  • Reptile List
    AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES OF THE LOWER CRISTALINO RIVER REGION OF THE SOTHERN AMAZON INTRODUCTION 1 METHODS 1 THE HERPETOFAUNA 2 PART I - FROGS OF THE LOWER CRISTALINO RIVER AREA 4 PART II - REPTILES OF THE LOWER CRISTALINO RIVER AREA 5 INTRODUCTION The herpetological surveys in the Cristalino Region were based on a collaborative effort between the University of Oklahoma and the Universidade de Brasília. The project was initiated by Dr. Guarino Colli and his students as part of ongoing surveys of the Cerrado in general and the Cerrado-Amazon contact zones. Americans included Laurie J. Vitt, Janalee P. Caldwell, and Donald B. Shepard. Brazilians included Guarino R. Colli and Frederico G. R. França. Located in the northern part of the state of Mato Grosso and extending north into Pará, the lower Cristalino River region represents the southern-most portion of the Amazon rainforest. Situated below and south of the Serra do Cachimbo, the lower Cristalino River area is bordered to the north (partially) and south by open habitats. The landscape is hilly, with rocky outcrops interrupting rainforest on sides and tops of hills. Just north of Alta Floresta and south of our study sites, the Cristalino River drains into the Teles-Pires River, which in turn merges with the Juruena River to form one of the most beautiful rivers of the Amazon, the Tapajós River. To the northeast, the Tapajós River finally becomes part of the spectacular Amazon River, entering just east of Santarém. METHODS Pitfall arrays were used to capture most reptiles and many amphibians. Drift fences with funnel traps were used to capture many snakes and lizards.

Fitzgerald Committee Members, James R. Dixon Toby J. Hibbitts Ulrike Gretzel Head of Department, Thomas E. Lacher August 2009 Major Subject: Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences iii ABSTRACT Amphibian and Reptile Trade in Texas: Current Status and Trends. (August 2009) Heather Lee Prestridge, B.S., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Lee A. Fitzgerald The non-game wildlife trade poses a risk to our natural landscape, natural heritage, economy, and security. Specifically, the trade in non-game reptiles and amphibians exploits native populations, and is likely not sustainable for many species. Exotic amphibian and reptile species pose risk of invasion and directly or indirectly alter the native landscape. The extent of non-game amphibian and reptile trade is not fully understood and is poorly documented. To quantitatively describe the trade in Texas, I solicited data from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) Law Enforcement Management Information System (LEMIS) and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s (TPWD) non-game dealer permits.

Which of these categories a species falls into may be determined by a variety of factors, including temperature, and biogeographic location. In this study I analyzed diel activity patterns at 13 sites distributed around the world, encompassing a total of 901 species of reptile and amphibians. I compared these activity patterns to the absolute latitudes of each site and modeled diel behavior as a function of distance from the equator. I found that latitude does correlate with the presence of nocturnal snake and lizard species. However, I did not find significant results correlating latitude to any other reptile or amphibian lineage. INTRODUCTION Cycles of light and darkness are important for the activity and behaviors of many organisms, both eukaryotic and prokaryotic (Johnson et al.
