The Caatinga biome involves a dynamic system that has suffered significant loss of native cover, resulting in a mosaic of regenerating areas. This study aimed to describe the habitat selection and spatial patterns of the Furnariidae family in a regenerating Caatinga area in Paraíba, Brazil. Data collection was carried out monthly from September 2022 to September 2023, using the Fixed-Radius Point Counts method along transects representing distinct phytophysiognomies. Five species were recorded: Pseudoseisura cristata, Furnarius leucopus, Furnarius figulus, Synallaxis frontalis, and Certhiaxis cinnamomeus. We analyzed macro- and micro-habitat use, home ranges using Minimum Convex Polygon (MPC), habitat use density (Kernel 95%), and spatial overlap (UDOI). The results indicated a predominance of records in open arboreal caatinga and water bodies, highlighting the crucial role of aquatic environments as thermal refuges and foraging sites during the dry season. Furnarius leucopus was the most frequent species, intensively exploiting transition and secondary succession zones, while Pseudoseisura cristata exhibited high plasticity but avoided anthropogenic open fields. Spatial analysis revealed that, despite sharing macro-habitats, the species showed low overlap between pairs, suggesting fine-scale spatial segregation to minimize interspecific competition. We conclude that vegetation heterogeneity and the maintenance of water resources are fundamental factors for the coexistence and persistence of these insectivorous birds in regenerating dry forests.
