Highways are structures that cause major impacts and threats to biodiversity. We analysed the effects of a highway on abundance Rufous-capped Antthrush (Formicarius colma) in stretch intersects Sooretama Biological Reserve, located southeastern Brazil. Data were collected using point-count census method, with points forest edge near highway, pasture random interior area. Noise was recorded at each point all areas related antthrushes. Across habitat types, Antthrushes least abundant highway-edge, intermediate pasture-edge, highest forest. Within species 600 m away from but only 800 highway. The antthrushes inversely correlated noise, irrespective type (highway or pasture). These results suggest presence noise it produces important Antthrush, decreasing its possibly constraining movements across For regionally threatened bird, these could be significant for viability.
