We describe a new species of Leptophis (parrot snake) from the Cerrado ecoregion Brazil. The species, L . mystacinus sp. nov., differs all other congeners in following unique character combination: two Spectrum Green (129) to Light Parrot (133) dorsolateral stripes separated by Buff (5) vertebral stripe, usually continuous onto tail; loreal scale absent; postocular stripe Jet Black (300), wide and long (up 11 scales nuchal region); maxillary teeth 21–25; ventrals 158–173; subcaudals 141–164;...
Abstract Studying species interactions in nature often requires elaborated logistics and intense fieldwork. The difficulties such task might hinder our ability to answer questions on how biotic change with the environment. Fortunately, a workaround this problem lies within scientific collections. For some animals, inspection of preserved specimens can reveal scars past antagonistic encounters, as predation attempts. A common defensive behaviour that leaves animals is autotomy, loss body...
Abstract: Herein, we provide the first comprehensive amphibian checklist for State of Tocantins, North Brazil, based on field sampling, literature data, and specimens deposited in zoological collections. We performed surveys from 2012 to 2019 12 Tocantins municipalities, totaling 376 days sampling effort. analyzed 25 papers examined 1311 collections collected 750 during surveys. recorded 90 species distributed anurans two caecilians families. At least seven undescribed along state were...
Species identification plays a significant role in biodiversity conservation. As many species remain unrecognized, particularly neotropical hotspots like the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (AF), novel molecular techniques are being widely employed to bridge this gap. In study, we used DNA barcoding and phylogenetic tools identify new population of Sphaenorynchus canga central region AF. Our results extend species’ known distribution by approximately 200 km south, encompassing different mountain...
Snake envenomation is considered a public health problem in tropical countries, where they occur high incidence. The present study reports the snake that occurred Mato Grosso do Sul state (Brazil) between 2007 and 2017. Epidemiological data were obtained from online platform of Notification Disease Information System analyzed according to biome. A total 5568 cases envenomations recorded during period, highest frequency was registered October April. majority working-age males (20 39 years),...
A new species of frog the genus Odontophrynus is described from grassland subtropical regions Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay based on morphological, osteological, bioacoustical, cytogenetic, molecular evidence. The characterized by having medium size; rostral eye-nostril glandular warts well developed; several long ridges, longitudinally oriented, dorsum; medium-sized, nearly rounded, dark-brown dorsal blotches; light mid-dorsal stripe continuous defined or restricted to head urostyle...
Anurans emit a variety of acoustic signals in different behavioral contexts during the breeding season. The release call is signal produced by frog when it inappropriately clasped another frog. In family Phyllomedusidae, this type known only for Pithecophusayeaye . Here we describe four species: Phyllomedusabahiana , P.sauvagii Pithecopusrohdei and P.nordestinus based on recordings field. calls these species consist multipulsed note. Smaller Pithecopus genus ( P.ayeaye P.rohdei ), presented...
Background Studies with integrative approaches (based on different lines of evidence) are fundamental for understanding the diversity organisms. Different data sources can improve taxonomy and evolution snakes. We used this approach to verify taxonomic status Hydrodynastes gigas (Duméril, Bibron & Duméril, 1854), given its wide distribution throughout South America, including validity recently described melanogigas Franco, Fernandes Bentim, 2007. Methods performed a phylogenetic analysis...
As many new evolutionary lineages are being discovered and formally named, sequencing topotypes when holotypes not available becomes essential for taxonomy. This study uses a DNA-taxonomy approach to sequence populations of the Ischnocnema verrucosa species complex (Brazilian Wart Frogs) from different locations, including, first time, individuals type localities. Phylogenetic analysis mitochondrial 16S gene recovered monophyletic series composed three main clades. The most recent common...
The increased attention on strengthening resilience through disaster risk governance in international humanitarian and local communities brings the need for further development of theoretical empirical tools. This research describes a balance scorecard tool assessing reduction (DR3) with focus risks floods, droughts heatwaves. It aims to support integration monitoring climate adaptation, sustainability into planning different locations, prioritizing most vulnerable communities, assets,...
Population Medicine considers the following types of articles:• Research Papers -reports data from original research or secondary dataset analyses.• Review -comprehensive, authoritative, reviews within journal's scope.These include both systematic and narrative reviews.• Short Reports -brief reports research.• Policy Case Studies articles on policy development at a regional national level.• Study Protocols -articles describing protocol study.• Methodology -papers that present different...
The Blacksmith Tree Frog Boana faber (Wied-Neuwied, 1821) is a large-sized species that inhabits water bodies in forested and open environments the Atlantic Forest, from northeastern Argentina to eastern Brazil (Faivovich et al. 2005; Haddad 2013).The vocalization of this resembles hammering blacksmith males have prepollex with spine resembling thumb, which used combat other males.The reproduction involves mud nests constructed by at edges (Martins, 1993; Maffei & Ubaid, 2014).Despite some...
