A pré-eclâmpsia é uma complicação hipertensiva gestacional associada a desfechos adversos maternos e fetais. Evidências sugerem que mulheres com histórico dessa síndrome apresentam maior risco de desenvolver doenças cardiovasculares longo prazo, como hipertensão crônica, acidente vascular cerebral insuficiência cardíaca. Este estudo revisão buscou analisar relação entre saúde cardiovascular materna, avaliando importância do acompanhamento pós-parto na prevenção complicações futuras. Foram...
Theory predicts that susceptibility to disease in ectothermic hosts increases as temperatures depart from host's thermal optima, because pathogens have functionally broader tolerance ranges and acclimate faster than shifts temperature. Hence, adapted cooler warmer climates should be at greater risk of infection under abnormally warm cool conditions, respectively. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) is a chytrid fungus affects amphibians worldwide. In Brazil's Atlantic Forest, Bd outbreaks...
Anuran sound archives allow monitoring populations, studying animal communication, evolution, taxonomy, and natural history, besides evaluating historical events through the preservation of recordings. However, some these materials are being lost because they not deposited in archives. Thus, we investigated percentage herpetologists that do deposit their recordings, reason to so, number recordings financial funding lost. We observed nearly 80% catalogue sounds collect, resulting loss over...
Island Rule postulated that individuals on islands tend to dwarfism when from mainland populations are large and gigantism present small individuals. There has been much discussion about this rule, but only few studies were carried out aiming reveal pattern for anurans. Our study focused measuring the size of find a possible modification insular Individuals collected continental islands, measured compared populations. We selected four species with different natural history aspects during...
This study evaluates resistance to witches’ broom disease in flower cushions of T heobroma cacao under field conditions. The aim was determine optimal inoculation methods evaluate the incidence using field. A segregating mapping population 580 trees (cultivar TSH 1188 × CCN 51) analysed two conditions: high and low inoculum levels (in different years), corresponding respectively with or without dried brooms hanging on producing basidiocarps. number newly formed cushion each tree counted by...
Abstract Animals that present migration restrictions are especially interesting to study isolation effects in the context of island biogeography theory. Among these effects, behavioral traits one least studied subjects. The treefrog Boana albomarginata presents gigantism some Atlantic islands and, therefore, examining its advertisement calls may be an opportunity test Island Rule with a trait. Hence, we compared calls, body and tympanum sizes populations this species Brazilian mainland...
This work describes the diet of a population Adenomera thomei from rubber tree plantation within Atlantic Rainforest Brazil. Individuals were measured and treated with stomach flushing method. We assessed correlation between morphometric aspects contents compared electivity available invertebrate fauna in leaf litter. The most important item was Formicidae. found 2.48 prey items per stomach. Electivity highest for isopods. conclude that A. is sit-and-wait forager that, despite feeding mainly...
Abstract Thoropa miliaris is a frog species endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest, inhabiting wet rocky habitats. Males of this present nuptial excrescences, which are keratinized spines on surface some fingers and internal metacarpal tubercles. Although these usually associated with male adulthood, no details their development available. To investigate sequence spines' appearance, we correlated number size age, was estimated by skeletochronology. We studied individuals collected from...
Anurans of the genus Brachycephalus are among smallest vertebrates in world, due to an extreme process miniaturization. As example this process, species show loss fingers, eardrum and middle ear, bone fusions, presence paravertebral plates parotic plaque. However, no studies addressing consequences miniaturization on internal organs, such as lungs heart, currently available. Thus, study aimed investigate if overall small body size has affected cardiorespiratory system. We investigated, via...
Animal communication consists of signal production and perception, which are crucial for social interactions. The main form used by anurans is auditory communication, in most cases produced as advertisement calls. Furthermore, sound perception happens mainly through an external tympanic membrane, plays important role behavior. In this study, we evaluated the influence body membrane sizes on call frequency across phylogeny anurans.We use data snout-vent length, diameter, dominant from...
Anuran malformations are rarely reported to occur with high frequencies in natural populations. However, there is consensus that they can be caused by several factors. Herein, we report Rhinella ornata toads from land-bridge islands and compare their frequency those of mainland populations Rio de Janeiro. All showed levels malformation significantly higher than the threshold 5%, one islands, Ilha Grande—which largest, farthest coast, has been isolated for longest time—had highest...
Abstract Anurans are one of the most diverse groups animals, with single and multi-modal communication forms commonly used to settle disputes over territory attract females. Thus, I aimed evaluate if male white-edged treefrogs tend attack smaller individuals which morphometric factor is related it. Advertisement calls this species were recorded in a four-choice experiment emission artificially designed calls. evaluated speaker approached variables could predict observed that significantly...
Plasticine models are often used to test hypotheses related defensive colourations. However, the behaviour of natural predators is hardly ever examined in these experiments, which can lead imperfect conclusions about interactions. Accordingly, we ran an experiment whether plasticine efficient tool Batesian mimicry, aposematism and camouflage hypotheses, using Atlantic forest snakes as a model group. We made 150 non-toxic simulacra four snake species two generic models. placed cameras traps...
Advertisement calls are the main communication form of anurans, and other individuals can use it to evaluate several aspects calling individual. In this context, environmental disturbances, such as traffic noise, potentially affect recognition. Therefore, study aims response Aplastodiscus leucopygius noise in a fragment Atlantic Forest within city São Paulo. The experimentation consisted recording individual previously, during after an exposure urban noise. After that, were measured Scaled...
