Novos registros da avifauna relacionada a áreas úmidas em Itajaí/SC, Sul do Brasil

This study presents a compilation of records of the occurrence of Cairina moschata (Linnaeus, 1758), Callonetta leucophrys (Vieillot, 1816) and Arundinicola leucocephala (Linnaeus, 1764) in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina (SC), and reports new records of these species associated with wetlands, in the municipality of Itajaí/SC. To survey the records of the three species, a bibliographic review was carried out using the following search engines: Google Scholar, EBSCO and the CAPES Periodicals Portal. Searches were also carried out in the government digital database Brazilian Biodiversity Information System – SiBBR and the non-government digital databases WikiAves and Global Biodiversity Information Facility – GBIF. The new records for the municipality of Itajaí/SC were obtained in 2023, in field activities carried out at the Experimental Station of the Agricultural Research and Rural Extension Company of Santa Catarina (Estação Experimental da Empresa de Pesquisa Agropecuária e Extensão Rural de Santa Catarina EEI-EPAGRI). As a result of the surveys carried out, we found records of C. moschata in 80 municipalities, C. leucophrys in 36 municipalities and A. leucocephala in 32 municipalities of Santa Catarina state. Knowledge of Santa Catarina's avifaunal biodiversity still presents several gap. Therefore, increased sampling efforts are recommended, in the different environments of the state, where in rural, urban or peri-urban areas.
