Biota Neotrop. 11(4): http://www.biotaneotropica.org.br/v11n4/en/abstract?article+bn03311042011 Abstract: We present data on species composition, relative abundance and estimated densities for leaf-litter anuran amphibians from an Atlantic Forest area within the Parque Estadual do Desengano, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, based on results of a short-term survey carried out during the winter at altitudes of 1000-1500 m. Three sampling methods were used: plot sampling, visual encounter surveys (VES; performed during the day, at the twilight, and at night), and pitfall traps. We recorded 13 species, with the direct-developer Ischnocnema parva (Girard, 1853) being the most abundant. Most frogs (ca. 90% of all individuals) sampled by VES were captured during the crepuscular and nocturnal periods. The estimated density of the local leaf-litter frog assemblage based on plot sampling was 13.2 ind.100 m–2, which is one of the highest values currently reported for Atlantic Rainforest areas. This is the first study analyzing the anuran fauna of the Parque Estadual do Desengano and adds to the knowledge of the fauna of the northern region of the state of Rio de Janeiro, which is still poorly studied. Keywords: amphibian, Atlantic Forest, density estimate, southeastern Brazil, survey.

Três métodos de amostragem foram utilizados: amostragem em parcelas, encontros visuais (realizados durante o dia, no crepúsculo e à noite) e armadilhas de queda. Foram registradas 13 espécies, com Ischnocnema parva (Girard, 1853), uma forma com desenvolvimento direto, sendo a mais abundante. A maioria dos anuros (ca. 90% de todos os indivíduos) amostrados pelo método de encontros visuais foi coletada durante os períodos crepuscular e noturno. A densidade estimada para anuros de serrapilheira foi de 13,2 ind.100 m–2, que é um dos valores mais altos atualmente registrados para áreas de Mata Atlântica. Este é o primeiro estudo que analisa a fauna de anuros do Parque Estadual do Desengano e contribui para o conhecimento da fauna da região norte do estado do Rio de Janeiro, que ainda é pouco estudada.

Introduction (Esbérard et al. 2010), and of anuran amphibians in a small fragment The Atlantic Forest biome is considered one of the world’s in Cambuci municipality (Almeida-Gomes et al. 2010). Most studies hotspots for conservation due to its high biological diversity, rates about anuran amphibian assemblages/guilds in forested areas of Rio of endemism for several groups of organisms, number of endangered de Janeiro have been conducted in the central and southern portions species, and strong deforestation pressure (Myers et al. 2000). The of the state (e.g. Rocha et al. 2000, 2001, 2007, Van Sluys et al. 2007, Atlantic Forest once extended for over 4000 km along the Brazilian Almeida-Gomes et al. 2008, Carvalho-e-Silva et al. 2008, Silva et al. coast, but after centuries of deforestation, it has been drastically 2008, Salles et al. 2009, Siqueira et al. 2009, 2011). Although the reduced to 11-16% of its original cover (Ribeiro et al. 2009). Most Parque Estadual do Desengano constitutes the largest rainforest of what remains of the Atlantic Forest is composed of relatively small remnant in the northern portion of Rio de Janeiro State (Rocha et al. fragments (Morellato & Haddad 2000, Ribeiro et al. 2009), and the 2003, Bergallo et al. 2009), there is no published information on the population growth and increasing urbanization within the biome’s anurofauna from that locality. Thus, in the present study, we present limits represents a constant threat. The state of Rio de Janeiro is one of preliminary data on some parameters of the anuran community from the most populous and densely urbanized in the country, nevertheless the Parque Estadual do Desengano, such as species composition, it still contains several forest remnants which together represent about richness, density and relative abundances. 20% of its original forest cover (Rocha et al. 2003, Bergallo et al. 2009). Preservation of such remnants is of vital importance, as the Material and Methods state harbors populations of several endangered animal species (Bergallo et al. 2000), and has a relatively high rate of endemism, 1. Study area particularly for terrestrial vertebrates (Rocha et al. 2003, 2004). A recent analysis concluded that knowledge about species The study was carried out within the Parque Estadual do distribution within the state of Rio de Janeiro is considerably Desengano (PED), a conservation unit encompassing parts of the heterogeneous (Bergallo et al. 2009). For example, in the northern municipalities of Santa Maria Madalena, São Fidélis and Campos dos region of the state, there are almost no data about the composition Goytacazes, in Rio de Janeiro State, southeastern Brazil (Figure 1). and distribution of the fauna, which hinders the adequate management Created in 1983, the PED (22,400 ha) represents the northernmost of the regional biodiversity (Rocha et al. 2003, Bergallo et al. 2009). large remnant of Atlantic Forest in the State, with large patches Data on the fauna from forested areas in that region include surveys of of little disturbed forests present mainly at higher elevations. The insects (e.g. Tonhasca Junior et al. 2002, Moço et al. 2005, Gonçalves park reaches 1760 m of altitude at its highest peak (the Pico do & Brandão 2008) and mammals (Vaz 1998, Modesto et al. 2008) at the Desengano). Annual temperature in the area varies between 12 and Parque Estadual do Desengano, of birds in Campos dos Goytacazes 30 °C (averaging 16.7 °C), and mean annual precipitation is 1471 mm municipality (Piratelli et al. 2005), of bats in Miracema municipality (Attias et al. 2009).

    ANA BEATRIZ CAROLLO ROCHA LIMA INFLUÊNCIA DA PREDAÇÃO E DE ASPECTOS GEOCLIMÁTICOS SOBRE A COLORAÇÃO DAS ESPÉCIES DE BRACHYCEPHALIDAE NA MATA ATLÂNTICA CAMPINAS, 2013 i ii vi RESUMO A família Brachycephalidae compreende dois gêneros e 52 espécies. O gênero Brachycephalus apresenta, em sua maioria, espécies tóxicas e de coloração conspícua, enquanto o gênero Ischnocnema possui muitas espécies polimórficas e crípticas quanto a sua coloração dorsal. No primeiro capítulo foi realizado um experimento com modelos de plasticina para testar se os padrões coloridos e brilhantes do gênero Brachycephalus estão relacionados com aposematismo. Além disso, foi testada a hipótese alóctone/autóctone, que prediz que os predadores vão responder mais fortemente a um padrão autóctone do que a um alóctone, dado que eles supostamente são ingênuos ao padrão introduzido e/ou experientes quanto ao padrão autóctone. O experimento foi realizado em duas localidades de Mata Atlântica no estado de São Paulo, Brasil, onde ocorrem tanto espécies camufladas quanto conspícuas de Brachycephalidae. Foram encontradas diferenças na intensidade de ataque entre os modelos crípticos e vistosos, suportando a hipótese de que a coloração conspícua de Brachycephalus é sinal de sua toxicidade. No segundo capítulo foi investigado como fatores ambientais e espaciais afetam os padrões de coloração de espécies do complexo de Ischnocnema guentheri-henselii e I. parva, comparando populações em diferentes latitudes depositadas no acervo de quatro coleções científicas. Os diferentes padrões foram plotados em mapas e, através de análises de agrupamento, foram detectadas diferenças na proporção da frequência dos padrões nas populações situadas no limite meridional da ocorrência das espécies. A segregação de populações abaixo da latitude -24º é coincidente com variações morfológicas observadas em outras espécies, ou mesmo com limites de distribuição de espécies irmãs de anuros.

  • Hybrids of Amphibian Chytrid Show High Virulence in Native Hosts S

Haddad4 & C. G. Becker1 Received: 4 April 2018 Hybridization of parasites can generate new genotypes with high virulence. The fungal amphibian Accepted: 6 June 2018 parasite Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) hybridizes in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, a biodiversity Published: xx xx xxxx hotspot where amphibian declines have been linked to Bd, but the virulence of hybrid genotypes in native hosts has never been tested. We compared the virulence (measured as host mortality and infection burden) of hybrid Bd genotypes to the parental lineages, the putatively hypovirulent lineage Bd-Brazil and the hypervirulent Global Pandemic Lineage (Bd-GPL), in a panel of native Brazilian hosts. In Brachycephalus ephippium, the hybrid exceeded the virulence (host mortality) of both parents, suggesting that novelty arising from hybridization of Bd is a conservation concern. In Ischnocnema parva, host mortality in the hybrid treatment was intermediate between the parent treatments, suggesting that this species is more vulnerable to the aggressive phenotypes associated with Bd-GPL. Dendropsophus minutus showed low overall mortality, but infection burdens were higher in frogs treated with hybrid and Bd-GPL genotypes than with Bd-Brazil genotypes. Our experiment suggests that Bd hybrids have the potential to increase disease risk in native hosts. Continued surveillance is needed to track potential spread of hybrid genotypes and detect future genomic shifts in this dynamic disease system. Te host-parasite dynamic is a classic example of an evolutionary arms race; hosts face pressure to evolve defenses against parasites, while parasites face pressure to overcome host defenses1,2.

  • Anurans from the Mountain Chain Serra Do Mar: a Critical Area for Amphibian Conservation in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil
    Herpetology Notes, volume 10: 547-560 (2017) (published online on 16 October 2017) Anurans from the mountain chain Serra do Mar: a critical area for amphibian conservation in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil Felipe Siqueira Campos1, 2,* and Ricardo Lourenço-de-Moraes3 Abstract. We present an anuran inventory of the mountain region of the Serra do Mar, Brazil, located in the Atlantic Forest biome. We conducted a fieldwork comprising the major and best well-preserved Atlantic Forest remnants from Brazil, using acoustic and visual nocturnal/diurnal assessments. In total, we recorded 99 anuran species, of which about 70% are endemic to the Atlantic Forest and represent around 20% of all amphibian species described for this biome. The high levels of endemism, the distribution patters and the conservation status of the anuran species turn the mountains of the Serra do Mar into a key conservation region for amphibians within the Atlantic Forest hotspot. Keywords. Amphibia, Atlantic Forest, species inventory, species distribution, conservation. Introduction recognized amphibian species and several more species that still need to be described (Silva and Casteleti, 2003; The Atlantic Forest biome represents one of the Haddad et al., 2013). five most important biodiversity hotspots on Earth The Serra do Mar is a mountain chain that extends (Mittermeier et al., 2011). Originally, it covered around for more than 1,000 km (Almeida and Carneiro, 1998), 1,500,000 km2 of which only about 12% (194,524 km2) stretching from the south of the Espírito Santo state remains in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina (Ribeiro to the North of the Rio Grande do Sul state (Rizzini, et al., 2009), corresponding to about 100,000 km2 of 1979; Olson et al., 2001).

Less attention has been given to physiological responses of hosts where enzootic infections of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) do not cause apparent population declines in the wild. Here, we experimentally tested whether an enzootic strain of Bd causes significant mortality and alters host water balance (evaporative water loss, EWL; skin resistance, Rs; and water uptake, WU) in individuals of 3 Brazilian amphibian species (Dendropso- phus minutus, n = 19; Ischnocnema parva, n = 17; Brachycephalus pitanga, n = 15). Infections with enzootic Bd caused no significant mortality, but we found an increase in Rs in 1 host species con- comitant with a reduction in EWL. These results suggest that enzootic Bd infections can indeed cause sub-lethal effects that could lead to reduction of host fitness in Brazilian frogs and that these effects vary among species.
