Brasil briofitos composición nido pájaro Birds’ nests are elaborate constructions that are built to provide a safe and secure environment for the eggs and hatchlings of birds to develop. Twigs and leaves represent common nesting materials in birds’ nests globally and with their beaks, they can carry materials, sometimes larger than the birds themselves, to construct their nests. In addition to twigs and leaves, birds also use various other materials less frequently, such as bryophytes, and in this study we examined the prevalence of bryophytes in birds’ nests in Brazil. We analyzed the nest composition of 21 birds’ nests from the Brazilian bryophyte collection at the Institute of Botany (SP Herbarium) and found that bryophytes were a widely used nesting material. The liverworts were dominant in terms of the species richness and the main structural components of the nests were mosses because they represent the main group of structurally bigger and constitutive bryophytes in the habitat in which the birds bred. Briofitos como material para la construcción de los nidos de pájaros en Brasil. Los nidos de aves son construcciones complejas, hechas para proporcionar un ambiente protegido y seguro para que los huevos y las crías de pájaros se desarrollen. Las ramas y hojas representan materiales comunes de anidación, transportados por las aves en sus picos. En algunas oportunidades los materiales transportados son mayores que las propias aves. Además de las ramas y hojas, las aves también usan otros materiales (aunque menos frecuentemente), como las briofitas. Así, en el presente estudio examinamos la prevalencia de bryophytes en los nidos de las aves en Brasil. Se analizó la composición de nidos de 21 nidos de aves de la colección brasileña de bryophyte en el Instituto de Botánica (Herbario SP) y se encontró que los briófitos eran un material de anidación ampliamente utilizado. Las hepáticas eran dominantes en términos de riqueza de especies y los principales componentes estructurales de los nidos eran musgos porque representan el grupo principal de briofitas estructuralmente mayores y constitutivas en el hábitat que se criaron las aves.
