SUMMARY:

The groups that will be worked on in this study are medium and large mammals, as well as birds and reptiles that are present in the farm's reservoir. The Manoa farm, located in Cujubim - RO, is a place of great importance for biodiversity conservation, having a vast biodiversity, where there are species that are indicators of intact environments, besides being a major focus for biodiversity conservation. This work aims to characterize the seasonal and circadian temporal patterns of use of different resources (water and soil) of different species of medium and large terrestrial vertebrates that use an area of the salt shaker in the Amazon rainforest of Rondônia. The wetland is a place where medium and large vertebrate species carry out what is called geophagy. The wetland area is of paramount importance for the species that frequent it, because it has essential micro and macronutrients for mammals and birds, and its ingestion can serve both to supplement food and to reduce/cut the effect of secondary compounds (for herbivores and omnivores, for example). For monitoring, 16 camera traps will be placed in order to record and enable the taxonomic identification of species that visit the area and their habits, to collect soil and water samples from the beginning, middle, and end of the reservoir, as well as from the Preto River (upstream, downstream, and in front of the reservoir), in order to identify which macros and micronutrients are present in these resources. Sampling will occur over a seven-month period, beginning in June 2022 to December 2022. The parameters analyzed in the area will be the pH of the water and the presence of the macros and micronutrients: Sodium, Iron, Magnesium, Aluminum, Calcium, Phosphorus, Boron and Copper. The analysis will be carried out in the Environmental Biogeochemistry Laboratory of UNIR using the Optical Emission Spectrometry with Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) method. For the soil, the same nutrients will be analyzed through the acid digestion method in the same laboratory. It is expected with this work to find out if there are differences in the specific composition of the community of medium and large terrestrial vertebrates over the sampling period and in the use of different resources in the reservoir as a result of seasonality, circadian cycle and moon phases.
