Distribution Extension of Scinax Constrictus Lima, Bastos & Giaretta, 2004 (Amphibia, Hylidae): New State Record in the Braz Herpetology Notes, volume 7: 745-746 (2014) (published online on 21 December 2014) Distribution extension of Scinax constrictus Lima, Bastos & Giaretta, 2004 (Amphibia, Hylidae): new state record in the Brazilian Cerrado Matheus de Oliveira Neves¹,*, Elvis Almeida Pereira¹, Leonardo Chaves Ferreira Rocha², Jacqueline Bonfim Vasques³ and Patrícia da Silva Santos¹ The genus Scinax Wagler, 1930 includes 112 species new state record for Scinax constrictus and provide a and is the second most diverse within the family Hylidae map of the currently known geographical distribution (Frost, 2014). Due to the large number of species, of the species. morphological similarity between them and the scarcity During fieldwork on 1th July 2014, a single male of S. of larval and acoustic data, the taxonomy of the genus constrictus was found calling at 9:00 pm (Figure 1) in is complicated (Pombal-Júnior et al., 1995). Using marginal shrub vegetation in a region associated with morphological and molecular data, Faivovich (2002) the Paranaíba river, municipally of Limeira do Oeste, divided the genus into two clades: S. catharinae and state of Minas Gerais (19°16’31.12”S 50°43’40.72”W, S. ruber clades. Subsequently, Faivovich et al. (2005) WGS84, 382 m altitude). The voucher specimen is reorganized the ruber clade into two groups, the S. deposited in the Coleção Herpetológica do Museu de rostratus and S. uruguayus groups.

Specific identification was representative of the Scinax rostratus group, was performed comparing the holotype (MNRJ 31205) described from specimens collected in the municipality and paratopotypes (MNRJ 31206-31225) deposited of Palmeiras, state of Goiás, and is distributed in the at the Coleção Herpetológica do Museu Nacional, Brazilian states of Tocantins, Goiás and Mato Grosso Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. do Sul (Lima et al., 2004; Carvalho et al., 2006; Vaz- Silva et al., 2006; Campos & Vaz-Silva, 2010; Valdujo et al., 2011; Melo et al., 2013; Frost, 2014). This species is endemic to the Cerrado (Valdujo et al., 2012) and is found in low abundance (Campos & Vaz-Silva, 2010) from December to March, vocalizing in marginal shrub vegetation in permanent ponds of open areas (Lima et al., 2004; Vaz-Silva et al., 2006).

This municipality is located in an area with three ecoregions: Chaco, Cerrado and Pantanal. Through acoustic and visual nocturnal/diurnal and pitfall evaluations from a period of over five years, we recorded 31 species in the Cerrado and 29 species in the humid Chaco. About 90% of the species were previously registered in the municipality of Porto Murtinho. A non-metric multidimensional analysis based on a presence/absence matrix revealed a separation in our sampling sites and communities with Cerrado and humid Chaco characteristics. This peculiarity in the species composition must be related to the transition zone, with the presence of mixed species characteristics of Cerrado and humid Chaco in both areas in the municipality of Porto Murtinho experiences a high degree of deforestation pressure, which threatens both the Cerrado and humid Chaco vegetation.

Crocodilians Glossary Bibliography Biographical Sketches Summary The Cerrado biome (savannah ecoregion) occupies 25% of the Brazilian territory (2.000.000 km2) and presents a mosaic of the phytophysiognomies, which is often reflected in its biodiversity. Despite its great distribution, the biological diversity of the biome still much unknown. Herein, we present a revision about the herpetofauna of this threatened biome. It is possible that the majority of the living families of amphibians and reptiles UNESCOof the savanna ecoregion originated – inEOLSS Gondwana, and had already diverged at the end of Mesozoic Era, with the Tertiary Period being responsible for the great diversification. Nowadays, the Cerrado harbors 152 amphibian species (44 endemic) and is only behind Atlantic Forest, which has 335 species and Amazon, with 232 species. Other SouthSAMPLE American open biomes , CHAPTERSlike Pantanal and Caatinga, have around 49 and 51 species, respectively. Among the 36 species distributed among eight families in Brazil, 10 species (4 families) are found in the Cerrado. Regarding the crocodilians, the six species found in Brazil belongs to Alligatoridae family, and also can be found in the Cerrado.

  • Anuran Community in a Neotropical Natural Ecotone
    Herpetology Notes, volume 12: 1145-1156 (2019) (published online on 05 November 2019) Anuran community in a Neotropical natural ecotone Rodrigo Matavelli1,2,*, Aldenise Martins Campos1, Clarenice Loiola Santos1, and Gilda Vasconcellos de Andrade3 Abstract. Little attention has been given to natural ecotone areas around the world. However, natural ecotones play an important role in sustaining high species richness and a unique biodiversity that do not exist in the adjacent ecosystems. We present the first anuran fauna inventory in a natural ecotone between Cerrado and restinga in northeastern Maranhão State, Brazil. The survey was conducted at 24 sampling points in an area of 14,360 km2. We sampled anurans during the rainy season (January to July 2010) using the visual search (youth and adults) and acoustic search (male reproductive activity of vocalization) methods simultaneously to detect the presence of adult individuals. We recorded 50 anuran species belonging to 15 genera and five families. The anuran fauna showed high species richness, which may be explained by the fact that the study area is a natural biogeographic transition zone. Keywords. Amphibians, Conservation efforts, Inventory, Maranhão, Transition areas Introduction 2014; Johnson et al., 2017), mainly because the species’ two-phase life cycle makes them very sensitive to any Brazil has the largest anuran diversity in the world, with changes in both aquatic and terrestrial environments approximately 1,090 species (Frost, 2019; Segalla et al., (Stuart et al., 2008; Adeba et al., 2010). 2019). This great diversity is probably due to its large Most previous studies on anurans in Brazil evaluated territorial extent, and to a high geographical complexity their distribution patterns and species composition involving various natural biomes that comprise different in Cerrado (Giaretta et al., 2008; Valdujo et al., 2011; phytophysiognomies (IBGE, 1994; Olson et al., 2001) Moraes et al., 2012; Gambale et al., 2014) and restinga and natural ecotone areas.

The aim of this study was to develop microsatellite markers for Ololygon centralis, an endemic tree frog species of the Cerrado biome of Brazil, to improve population genetics studies with focus on conservation and ecology. Sets of primers were designed from sequences derived from high throughput sequencing (Illumina- Miseq). Five polymorphic microsatellite loci were characterized for 30 individuals from three populations of the state of Goiás, Brazil. All loci combined presented a probability of identity (I) equal to 1.13x10-6 and paternity exclusion (Q) of 0.993. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 5 to 17, with a mean of 10 alleles. The expected and observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.41 to 0.98 and from 0 to 1, respectively.
