“…The richness of frog species recorded in the present study for Baixada do Maciambu is similar when compared to preliminary species lists for the restingas of Maricá (14 species) (Britto-Pereira et al 1988), Jurubatiba (10 species) and Marambaia (12 species, considered only for restinga area) (Silva et al 2008), all in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The total species richness recorded in a study comparing ten different restinga habitats in the states of Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, and Bahia was 28, but considering the number of species recorded for each locality, the one with the highest richness was Praia das Neves, in the state of Espírito Santo, with 13 species (Rocha et al 2008).…”

“…The greatest number of frog species recorded in restingas until now was reported from Mata São João in the state of Bahia, with 30 species (Bastazini et al 2007), followed by Parque Estadual de Itapeva, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, with 28 species (Colombo et al 2008) and, the Juréia-Itatins Ecological Station, state of São Paulo, with 20 species (Narvaes et al 2009). In terms of species richness, the family Hylidae was the most representative in the restinga of Baixada do Maciambu (Table 1), as well as in other restinga environments in Brazil Bastazini et al 2007;Colombo et al 2008;Silva et al 2008;Narvaes et al 2009). Carvalhoe- Silva et al (2000) listed 52 frog species occurring in restingas of eastern Brazil; here we add to their list the species Dendropsophus werneri (Figure 1D), Elachistocleis bicolor ( Figure 2F), Leptodactylus gracilis ( Figure 2D), Odontophrynus maisuma ( Figure 1B), Physalaemus cuvieri ( Figure 2C), Phyllomedusa distincta (figure 1G), Scinax granulatus ( Figure 2B), and Sphaenorhynchus caramaschii, recorded by us at the Baixada do Maciambu.…”

Little is known about amphibian communities on Brazilian restingas (coastal sand dune scrublands). This study presents a first approximation to the list of anuran species from the restinga of Baixada do Maciambu, Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. We sampled using three methods (pitfall traps with drift fences, transect of active search, and surveys at breeding sites) from July 2007 to April 2010. We recorded 15 species in six families, of which Hylidae was represented by the greatest number of species. Compared to other Brazilian restinga habitats, the species richness we recorded at the Baixada do Maciambu is similar to that reported for restingas of Rio de Janeiro state, but lower than that reported for restingas in São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul and Bahia states, Brazil.

“…Several points indicate the relevance of this island in preserving the fauna: (1) the occurrence of Vampyrodes caraccioli, only known in Atlantic Forest in Southern Bahia (Faria et al, 2006), and on this island (Bezerra et al, 2004;Peracchi and Nogueira, 2008; this work); (2) two species included in the Brazilian endangered Species List, Platyrrhinus recifinus and Lonchophylla bokermanni (Machado et al, 2005); (3) a recent survey of lizards demonstrated the occurrence of 12 species, with one endangered species, Cnemidophorus littoralis (Rocha, Araújo, Vrcibradic and Costa, 2000) (Carvalho et al, 2007) and (iv) a extensive survey confirmed 24 species of anurans, with one endemic to the island, Leptodactylus marambaiae Izecksohn, 1976 (Izecksohn andCarvalhoe-Silva, 2001) and the Ilha da Marambaia represents the southernmost limit to two species Rhinella pygmaea (Myers and Carvalho, 1952) and Xenohyla truncata (Izecksohn, 1959) (Silva et al, 2008).…”

Few sites have been well sampled for bats, and samplings in islands are even scarcer. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were: (1) to list the bat species of Ilha da Marambaia; (2) to compare richness, abundance and biomass of bat guilds found there; (3) to analyse abundance patterns of bat species; and (4) to compare richness, abundance and composition of the bat fauna among different kinds of environment. To capture bats we used mist nets set in five different environments, totalising 3559.2 net-hours, during 37 nights between October 2006 and August 2008. A total of 1,133 captures were accomplished, comprising 34 species from five families. The most abundant species was Molossus molossus. Frugivorous bats exhibited higher richness, abundance and biomass if compared to other guilds. Most species (N = 22) exhibited abundances between 1 to 10% of all captures. Sixteen species were restricted to just one of the environments sampled. The high richness may be attributed to sampling carried out in several environments, and to the capture of insectivorous species over water bodies.Keywords: abundance, captures, sampling effort, survey methods. Diversidade de morcegos da Ilha da Marambaia, Sul do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil (Chiroptera, Mammalia) ResumoPoucos são os locais satisfatoriamente amostrados para morcegos e menos ainda as ilhas. Os objetivos deste estudo foram listar as espécies de morcegos da Ilha da Marambaia, comparar a riqueza, abundância e biomassa das guildas de morcegos encontradas, analisar o padrão de abundância das espécies de morcegos e comparar a riqueza, abundância e composição entre os diferentes ambientes amostrados. O método de amostragem consistiu do uso de redes de neblina armadas em cinco ambientes diferentes, totalizando 3559,2 redes-hora, em 37 noites entre outubro de 2006 e agosto de 2008. Foram obtidas 1.133 capturas, compreendendo 34 espécies de cinco famílias. A espécie mais abundante foi Molossus molossus. Os frugívoros apresentaram maior riqueza, abundância e biomassa. A maior parte das espécies (N = 22) apresentou abundâncias entre 1 e 10% do total de capturas. Dezesseis espécies foram restritas a apenas um dos ambientes amostrados. A elevada riqueza encontrada pode ser atribuída à realização de coletas em vários ambientes, e a captura de espécies insetívoras sobre a água.Palavras-chave: abundância, capturas, esforço amostral, métodos de amostragem.

“…For example, the number of studies concerning the composition of local amphibian and reptile fauna have also increased in this period in the state of Rio de Janeiro (e.g., Rocha and Van Sluys, 2006;Carvalho et al, 2007;Carvalho-e-Silva et al, 2000;Rocha et al, 2008;Silva et al, 2008;Pontes et al, 2009;Almeida-Gomes et al, 2008. Nevertheless, more long-term studies are still necessary in order to provide enough knowledge about the herpetofaunal diversity in this state.…”

The Atlantic Rain forest, which is considered the second largest pluvial forest in the American continent, has had an estimated 93% of its original area destroyed. Although studies concerning the herpetofaunal diversity in this biome have been intensified in the past years, its diversity is still underestimated. The Nucleo Experimental de Iguaba Grande (NEIG) is included in an Environmental Protection Area (APA de Sapeatiba) in the Iguaba Grande municipality, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil (22° 51' S and 42° 10' W). The goal of this study was to conduct an inventory of the reptile and amphibian species that occur in this area between July 2008 and December 2009. We recorded 19 species of amphibians (18 anurans and one caecilian) and 15 species of reptiles (three lizards, 11 snakes and one amphisbaenian). Leptodactylus latrans and L. mystacinus had the highest capture rates among amphibians captured, and among reptiles, Ameiva ameiva, Hemidactylus mabouia and Mabuya agilis had the highest capture rates. Rarefaction curves for both amphibians and reptiles did not reach the asymptote, indicating that the species richness in the NEIG is still underestimated.
