with residents and local workers and occasional records.
Results include occurrence records for 16 autochthonous and one allochthonous (Callithrix
sp.) wild mammals, which are distributed into 14 families and seven orders, in addition to
the presence of free-ranging domestic dogs and cats. Four species are in some category
of threat of extinction at national or global levels. Amongst them, Leontopithecus rosalia
(first record for the Rio de Janeiro City in more than a century) and Leopardus guttulus are
classified as Vulnerable by IUCN. Most wild native species were registered in the three
habitat types, but with differences in the frequency of records. Our results indicate that the
presence of domestic dogs and cats influenced the species composition in each area, with
Nasua nasua, Dasyprocta leporina and Didelphis aurita less frequent in places where
domestic dogs and cats are more frequent. This is the first systematic effort to understand
the occurrence and distribution of mid- and large-sized mammals in the Pedra Branca
Forest. | en_US |
