AGRADECIMENTOS Nenhuma grande jornada pode ser concluída sem que muitos personagens tenham participado dela. Poder expressar gratidão por aqueles que tornaram sua trajetória mais exequível é motivo de satisfação, pois nem todos são gratos àqueles que o ajudaram a transpor as pedras em seu caminho. Sou imensamente grato ao meu orientador, o professor Antonio Sebben, que desde o primeiro dia depositou confiança em mim, um rapaz franzino que apareceu do nada com o objetivo de se tornar um doutor. Não existe um dia apenas que não reconheço o mérito deste homem que deposita na formação de novos profissionais a vontade de tornar a ciência algo mais próximo de todos. Muito obrigado professor pela dedicação e confiança. Muito obrigado aos colegas do laboratório. Muitíssimo obrigado a Tainã, alguém que considero mais que amiga, parte de uma família que formei ao longo de minha jornada. Foram muitas risadas, trabalho sério, troca de ideias e sobretudo muito cumplicidade vindo de alguém que poderia simplesmente me negar um sorriso, mas pelo contrário, me abriu portas e segurou em minha mão. Sou grato ao professor Osmindo por me acolher, aconselhar e partilhar comigo seus ensinamentos. Poder conviver com ambos foi um ensaio ímpar que pretendo carregar comigo, pois a experiência de vida adquirida durante este período me amadureceu e me despertou. Poder contar com amigos como a Lucélia, que desde o primeiro dia foi sem dúvida minha grande inspiração de vida, me tornou alguém mais sábio e forte. Seu exemplo guia minha carreira e meus objetivos são traçados segundo uma perspectiva única que atribuo a este grande ser. Mais que oferecer seu aparo acadêmico ela sempre esteve presente nos momentos mais alegres e difíceis dessa empreitada e sua voz, as vezes dura de ser ouvida, me confortou e direcionou a este momento. Aos meus grande amigos Ricardo Santa Rita e Kleber Fernando pelo suporte, primeiro enquanto profissional, mais adiante enquanto ser humano. Poder contar com a força de ambos durante esse período me motivou a cada dia. Pensar em desistir me ocorreu em vários momentos. Idas e vindas, aulas, muito trabalho, experimentos frustrados... Muitas foram as dificuldades mas o exemplo de vocês me deixou resistente as intempéries. Sem dúvida vocês dois foram as pessoas que me acolheram na UFG e me mostraram que posso crescer e me sentir seguro neste lugar. Muito obrigado a Dayane pelos momentos de alegria e muita conversa. Pela força com as disciplinas da Anatomia nessa hora difícil e por ser esse indivíduo iluminado. Muito obrigado aos profissionais que me cederam a oportunidade de trabalhar em seus laboratórios, por compartilhar seu conhecimento, equipamentos, espaço e recursos para que minha investigação tivesse êxito. Alessandra Feijó, Fabiana Melo, Lilian Cristina, André Quagliatto, Jorge Diniz e muitos outros. Reconhecimento especial ao professor Augusto Abe e a Marina Sartori por possibilitar a coleta de embriões e pela contribuição mais que inestimável neste trabalho. Sou agradecido a meus amigos que sempre me suportaram nos momentos de crise e angústia e me cederam o ombro para que eu secasse as lágrimas e voltasse a caminhar. Magrelo, Zannan, Fran, Thaís, Mizael, Darlan, Sandra, Douglas, Maria, Gustavo, Cristiane, Érica, Cristielle, Mariluce, Éder e outros que, embora não tenha elencado nesse papel, certamente foram importantes nesse processo. Cada um com sua parcela de contribuição, mas sem vocês certamente eu não seria um décimo da pessoa que sou. Muito obrigado a minha família pelo suporte e por entender que a vida acadêmica nem sempre reserva espaço para presença em datas especiais, férias ou finais de semana. Muito obrigado pai e mãe pela maneira que conduziram minha educação, me orientando a ser uma pessoa ética e que busca seus objetivos. Grato pelo suporte de minhas irmãs Dany e Cissa que sempre estiveram presentes, mesmo quando eu estive ausente visto tantas obrigações e responsabilidades. Ao meu estimado amigo Gordo meu sincero obrigado pelo carinho e dedicação. Muitas foram as horas de conversa sobre qualquer assunto, útil ou banal, mas que me deixaram imensamente grato pela existência desse ser maravilhoso em minha vida e que tornou meus dias em Jataí mais agradáveis. Obrigado pelas experiências de vida, pelas horas de risadas, pelas broncas. Muito obrigado ao Odeony que nessa fase final esteve presente nas crises de ansiedade me confortando e me incentivando a vencer. Obrigado por me ensinar a viver e por partilhar experiências ímpares comigo. Estar vivo nos obriga a sermos fortes para vencer os obstáculos e conquistar nossos objetivos. Agradeço a UnB e UFG enquanto instituição de ensino pela oportunidade de crescimento profissional e aprimoramento. Muito obrigado a todos pela oportunidade de partilhar conhecimento e por me tornar um homem que luta por seus sonhos.

Email: [email protected] Manuscript received: 27 April 2014, accepted: 18 September 2014 Abstract Two genera of tylosaurine mosasaurs, Tylosaurus and Hainosaurus, are recorded for the first time from Germany. Tylosaurus sp. is represented by two isolated tooth crowns, originally described as Mosasaurus? alseni (here considered a nomen dubium) from the latest Santonian–Early Campanian, which are very similar to T. ivoensis and T. gaudryi.ThematerialofHainosaurus sp. comprises a maxillary with associated postorbitofrontal, two pterygoid teeth and several indeterminate cranial fragments. The specimen from the Late Campanian is slightly less derived than H. bernardi from the Maastrichtian in retaining labiolingually less compressed anterior maxillary teeth and unserrated pterygoid teeth with only very weak carinae. Despite only minor skeletal differences, the genus Hainosaurus is considered to be distinct from Tylosaurus because of its significant modification of the dental apparatus compared to the plesiomorphic condition in the latter. This dental morphology suggests a phylogenetic trend from a generalised-piercing marginal dentition in Tylosaurus towards the increasingly labiolingually compressed, symmetrical, strongly bicarinate cutting marginal teeth in Hainosaurus spp.

  • Estimating the Evolutionary Rates in Mosasauroids and Plesiosaurs: Discussion of Niche Occupation in Late Cretaceous Seas
    Estimating the evolutionary rates in mosasauroids and plesiosaurs: discussion of niche occupation in Late Cretaceous seas Daniel Madzia1 and Andrea Cau2 1 Department of Evolutionary Paleobiology, Institute of Paleobiology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw, Poland 2 Independent, Parma, Italy ABSTRACT Observations of temporal overlap of niche occupation among Late Cretaceous marine amniotes suggest that the rise and diversification of mosasauroid squamates might have been influenced by competition with or disappearance of some plesiosaur taxa. We discuss that hypothesis through comparisons of the rates of morphological evolution of mosasauroids throughout their evolutionary history with those inferred for contemporary plesiosaur clades. We used expanded versions of two species- level phylogenetic datasets of both these groups, updated them with stratigraphic information, and analyzed using the Bayesian inference to estimate the rates of divergence for each clade. The oscillations in evolutionary rates of the mosasauroid and plesiosaur lineages that overlapped in time and space were then used as a baseline for discussion and comparisons of traits that can affect the shape of the niche structures of aquatic amniotes, such as tooth morphologies, body size, swimming abilities, metabolism, and reproduction. Only two groups of plesiosaurs are considered to be possible niche competitors of mosasauroids: the brachauchenine pliosaurids and the polycotylid leptocleidians. However, direct evidence for interactions between mosasauroids and plesiosaurs is scarce and limited only to large mosasauroids as the Submitted 31 July 2019 predators/scavengers and polycotylids as their prey. The first mosasauroids differed Accepted 18 March 2020 from contemporary plesiosaurs in certain aspects of all discussed traits and no evidence Published 13 April 2020 suggests that early representatives of Mosasauroidea diversified after competitions with Corresponding author plesiosaurs.

  • Varanus Doreanus) in Australia
    BIAWAK Journal of Varanid Biology and Husbandry Volume 11 Number 1 ISSN: 1936-296X On the Cover: Varanus douarrha The individuals depicted on the cover and inset of this issue represent a recently redescribed species of monitor lizard, Varanus douarrha (Lesson, 1830), which origi- nates from New Ireland, in the Bismark Archipelago of Papua New Guinea. Although originally discovered and described by René Lesson in 1830, the holotype was lost on its way to France when the ship it was traveling on became shipwrecked at the Cape of Good Hope. Since then, without a holotype for comparitive studies, it has been assumed that the monitors on New Ireland repre- sented V. indicus or V. finschi. Recent field investiga- tions by Valter Weijola in New Ireland and the Bismark Archipelago and phylogenetic analyses of recently col- lected specimens have reaffirmed Lesson’s original clas- sification of this animal as a distinct species. The V. douarrha depicted here were photographed by Valter Weijola on 17 July and 9 August 2012 near Fis- soa on the northern coast of New Ireland. Both individu- als were found basking in coconut groves close to the beach. Reference: Weijola, V., F. Kraus, V. Vahtera, C. Lindqvist & S.C. Donnellan. 2017.

The specimen comprises a fragmentary skull and parts of the mandibles. Some anatomical features suggest a juvenile animal. The skull possesses a rostral tuberosity on the premaxilla, as well as a combination of features known from different mosasaur genera, like its frontopremaxillary suture situated caudal to the external naris, its prefrontal and postorbitofrontal being in contact lateral to the orbit, associated with the supra- and infrastapedial processes of its quadrate which almost contact one another. Despite being clearly distinct from any hitherto described mosasaur, the affinities of this specimen with other mosasaurs remain obscure, not only because of incompleteness, but also because of the poorly understood biological significance of the characters used for the classification of Mosasauridae.

  • Fauna of Australia 2A
    FAUNA of AUSTRALIA 26. BIOGEOGRAPHY AND PHYLOGENY OF THE SQUAMATA Mark N. Hutchinson & Stephen C. Donnellan 26. BIOGEOGRAPHY AND PHYLOGENY OF THE SQUAMATA This review summarises the current hypotheses of the origin, antiquity and history of the order Squamata, the dominant living reptile group which comprises the lizards, snakes and worm-lizards. The primary concern here is with the broad relationships and origins of the major taxa rather than with local distributional or phylogenetic patterns within Australia. In our review of the phylogenetic hypotheses, where possible we refer principally to data sets that have been analysed by cladistic methods. Analyses based on anatomical morphological data sets are integrated with the results of karyotypic and biochemical data sets. A persistent theme of this chapter is that for most families there are few cladistically analysed morphological data, and karyotypic or biochemical data sets are limited or unavailable. Biogeographic study, especially historical biogeography, cannot proceed unless both phylogenetic data are available for the taxa and geological data are available for the physical environment. Again, the reader will find that geological data are very uncertain regarding the degree and timing of the isolation of the Australian continent from Asia and Antarctica. In most cases, therefore, conclusions should be regarded very cautiously. The number of squamate families in Australia is low. Five of approximately fifteen lizard families and five or six of eleven snake families occur in the region; amphisbaenians are absent. Opinions vary concerning the actual number of families recognised in the Australian fauna, depending on whether the Pygopodidae are regarded as distinct from the Gekkonidae, and whether sea snakes, Hydrophiidae and Laticaudidae, are recognised as separate from the Elapidae.

  • BIAWAK Quarterly Journal of Varanid Biology and Husbandry
    BIAWAK Quarterly Journal of Varanid Biology and Husbandry Volume 5 Number 3 ISSN: 1936-296X On the Cover: Varanus komodoensis The Varanus komodoensis depicted on the cover and inset of this issue was photographed by Jeremy Holden on Rinca Island in late July 2011 during the making of a film for National Geographic Channel on Homo floresiensis and Komodo dragons. Unlike the mainland Flores population, the dragons on Rinca, although still dangerous on occasion, are now accepting of humans and can be approached to within meters. The photograph on the cover and to the left shows one of the Komodo National Park rangers luring a dragon with a dead fish. A number of dragons visit the park head quarters, occasionally menacing kitchen staff and even attacking rangers - a notorious incident in 2009 saw a dragon climb in to the park ticket booth and bite a ranger on the arm as he struggled to escape through the window. These animals are often co-opted into appearing in TV documentaries, as was the case with the dragon in these photographs. Jeremy Holden is a 45-year-old photographer, naturalist and explorer. For the past 25 years he has been traveling the world in search of wild places and mysterious creatures. In 1994 he began working with the British conservation organization Fauna & Flora International to help document and preserve some of Southeast Asia’s most threatened ecosystems. During his field research he developed camera trapping techniques which he has used all over Asia to document rare and cryptic animals, especially those in tropical rainforests.

  • ON the VARANUS-LIKE LIZARDS of ISTRIA Franz Baron Nopcsa Jun
    1 ON THE VARANUS-LIKE LIZARDS OF ISTRIA by Franz Baron Nopcsa jun. Über die Varanusartigen Lacerten Istriens Beitr. z. Pal. & Geol. Oestr.Ung. 15: 31-42, Pl.V-VI (1903) (Trans. Ó2000 John D. Scanlon, Department of Zoology, University of Queensland, Brisbane 4072 QLD, Australia) Among the palaeontologically most important reptiles, and perhaps phylogenetically the most interesting finds of any kind in the last decade, belong without doubt those lizards which were found in recent times in Istria. No less than three very thorough descriptions have been presented by Dr Kornhuber, of just as many lizards: Pontosaurus, Carsosaurus and Opetiosaurus ; one other lizard-like animal has been described by each of Herman von Meyer (Acteosaurus), Seeley (Adriosaurus) and Gorjanovic-Kramberger (Aigialosaurus), and a similar form (Dolichosaurus) has been made known by Owen from the Cretaceous formation of England. Their systematic position has been discussed by Owen, Boulenger, Baur, Kornhuber and Gorjanovic-Kramberger, and all these authors agree that in some of them, more pythonomorph characters can be found than on any other recent or fossil lizards. Their last classification was given by Gorjanovic-Kramberger (1892) in the following schema: Group (Suborder:) Dolichosauria[*] Family Aigialosauridae Family Dolichosauridae A. Acteosaurus Dolichosaurus Adriosaurus Pontosaurus B. Aigialosaurus [*: G-K actually proposed a new name Ophiosauria, preoccupied. JS] I believe on the basis of renewed investigations, especially on Opetiosaurus, that this classification must be fundamentally transformed. In order to be able to carry this out, the individual genera should first be discussed, and only after this can we pass on their systematic position as well as their phylogenetic significance.
