Estado del conocimiento Alejandra HERNANDO1 y Blanca ALVAREZ1 Abstract: CHROMOSONIC STUDIES ON SAURIA AND ANPHISBENIDS. Morphological characters are traditionally involbed in taxonomic studies of Squamata. However, cytogenetic information from chromosome number, size and shape to molecular level can be an important contribution for systematics and phylogenetic analysis. In this paper, we summarize the karyotypic data available for lizards and amphisbaenians species distributed in the Argentinean littoral region. Chromosome formulae, banding patterns when exist and a brief remark about genera or families cytogenetic features are given. Key words: Lizards - Amphisbaenians - Cytogenetics - Karyotypes - Chromosome banding - Argentinean littoral region. Palabras clave: Saurios - Anfisbénidos - Citogenética - Cariotipos - Bandeos cromosomas - Litoral fluvial argentino Iintroducción Los caracteres cromosómicos pueden brindar información no evidente a nivel fenético (como en el caso de las especies crípticas) y, dependiendo del nivel de análisis, son herramientas importantes para resolver problemas sistemáticos. Además, como los caracteres cariológicos, morfológicos, inmunológicos, isoenzimáticos no evolucionan de manera paralela las comparaciones del grado de diversificación de los cariotipos con el grado de divergencia de otros caracteres son útiles para inferir relaciones filogenéticas (Peccinini- Seale 1981). Los cromosomas pueden analizarse teniendo en cuenta la forma, tamaño, número y comporta- miento durante la meiosis y mitosis. Con el desarrollo de las técnicas de coloración diferencial y de hibridación in situ es posible identificar los cromosomas por sus patrones característicos de bandas.

  • Ecological Functions of Neotropical Amphibians and Reptiles: a Review
    Univ. Sci. 2015, Vol. 20 (2): 229-245 doi: 10.11144/Javeriana.SC20-2.efna Freely available on line REVIEW ARTICLE Ecological functions of neotropical amphibians and reptiles: a review Cortés-Gomez AM1, Ruiz-Agudelo CA2 , Valencia-Aguilar A3, Ladle RJ4 Abstract Amphibians and reptiles (herps) are the most abundant and diverse vertebrate taxa in tropical ecosystems. Nevertheless, little is known about their role in maintaining and regulating ecosystem functions and, by extension, their potential value for supporting ecosystem services. Here, we review research on the ecological functions of Neotropical herps, in different sources (the bibliographic databases, book chapters, etc.). A total of 167 Neotropical herpetology studies published over the last four decades (1970 to 2014) were reviewed, providing information on more than 100 species that contribute to at least five categories of ecological functions: i) nutrient cycling; ii) bioturbation; iii) pollination; iv) seed dispersal, and; v) energy flow through ecosystems. We emphasize the need to expand the knowledge about ecological functions in Neotropical ecosystems and the mechanisms behind these, through the study of functional traits and analysis of ecological processes. Many of these functions provide key ecosystem services, such as biological pest control, seed dispersal and water quality. By knowing and understanding the functions that perform the herps in ecosystems, management plans for cultural landscapes, restoration or recovery projects of landscapes that involve aquatic and terrestrial systems, development of comprehensive plans and detailed conservation of species and ecosystems may be structured in a more appropriate way. Besides information gaps identified in this review, this contribution explores these issues in terms of better understanding of key questions in the study of ecosystem services and biodiversity and, also, of how these services are generated.

Instead, we examine the rate of production (productivity of Biological Sciences, University of Reading, hereafter) calculated as the total mass of offspring produced in a year. We test ReadingRG6 6AS, UK whether productivity is influenced by proxies of adult mortality rates such as insularity and fossorial habits, by measures of temperature such as environmental and body temperatures, mode of reproduction and activity times, and by environ- mental productivity and diet. We further examine whether low productivity is linked to high extinction risk. Location World-wide. Methods We assembled a database containing 551 lizard species, their phyloge- netic relationships and multiple life history and ecological variables from the lit- erature. We use phylogenetically informed statistical models to estimate the factors related to lizard productivity. Results Some, but not all, predictions of metabolic and life-history theories are supported. When analysed separately, clutch size, relative clutch mass and brood frequency are poorly correlated with body mass, but their product – productivity – is well correlated with mass. The allometry of productivity scales similarly to metabolic rate, suggesting that a constant fraction of assimilated energy is allocated to production irrespective of body size.

In Brazil, the Chaco is found in southwestern corner of Mato Grosso do Sul state, mostly in the municipality of Porto Murtinho along the Paraguay and Apa rivers. From February 2008 to December 2009, we carried out an inventory of amphibians and reptiles in Porto Murtinho, using pitfall traps, time-limited searches, and occasional encounters. A total of 34 amphibian and 39 reptile species were registered. Although some typical Chacoan species were found, most of the species are open area dwellers that also occur in other open biomes, such as the Cerrado and Caatinga.

    Online Supplementary data – Henle, K. & A. Grimm-Seyfarth (2020): Exceptional numbers of occurrences of bifurcated, double, triple, and quintuple tails in an Australian lizard community, with a review of supernumerary tails in natural populations of reptiles. – Salamandra, 56: 373–391 Supplementary document S1. Database on bifurcation, duplication and multiplication of tails in natural populations of reptiles. We considered only data that were provided at least at the genus level and that explicitly originated from natural populations or for which this was likely, as either the authors indicated for other specimens that they were captive animals, or because museum series were examined (even if data were provided only for the specimens with accessory tails). We relaxed these criteria for pre-1900 publications and included also individuals without determination and data that were not explicitly stated as applying to wild individuals if such an origin was plausible. We extracted the following data (if available): species name, number of individuals with accessory tails, number of individuals with bifurcation, duplication, trifurcation, quadruplication, quintuplication and hexaplication, sample size, geographic origin (usually country but may also be oceanic islands), microhabitat, and the year of publication. Nomenclature follows Cogger (2014) for Australian reptiles and Uetz et al. (2019) for other species regarding generic names, name changes due to priorities and synonymies, and for subspecies identified in the source reference that have been elevated later to full species rank. Name changes due to splitting of taxa into several species were made only if allocation of the data to the new species was obvious from morphological or geographic information provided by the assessed source reference or was already done by other authors.

Centro Universitario de Rivera, Universidad de la República, Uruguay. ABSTRACT The aim of this work is to summarize the scientific knowledge of Uruguayan reptiles. In this study we considered 61 species of reptiles based on 4700 records from the main scientific collections of the country. We derived geographic distributions from georeferenced records superimposed on a grid of 302 quadrants and we generated a cumulative curve of species. Based on estimates of species richness, we suggest that as many as seven additional species of continental reptiles could be present in Uruguay, which have not been found in the field but, if accounted for in future studies, they would eventually increase reptile richness to 68 species.

Dr(a). ______________________ Profa. Dra. Yatiyo Yassuda Orientadora Resumo A família Teiidae é restrita à região neotropical e possui cerca de 110 espécies distribuídas em dez gêneros. Estudos moleculares, juntamente com citogenéticos e morfológicos e as recentes descrições de novas espécies, apontam para uma necessidade urgente de estudos multidisciplinares mais amplos que caracterizem melhor a grande diversidade nos Teiidae, especialmente quanto a espécies brasileiras, de modo a fornecer importantes contribuições à sistemática, evolução cromossômica, possibilitando a formulação de hipóteses filogenéticas mais robustas. Assim, esse trabalho tem por objetivos dar continuidade aos estudos evolutivos em Teiidae, tanto citogeneticamente, quanto molecularmente e discutir, se possível, sobre a reprodução partenogenética encontrada em muitas espécies deste grupo de lagartos.
