Herpetofauna of Three “Brejos De Altitude” in the Interior of the State of Pernambuco, Northeastern Brazil Herpetology Notes, volume 12: 591-602 (2019) (published online on 11 June 2019) Herpetofauna of three “Brejos de Altitude” in the interior of the state of Pernambuco, northeastern Brazil Marco Antonio de Freitas1,*, Arthur Diesel Abegg2,5, Daniel da Silva Araújo3, Hugo Estevam de Almeida Coelho4, Weverton dos Santos Azevedo5, Márcio Frazão Chaves6, Conrado Mario da Rosa7, and Geraldo Jorge Barbosa de Moura8 Abstract. “Brejos de altitude” are ecoregions found at high altitudes, generally over 600 meters above sea level, located in both mountainous and plateau regions distributed throughout the Brazilian Northeast. These relict altitudinal forests display unique biotic evolutionary characteristics mainly due to the geological time they have spent in isolation, serving as “islands” for biological specialization, with many registered endemic species (six species of amphibians and 22 reptiles of the northeast region). Studies providing basic herpetofauna data are important to understand the structure and composition of these communities. In this context, the present study aimed to compile an inventory of the herpetofauna of three brejos de altitude in the state of Pernambuco, Northeastern Brazil. A total of 82 species were recorded in all three study areas, 30 amphibians (two orders, eight families and 15 genera) and 52 reptiles (two orders, 19 families and 42 genera). Four species of lizards found in the present study are endangered, and one tortoise and one snake species are data deficient (DD). Keywords.

Some further investigations on symbiotic fauna of shallow-water boring demosponges in Nhatrang Bay, Vietnam are given. Three species of pontoniine shrimps are described as new: Onycocaridella an- tokha spec. nov., Periclimenaeus pachyspinosus spec. nov., and Poripontonia cornuta spec. nov. Four spe- cies, Apopontonia falcirostris Bruce, 1976, Onycocaris amasukensis Fujino & Miyake, 1969, Periclimenaeus djiboutensis Bruce, 1970 and Periclimenaeus rastrifer Bruce, 1980, are recorded from Vietnam for the fi rst time. Introduction The symbiotic fauna associated with shallow-water demosponges is very rich. It is based on the presence of a developed canal system with a continuous fl ow of water (Bergquist, 1978) and the perfect shelter of the inhabitants by toxicity of the sponges for large predators (Bakhus, 1981). Most of the epibiotic species are hydroids (Puce et al, 2005) and polychaetes (Martin & Britayev, 1998) while endobiotic alpheid (Decapoda: Caridea: Alpheidae) and palaemonid (Decapoda: Palaemonidae) shrimps are the most diverse groups inside sponges.

Constant commercial fishing for groundfish has occurred since the 1960s. The implementation of areas closed to bottom trawling to protect critical habitat for fish or crabs resulted in successful management of these fisheries. The efficacy of these closures on non-target species is unknown. This study determined if differences in abundance, biomass, diversity and evenness of dominant fish and invertebrate species occur among areas open and closed to bottom trawling in the eastern Bering Sea between 1996 and 2000.

    Herpetology Notes, volume 14: 903-906 (2021) (published online on 24 June 2021) Bromelicolous habit of three species of Rhinella Fitzinger, 1826 (Anura: Bufonidae) in Northeastern Brazil’s Atlantic Forest Ubiratã Ferreira Souza1,*, Alan Pedro de Araújo2,3, Alcina Gabriela Maria Medeiros da Fonsêca Santos1, and Marcos Jorge Matias Dubeux4 Understanding habitat types and how organisms bromeliads for breeding can still use them as shelter (i.e., make use of them, is crucial for identifying factors bromelicolous; sensu Peixoto, 1995). Bromelicolous that determine species distribution and community habit can be recurrent (e.g., Scinax pachycrus [Araújo composition (Kopp and Eterovick, 2006; Pittman et et al., 2020], Nyctimantis brunoi [Peixoto, 1995]) or al., 2014). The phytotelmata are plant structures that opportunistic – when the anuran uses this phytotelm accumulate rainwater (e.g., bromeliad tanks, tree holes, occasionally (Peixoto, 1995; Andrade et al., 2009). bamboo internodes, axils and floral bracts; see Kitching, Among the four genera of bufonids occurring in 2000). Such structures provide microhabitats for fungi, the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (Segalla et al., 2019), microalgae, and both invertebrate and vertebrate Dendrophryniscus Jiménez-de-la-Espada, 1870, animals (Maguire, 1971; Ramos et al., 2018, 2019).

  • Anurofauna De Uma Localidade Na Mata Atlântica Setentrional, Alagoas, Brasil
    BOL. MUS. BIOL. MELLO LEITÃO (N. SÉR.) 37:149-171. JANEIRO-MARÇO DE 2015 149 Anurofauna de uma localidade na Mata Atlântica setentrional, Alagoas, Brasil Cristiane Nikely Silva Palmeira1,* & Ubiratan Gonçalves1 RESUMO: Listas de espécies constituem o primeiro passo para o monitoramento da fauna, pois contribuem para o conhecimento dos hábitats, avaliação do estado de conservação das espécies e servem como ferramenta auxiliar para medidas de conservação. É apresentado neste artigo o inventário da anurofauna em uma localidade inserida no domínio da Mata Atlântica nordestina, localizada no município de Boca da Mata, Alagoas. Para o trabalho em campo, foram realizadas excursões semanais entre os meses de Junho a Agosto de 2011, totalizando dez dias de esforço amostral. Foram registradas 32 espécies de anfíbios anuros pertencentes às famílias Bufonidae (três), Craugastoridae (uma), Hylidae (17), Leptodactylidae (nove), Odontophrynidae (uma) e Ranidae (uma). Os estimadores de primeiro ordem Jackknife1 e Chao1 sugeriram uma riqueza de pelo menos 39 espécies. A maior riqueza de espécies da família Hylidae é algo comum em inventários na região neotropical, que evidência a grande capacidade de adaptação desses indivíduos em ocupar com sucesso ambientes de grande heterogeneidade estrutural, até mesmo locais alterados como a região estudada. O dendrograma de similaridade mostrou uma maior afinidade da área de estudo com outras áreas do nordeste e evidenciou uma grande diferença na composição da Mata atlântica nordestina em relação a do sudeste. No tocante a inventários com anuros na parte setentrional da Mata Atlântica, pesquisas ainda são escassas, se fazendo necessárias, ao melhor conhecimento da riqueza atual, a fim de obter uma situação mais precisa da diversidade de anuros neste hotspot mundial.

Nesse sentido, as bromélias são um grupo de organismos particularmente importante para a biodiversidade das comunidades onde ocorrem, por apresentarem muitas características que facilitam a vida de outros organismos, como a de propiciar microhabitats essenciais para estes (Hay; Lacerda; Tan, 1981), como abrigos, umidade e alimento para comunidades de animais como os anfíbios, possibilitando ainda um ambiente propício para a reprodução e desenvolvimento das formas juvenis (Waldemar; Irgang, 2003; Lehtinen, 2004; Schineider; Teixeira, 2001; Juncá; Borges, 2002). Os anuros são os vertebrados mais associados com as bromélias, essa associação se caracteriza pelo nível de dependência do animal com a planta. As espécies bromelícolas são aquelas que utilizam a bromélia como abrigo ou sítio de forrageamento, mas o seu ciclo reprodutivo não estaria estritamente dependente da bromélia. Já as bromelígenas dependem intimamente das bromélias para completar seu ciclo de vida (Peixoto 1995).

This study was funded by the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior, through an interagency agreement with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce, as part of the Alaska Outer Continental Shelf Environment Assessment Program (OCSEAP). SUMMARY OF OBJECTIVES, CONCLUSIONS, AND IMPLICATIONS WITH RESPECT TO OCS OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT Little is known about the biology of the invertebrate components of the shallow, nearshore benthos of the bays of Kodiak Island, and yet these components may be the ones most significantly affected by the impact of oil derived from offshore petroleum operations. Baseline information on species composition is essential before industrial activities take place in waters adjacent to Kodiak Island. It was the intent of this investigation to collect information on the composition, distribution, and biology of the epifaunal invertebrate components of two bays of Kodiak Island. The specific objectives of this study were: 1) A qualitative inventory of dominant benthic invertebrate epifaunal species within two study sites (Alitak and Ugak bays).
