Ecologia de Tropidurus torquatus (Sauria: Tropiduridae) da Restinga de Guriri, São Mateus, ES

Abstract: Ecology of Tropidurus torquatus (Sauria: Tropiduridae) of a sandy coastal plain of Guriri, São Mateus, ES, southeastern BrazilEcological aspects of the collared lizard, Tropidurus torquatus, were studied monthly in a sandy coastal plain of southeastern Brazil, from February 1996 to March 1997. We collected 108 specimens using a pressure gun, of which 45 were males, 56 females, and 7 specimens which sex was not possible to identify. The snout vent length (SVL) ranged from 26.0 to 101.8 mm (mean = 61.7 mm; SD = … Show more

“…This diet composition is similar to that of other Tropidurids (colli et al, 1992;Van sluys, 1993;teixeiRa & gioVanelli, 1999;fialHo et al, 2000;faRia & aRaújo, 2004;meiRa et al, 2007). Nevertheless, seasonal variations in diet are expected in species that live in habitats in which local productivity is subject to humidity (janZen & scHoeneR, 1968;ballingeR & ballingeR, 1979) and rainfall cycles (RocHa, 1994;Van sluys, 1995) like the Caatingas (ab'sábeR, 1974).…”

“…Os Isopoda ingeridos variaram de 3,78 a 10,8mm, os Formicidae de 1,25 a 18mm e as larvas entre 6 a 32,3mm, sendo que, do total dos itens ingeridos, 72% apresentaram comprimento inferior a 8mm. Segundo MAGNUSSON et al (1985), o grande número de presas na dieta de lagartos de forrageamento mais ativo, reduz o tamanho médio destas presas e, conforme TEIXEIRA & GIOVANELLI (1999), investindo em pequenas presas, a espécie economiza energia.…”

“…Para Tropidurus algumas informações sobre hábitos alimentares, uso de hábitat, atividade, reprodução, dinâmica populacional, comportamento entre outros fatores estão disponíveis para algumas espécies (e.g. Colli et al 1992, Vitt et al 1996, Teixeira & Giovanelli 1999, Van-Sluys et al 2004, Pinto et al 2005, Kiefer et al 2007). Porém, é sempre interessante buscar novos conhecimentos para espécies de ampla distribuição geográfica, em diferentes localidades e condições ambientais.…”
