Anomalias ósseas congênitas em Sotalia guianensis (Mammalia, Cetacea, Delphinidae) da costa centro-norte do Estado do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract: Carcaças de botos-cinza Sotalia guianensis (van Bénéden, 1864) foram recuperadas entre 20 de agosto de 2001 e 13 de fevereiro de 2006, na costa centro-norte fluminense. A maior parte delas (85%) entre Barra de São João (22º35'S 41º59'W) e Quissamã (22º06'S 41º28'W). Foram estudadas as colunas vertebrais dos 20 exemplares que apresentavam mais de 60% das vértebras presentes. A coleção é formada por 75% de animais imaturos, e todos os esqueletos mostram alterações tafonômicas mínimas. Duas categorias de anomalia… Show more

“…However, observations of the cervical vertebrae in specimens of S. guianensis from other locations in South America confirm that an open neural process may also occur in the Ce7 in 19 to 30% of all individuals of this species (n = 222) (unpublished data) and as much as 20% of S. fluviatilis individuals (n = 31). Thus, the open neural canal in Ce3, Ce4, and Ce7 observed here is interpreted as a commonly observed feature in the two species of Sotalia, rather than a congenital malformation as suggested by van Bressem et al (2007) and Laeta et al (2010).…”

“…Skeletal abnormalities are well documented in many species of cetaceans from around the world, including both dolphins and whales (e.g. de Smet 1977, Peterson 1984, Alexander et al 1989, Kompanje 1999, Fragoso 2001, Montes et al 2004, Van Bressem et al 2006, Laeta et al 2010a. The great majority of the research on cetacean skeletal abnormalities has been conducted on species from the Northern Hemisphere (Peterson 1984, Kinze 1986, Alexander et al 1989, Kompanje 1996, 1999, Van Bressem et al 2006, Galatius et al 2009, Fettuccia et al 2013 and some on species of northern South America (Ramos et al 2001, Montes et al 2004, Van Bressem et al 2007, Laeta et al 2010a.…”

“…Bony lesions in cetaceans are well documented mainly for some Northern Hemisphere species (Kompanje 1995a,b, Galatius et al 2009), but limited information is available about bony lesions in cetaceans of the Southern Hemisphere, including Peale's dolphin (Fragoso 2001, Ramos et al 2001, Montes et al 2004, Van Bressem et al 2006, Laeta et al 2010a,b, Fettuccia et al 2013). The Museo Acatushún holds the world's largest collection of Peale's dolphin, and the aim of this work is to describe and quantify the osseous lesions found in this species.…”
