EFEITOS DAS MUDANÇAS CLIMÁTICAS NA INTERAÇÃO DO LOBO-GUARÁ E LOBEIRA E SUAS RESPECTIVAS IMPORTÂNCIAS NO BIOMA CERRADO

Abstract

Species cannot live without interacting with each other. Interspecific interactions play a fundamental role in the regulation, growth and abundance in a given population. Biotic interactions are one of the determining factors for defining ecological processes at local, regional and macroecological scales mediating biological responses to environmental changes. Climate change certainly has the potential to disrupt interactions between species. Consequently, the loss of these interactions can influence the entire structure and stability of communities, further increasing the process of degeneration of disturbed landscapes and species extinction. Within conservation biogeography, one of the main tools for species conservation comprises the use of species distribution models (MDE). The MDEs are a useful tool in the elaboration of strategies for the conservation and management of wild fauna. The Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus being a nocturnal, crepuscular, solitary, elusive, omnivorous canid and the largest canid in South America with 1,504 mm in total length and 25 kg of weight, its diet is based on small and medium mammals and fruits, consuming mainly rodents and the wolf plant, Solanum lycocarpum (Solanaceae). are hard and thorny and the fruits have a globular shape, slightly flattened, measuring from 8 to 12 cm in diameter. Thus, this work aimed to report the importance of the interaction between these two species, analyze the current and possible future of the species distribution. maned wolf and wolf in South America, based on the greenhouse gas emission relationship. olves within the environment and their relationship with conservation
