Ecologia reprodutiva de Hydromedusa tecifera (Testudines: Chelidae) no sul do Brasil

Abstract: The few available information on the reproductive behavior of Hydromedusa tectifera (Chelidae) are based on captive individuals. The H. tectifera reproductive biology was verified from 1996 to 2002 by non-systematic surveys in the Estação Ecológica do Taim, southern Brazil. Forty-six intact and damaged nests of the species were found. Mean clutch size was 11.6 eggs which exhibited a mean size of 36.5 x 23.9 mm and an average weight of 11.5 g. Individual mean eggs volume resulted an average of 10148.31 mm 3 . N… Show more

“…Fecundity selection may favor larger females (Stephens Wiens, 2009;Cebalos et al, 2013) therefore, large females in this species could have increased their reproductive output by producing larger clutches or offspring size. To our knowledge, only Fagundes Bager (2007) reported information on the reproductive ecology of H. tectifera in RS state. Clutch size of this species may reach about 12 eggs on average for a medium-sized turtle.…”

“…Knowledge of the ecology and biology of this species is punctual. Clutch size averaged 11.6 eggs per year at the Taim Ecological Station, extreme south of Brazil (Fagundes Bager, 2007). Population density may reach 218 individuals ha -1 and turtle peak of activity is in spring and summer in Argentina (Lescano et al, 2008) and Brazil.…”

“…Em contraste, H. tectifera permanece pouco conhecida (FAGUNDES;SOUZA, 2004). Entretanto, o conhecimento sobre os aspectos reprodutivos de H. maximiliani ainda é bastante incipiente (NOVELLI; SOUSA, 2007;SOUZA, 2004;GIRALDELLI;MARTINS, 2006).…”

“…Essas informações, em conjunto com as informações referentes a atividade reprodutiva da espécie, sugerem que o acasalamento ocorra entre o final de agosto e o início de setembro, o que tornaria os ovos visíveis aos raios-X no final de setembro (início da primavera), como constatado. , 1984), ou com a chegada de períodos de maior pluviosidade, como observado para as espécies acima citadas (SOUZA, 1995a;ABE, 1997a;GIRALDELLI, MARTINS, 2006), o que também é destacado por Kennett (1999) (FAGUNDES;. Souza (1995a) e Souza e Abe (1997a) mencionaram um período de incubação de aproximadamente 250 a 300 dias entre a postura e nascimento dos filhotes de Hydromedusa maximiliani, com base nas desovas com ocorrência entre janeiro e fevereiro e no encontro entre setembro e outubro de indivíduos recém-nascidos, cujos cascos não estavam totalmente ossificados e exibiam marcas da reabsorção do saco vitelínico no plastrão (MARTINS, 2006;SOUZA, 1995a, SOUZA, ABE, 1997a.…”
