Podocnemis sextuberculata is cited as "vulnerable" on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List due to a decline in its population result intensive exploitation pressure throughout range. Understanding effects environmental characteristics and human activities turtle populations essential improve current conservation programs. We analyzed abundance lower Amazon, where management experiment under way, by comparing neighboring areas with without community-based (CBM)...

Abstract Large predators have disproportionate effects on their underlying food webs. Thus, appropriately assigning trophic positions has important conservation implications both for the themselves and prey. Large-bodied are often referred to as apex predators, implying that they many levels above primary producers. However, theoretical considerations predict higher lower position with increasing body size. Nitrogen stable isotope values ( δ 15 N) increasingly replacing stomach contents or...
Amazon river turtles are increasingly threatened by habitat loss and alteration due to the Brazilian energy policy based on construction of hydroelectric dams, meanwhile, populational studies remain scarce. We described population structure, established body allometric relationships Podocnemis unifilis in Terra do Meio Ecological Station Iriri River, tributary Xingu River upstream Belo Monte dam under Turtles were captured hand net diving 2012 2013 dry seasons, rainy season. A total 728...
The nesting site selected by a female turtle influences the temperature and humidity of incubating eggs, which affects development, survival, sex embryo subsequent developmental phases. present study evaluated effects environmental variables on duration incubation, hatching success, ratio hatchlings Podocnemis unifilis in an area várzea swamp lower Amazon River Brazil, during 2007 2009 seasons. Nests were located, marked, monitored, physical characteristics measured. nests was measured,...
A água é um componente indispensável para a vida no planeta, hoje sabe-se que maior parte do planeta terra composto por água. Contudo, apenas 3% com potencial de utilização humana, o restante salgada. Quando se trata qualidade consumo humano, deve-se entender esta não limita em ser doce ou salgada, uma boa humano aquela oferece riscos à saúde quem consome, seus parâmetros básicos como cor, gosto, turbidez, pH e microbiológico estejam dentro dos padrões potabilidade estabelecidos pela...
In reptiles, the hatching and emergence of a single clutch may be synchronized or take place over number days, weeks, even months, depending primarily on microenvironment nest. The present study focused patterns Podocnemis unifilis hatchlings in an area várzea floodplain lower Amazon River Santarém, Brazilian state Pará, 2007 2009. Two groups nests were monitored for emergence, with one group being undisturbed during entire period. difference between oviposition–hatching...
Abstract The reproductive ecology of a species is key focus conservation planning efforts as it offers insights into how the persists and adapts to its environment. Yellow-Spotted River Turtle, Podocnemis unifilis (Troschel,1848), has wide distribution within Amazon region generalist in nesting site choice. Monitoring habits this turtle essential understand resilience populations evaluate impact environmental disruptions. This study aimed assess factors affect hatching rate, nest loss, sex...
Neste artigo, dissertamos sobre a relação dos povos tradicionais e gestão de fauna silvestre na Amazônia Brasileira, como os marcos legais que regem o tema são subutilizados quais as perspectivas para futuro do manejo conservação dessas espécies. Abordamos também ocorre marginalização quanto ao uso recursos naturais faunísticos, com enfoque nos quelônios aquáticos amazônicos, Poder Público pode agir no sentido garantir tais direitos. Concluímos consumo amazônicos é uma realidade um direito...
Podocnemis expansa is the only freshwater turtle species that presents a social nesting behavior in South America, where thousands of females congregate on beaches. We recorded death 15 were found fully or partially buried by other at gregarious site from 2013 to 2017 2 beaches Tabuleiro Monte Cristo, Pará, Brazil; another rescued while still alive. This first study quantify and record biometrical information females' deaths not caused predation harvesting area.
