RESUMO:

Birds can be effective indicators of ecological conditions in wetlands, because constitute  
one of the most diverse biological groups, have high mobility, and provide fundamental  
ecological functions that guarantee the maintenance of ecosystem support and regulation  
services. In this research, we evaluated the taxonomic and functional diversity of birds
through distinct approaches, using the group as a potential ecological indicator to  
contribute to conservation actions and environmental planning in the Brazilian Pantanal  
floodplain. For this, we structured the document into four chapters, corresponding to two  
published articles, one submitted and one in preparation. The first chapter is an overview
of scientific knowledge about birds in the Pantanal based on publications from the last 30  
years, which made it possible to direct and substantiate future research. In the second  
chapter, we carry out an inventory and consolidate a list of bird species that occur in a  
protected area of the Pantanal which is recognized as a wetland of international  
importance, which can contribute to the knowledge of the distribution and occurrence of  
birds in this floodplain. In the third chapter, we researched how the richness, abundance  
and functional structure of birds with different degrees of wetlands dependence are  
influenced by the flood pulse dynamics of the Pantanal. We expected to find different  
ecological responses for each birds group in relation to hydrological cycle. In the fourth  
chapter, we propose to investigate whether the modification of habitats across the  
hydrological cycles affects the taxonomic and functional diversity of birds, in order to  
access environmental changes in a tropical floodplain. We expect to contribute to the  
knowledge of the taxonomic and functional diversity of birds in floodplains, as well as  
towards advances for wetlands conservation
