| When Foster lost his funding, he left Matola with custody of two jaguars, a puma, an anteater, a tayra, three coatimundis, five curassows, and a cage of parrots. |
| Guans and perhaps chachalacas may be more arboreal than curassows. |
| The curassows comprise 14 species of sedentary Neotropical birds classified in four genera in the family Cracidae. |
| This reserve, together with the adjacent Reserva Biologica de Sooretama, represents the largest area for survival of Red-billed Curassows in Espirito Santo State. |
| A study group of relatively sedentary birds, such as the curassows, should provide some insight on how important dispersal is to the evolutionary history of less-mobile birds. |
| The barriers that currently separate the species, combined with the essentially nonmigratory behavior of curassows, hint strongly at a primary role for vicariance. |
