As mudanças climáticas globais têm sido frequentemente apontadas como principal impacto futuro nas populações animais, afetando suas taxas de crescimento e elevando seu risco de extinção. Contudo, ainda não se sabe como as populações de pequenos vertebrados tetrápodes (anfíbios, répteis e pequenos mamíferos) de ecossistemas tropicais sujeitos ao es...
The construction of highways is responsible for access to previously protected areas, resulting in changes in landscape and dynamics of the animal populations that live in these areas. These enterprises are the major responsible for the mortality of wild animals, surpassing hunting and even the trafficking of animals. The objective of this study wa...
In the present study we monitored a population of Nyctimantis brunoi, a species commonly found in restingas of southeastern Brazil. Field activities were carried out in the Parque Nacional da Restinga de Jurubatiba (PNRJ), a protected area located in the northern portion of the state of Rio de Janeiro. Specimens were sampled through a complete spec...
Although we celebrate the centennial of Brachycephalus garbeanus’ discovery, little progress has been done on understanding this species’ biology apart from a few morphological and ecological studies, which includes its redescription based on three specimens from the type-series, microhabitat use, sexual dimorphism in body size, and feeding habits....
Diet is one of the most important dimensions of the ecological niche. Pseudopaludicola genus comprises 25 species of which four have their diet studied. In this study, we quantify the diet of the recently described Pseudopaludicola restinga, which is found in sandy coastal environments of southeastern Brazil. We obtained a sample of 137 individuals...
We provide an inventory checklist of the amphibians from Parque Nacional da Restinga de Jurubatiba (PNRJ), a sandy coastal environment in southeastern Brazil. As a result of three years of surveys, from August 2013 to June 2016, a total of 36 amphibians species were recorded - one Gymnophiona (Typhlonectidae) and 35 species of five anuran families:...
The cranium, postcranium, and osteological variation of Physalaemus nattereri (Steindachner) are described. The main sources of variation involve the degree of mineralization of the nasal capsule and the lengths of dermal skull bones (e.g., vomer, sphenethmoid, and neopalatine). Osteologically, P. nattereri differs from its congeners by the anterio...
O objetivo geral das Cartas SAO é fornecer, de maneira rápida e objetiva, as informações preliminares para o planejamento de contingência e das ações de resposta a incidentes de poluição por óleo. Isto é feito com base na identificação da sensibilidade dos ecossistemas costeiros e marinhos, de seus recursos biológicos e das atividades socioeconômic...
This study reports on a new population of Physalaemus moreirae and compares its advertisement call to other species of the P. signifer group. It is discussed Physalaemus moreirae's International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List (IUCN) conservation status based on the fact that the new population site is found within a protected area and th...
The biological diversity and ecological processes in Cerrado biome are still poorly understood. Herein we present information about anuran species of the municipality of Barro Alto, state of Goiás (Central Brazil). Five water bodies were sampled between the years 2007 and 2010 (October-March), three of them associated with forested area and two wit...
Forty-three specimens representing 11 species of lizards (Ameiva ameiva, Anolis chrysolepis brasiliensis, Cnemidophorus cf. parecis, Hemidactylus mabouia, Mabuya dorsivittata, Mabuya nigropunctata, Ophiodes striatus, Philautus acutirostris, Tropidurus itambere, Tropidurus oreadicus, and Tupinambis merianae) collected in 6 localities of the Cerrado...
A new species of the Scinax ruber clade from the Brazilian Cerrado Domain similar to Scinax fuscomarginatus, S. parkeri, S. trilineatus and S. wandae is described. It is characterized by small snout-vent lenght, body slender, head approximately as long as wide and slightly wider than body, subovoid snout in dorsal view, protruding snout in lateral...
