Four steps make up our framework: 1) biodiversity expert consults, 2) processing and organizing the information, 3) validating the information and 4) incorporating biodiversity data into landscape metrics. As a case study, we applied this framework in the Upper Paraguai basin in the limits of Mato Grosso do Sul state. This is a part of an ongoing effort to incorporate biodiversity in the Zoneamento Ecológico Econômico of Mato Grosso do Sul state. Based on systematically collected data from biodiversity expert questionnaires, ours results helped to fill species-level knowledge gaps concerning functional connectivity and matrix permeability at the landscape scale and provide clear target species parameters for the generation of conservation scenarios. This approach meets the need for spatially-explicit species based targets and recognize the importance for biodiversity for sustainable territorial planning.

As most observations of parrot geophagy come from clay licks, this observation prompted questions about the benefits of consuming termite nest soil rather than ground soil. We compared nutrient contents and chemical properties (organic matter, pH, cation exchange capacity, macro and micronutrients) from these two types of soil. Termite nest soil had higher concentrations of macronutrients and cation exchange capacity than ground soil, which may be related to mineral supplementation and binding of toxins present in fruits consumed by the Yellow-chevroned Parakeet

We provide information on little known grassland birds that occurs in open landscapes of the state of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. The study site is located in the municipality of Itaiópolis, in a locality known as "Campo Grande", were a small portion of natural grassland remained in a landscape dominated by pine plantation, agriculture and fragments of Parana Pine Forest. We recorded the Silver Teal Anas

Desta forma, apresentamos os primeiros registros e localidades de ocorrência de Phimosus infuscatus, Accipiter poliogaster, Porzana fl aviventer, Picumnus cirratus e Polioptila lactea em Santa Catarina.
