  • Geographical Distribution Patterns of South American Side-Necked Turtles (Chelidae), with Emphasis on Brazilian Species

    Geographical Distribution Patterns of South American Side-Necked Turtles (Chelidae), with Emphasis on Brazilian Species

    Rev. Esp. Herp. (2005) 19:33-46 Geographical distribution patterns of South American side-necked turtles (Chelidae), with emphasis on Brazilian species FRANCO LEANDRO SOUZA Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, Centro de Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde, Departamento de Biologia, 79070-900 Campo Grande, MS, Brazil (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: The Chelidae (side-necked turtles) are the richest and most widespread turtle family in South America with endemic patterns at the species level related to water basins. Based on available literature records, the geographic distribution of the 22 recognized chelid species from South America was examined in relation to water basins and for the 19 Brazilian species also in light of climate and habitat characteristics. Species-distribution maps were used to identify species richness in a given area. Parsimony analysis of endemicity (PAE) was employed to verify the species-areas similarities and relationships among the species. For Brazilian species, annual rainfall in each water basin explained 81% of variation in turtle distribution and at a regional scale (country-wide) temperature also influenced their distribution. While rainfall had a significant positive relationship with species number in a given area, a negative but non-significant relationship was identified for temperature. Excepting an unresolved clade formed by some northern water basins, well-defined northern-northeastern and central-south groups (as identified for water basins) as well as biome differentiation give support to a hypothesis of a freshwater turtle fauna regionalization. Also, a more general biogeographical pattern is evidenced by those Brazilian species living in open or closed formations.

    CBD Distr. GENERAL CBD/SBSTTA/21/INF/8 17 November 2017 ENGLISH ONLY SUBSIDIARY BODY ON SCIENTIFIC, TECHNICAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL ADVICE Twenty-first meeting Montreal, Canada, 11-14 December 2017 Item 4 of the provisional agenda* WILDLIFE TRADE IN AMAZON COUNTRIES: AN ANALYSIS OF TRADE IN CITES-LISTED SPECIES Note by the Executive Secretary 1. The Executive Secretary is circulating herewith, for the information of participants in the twenty-first meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice, a report presenting a comprehensive overview of international trade in wildlife species listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in the Amazon countries: Bolivia; Brazil; Colombia; Ecuador; Guyana; Peru; Suriname; and Venezuela. The analysis provides a baseline of information on trade levels and trends in these countries for the 10-year period 2005-2014, in order to inform trade management in the region. It has been produced in close collaboration with national experts, presenting contextual information and insights into the management of wildlife trade in the region. 2. The report is relevant to the work of the Convention on Biological Diversity, in particular with regard to decision XIII/8, paragraph 5(d), in which the Conference of the Parties requests the Executive Secretary, in collaboration with other members of the Collaborative Partnership on Sustainable Wildlife Management, to continue to support efforts by Parties to combat illicit trafficking in wildlife, in line with United Nations General Assembly resolution 69/314 of 30 July 2015, and to enhance institutional capacities on wildlife conservation and law enforcement with relevant law enforcement bodies, such as the International Consortium on Combating Wildlife Crime.

Zool. 71: 2448-2461. Reproductive and body size data from 169 populations of 146 species (56% of those recognized), 65 genera (75%), and 11 families (92%)of turtles were tabulated to test for latitudinal variation in egg and clutch size. Body-size-adjusted correla- tion analysis of all populations (as well as within most families) revealed (i) a significant negative relationship (r2 = 0.26) between latitude and egg size, (ii) a significant positive relationship (r2 = 0.2 1) between latitude and clutch size, and (iii) no relationship between latitude and clutch mass. Phylogenetic contrast analyses corroborated these patterns. Clutch size was also negatively correlated with egg size across all populations as well as within most families. We evaluate the applicability to turtles of hypotheses postulated to explain such latitudinal patterns for other vertebrate groups. The observed pattern may be the result of latitudinal variation in selection on egg size and (or) clutch size, as well as on the optimal trade-off between these two traits.

    MJie,ianJfuseum PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY CENTRAL PARK WEST AT 79TH STREET, NEW YORK 24, N.Y. NUMBER 1934 APRIL 22, 1959 Taxonomic Notes on a Collection of Venezuelan Reptiles in the American Museum of Natural History BY JANIS A. ROZE1 INTRODUCTION While visiting museums2 in the United States in an effort to prepare a monographic study of the Venezuelan snake fauna, I had the privi- lege of examining an unidentified reptile collection in the American Museum of Natural History. It contained 72 specimens, representing 25 species and subspecies, two of which proved to be undescribed. Notes on specimens from the United States National Museum (U.S.N.M.), Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh (C.M.), and Museo de Biologia, Univer- sidad Central de Venezuela, Caracas, Venezuela (M.B.U.C.V.), are added. At present the state of our knowledge concerning the systematic position of the amphibians and reptiles, or, indeed, the flora and fauna, of South America in general and Venezuela in particular leaves much to be desired. The situation here is similar to the one existing about 50 to 70 years ago in Europe or North America; thus every speci- men collected contributes to our understanding of the various popula- tions within a given area, or discloses the existence of taxa not pre- ' Escuela de Biologia, Universidad Central de Venezuela. 2 The trip was financed by the Fundaci6n Creole, Caracas, Venezuela, and the Council Research Fund of the American Museum of Natural History. 2 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES NO. 1934 viously recognized. Not until rather exhaustive taxonomic studies have been completed can the zoogeographical and ecological problems be fully appreciated and worked out in detail.

    PHRYNOPS TUBEROSUS (NCN): DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOUR. Animals

    Natural History Notes PHRYNOPS TUBEROSUS (NCN): DEFENSIVE BEHAVIOUR. Animals use various strategies to remain less visible and to avoid predation, such as camouflage, aposematism, thanatosis, among others (e.g. Stevens & Merilaita, 2009). The high mortality of juveniles and hatchlings is an important part of turtles’ life history, since the young are preyed on by ants (Parris et al., 2002), fishes (Gyuris, 1994) and birds (Janzen et al., 2000). Behaviour that enables predator evasion is therefore key for survival; this note reports an example of a cryptic behaviour in a juvenile Phrynops tuberosus. The observation was made in May 2012, during a field expedition to Cedro’s dam, located in the municipality of Quixadá, Ceará, Figure 1. Juvenile of P. tuberosus partly buried. It Brazil. A juvenile P. tuberosus (carapace length is possible to observe the less evident orange spots = 6.44 cm) was captured under a bank of mainly on the animal’s left side and the accumulated floating macrophytes, marked by removal of a sludge and sand over the margins of the carapace and the neck.
