Birds contribute to many kinds of environmental services, such as predation on arthropods, which results in their population control, and reduced folivory and higher growth rates of plants. In addition, insectivorous birds are sensitive to environmental disturbances, requiring protected areas for conservation and being indicators of environmental quality. In this research, we sampled the insectivorous birds and tested whether they affect the abundance of arthropods and folivory rates. We compared three areas of different successional stages and management, and seasonality in a protected area of Atlantic Forest in southeastern Brazil. The areas selected were anthropic area (“sede”), early and advanced stages of succession. We carried out sa...
