Conservation Genetics of the Giant Otter
Conservation genetics of the giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis (Zimmerman, 1780)) (Carnivora, Mustelidae) Garcia, DM.a, Marmontel, M.b, Rosas, FW.c and Santos, FR.a* aDepartamento de Biologia Geral, Instituto de Ciências Biológicas, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais – UFMG, Av. Antônio Carlos, 6627, CP 486, CEP 31270-010, Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil bInstituto de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Mamirauá – IDSM, Tefé, AM, Brazil cInstituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia – INPA, Manaus, AM, Brazil *e-mail: [email protected] Received April 2, 2007 – Accepted July 24, 2007 – Distributed December 1, 2007 (With 3 figures) Abstract The giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis) is an aquatic mammal of the Mustelidae family, endemic to South America. Its original distribution corresponds to the region from the Guyanas to Central-North Argentina, but it is extinct or on the verge of extinction in most of its historical range. Currently, the species is considered endangered by the World Conservation Union (IUCN). Based on its geographic distribution in the South American continent and on some morphological characters, two subspecies were suggested: P. brasiliensis brasiliensis, occurring in the Amazon and Orinoco River Basins, and P. brasiliensis paranensis, in the Paraná and Paraguai River Basins. However, there is no consensus on assuming this subspecies division and no detailed studies have been carried out to elucidate this question. This study aims to evaluate the genetic diversity and population structure of Pteronura brasiliensis along its range in Brazil to check the possibility of the existence of two distinct subspecies using also a reciprocal monophyly criterion. We analyzed the control region, and the Cytochrome b and Cytochrome c Oxidase subunit I genes of the mitochondrial DNA in several giant otter populations from the Amazon and Paraguai River Basins. -
The Beef Cattle Industry in the Roraima Savannas a Potential Supply for Brazil's North
The Beef Cattle Industry in the Roraima Savannas A Potential Supply for Brazil's North By THOMAS FISK KELSEY A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE COUNCIL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 1972 UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 3 1262 08666 410 8 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The experience of conducting field research and writing a doctoral dissertation has no equal. The opportunity and privilege of living on the frontier of northern Brazil has been one that I shall never forget. To the warm, friendly people of Brazil I express my heartfelt thanks. I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to many individuals in many places. The leadership, guidance and encouragement offered by Professor Raymond E. Crist, Chairman of my Ph.D. Committee, is impossible to record with proper thanks. With- out his efforts and enthusiasm this study would not have seen the light of day. Profound appreciation is therefore- grate- fully acknowledged. To the members of my Committee, Dr. David L. Niddrie, Dr. W. W. Mcpherson, and Dr. Hugh L. Popenoe, I express my appreciation for their help and encouragement, each in his own constructive way. I thank Dr. E. E. Hegen who originally suggested Roraima as a possible study area. The teaching of the Portuguese language and the genuine concern shown by Pro- fessor Alfred Hower and Professor Richard Preto-Rodas are sincerely appreciated. ii . From my experience in Brazil, there is an endless list of people to whom I would like to express my gratitude for their friendship, help and interest in the study. -
