“…x-signatus which we do not consider as a leaf litter inhabitant). Most of those species are typical constituents of anuran communities in the leaf litter floor of Atlantic Forest areas in southeastern Brazil (e.g., ROCHA et al 2000, ALMEIDA-GOMES et al 2008, SIQUEIRA et al 2009, ARAÚJO et al 2009). However, the hylodid C. aeneus is typically found in association with streams (JORDÃO-NOGUEIRA et al 2006), and the only individual recorded during our study was found in a plot set ca.…”

“…Tadpoles of this Centrolenidae species were collected in stream stretches located on Santa Marta Farm (CG1) and at Dog (CG2), outside the area destined to the Biological Reserve of Japi Mountain. From the data published by Ribeiro et al (2005) and Araújo et al (2009), it is verified that Japi Mountain contributes to the preservation of approximately 14% (31 out of 225 species) of anuran amphibians recorded in São Paulo state (Table 4).…”

Preservation of terrestrial fauna and flora has been the main reason for the settlement of most protected areas in the past 30 years, but although those areas may include water bodies, this does not necessarily mean that the biodiversity of freshwater environments are also protected. In the present study, the fauna inventory of eight streams (1 st , 2 nd , 4 th and 5 th orders) of three microbasins of Japi Mountain, a Biosphere Reserve of Atlantic Forest recognised by UNESCO since 1994, located in São Paulo state, southeast of Brazil, was conducted. The hypothesis of this study is that the conservation of this area is important for the maintenance of the aquatic biodiversity of this biome, and so, this world hotspot deserves priority conservation actions. From 2005 to 2007, benthic macroinvertebrates, fishes and, eventually, anuran amphibians were sampled in these streams. The results showed that Japi Mountain contributes to the conservation of 138 taxonomic units of the aquatic biota and covers a rich and representative biodiversity of freshwater fauna of the world (0.2%), Neotropical region (0.9%), Brazil (2.4%) and São Paulo state (17.9%). The studied streams in the Environmental Protection Area help protect endangered taxa like the fishes Neoplecostomus paranensis and Pareiorhina cf rudolphi, and shelter freshwater invertebrates and fishes whose distribution is restricted to the Brazilian territory. Japi Mountain is also an important haven of species that was missing there like the frog species Vitreorana eurygnatha. Thus, this species inventory emphasises the importance of conservation actions of the freshwater environments of this Biosphere Reserve of Atlantic Forest.Keywords: amphibians, freshwater, fish, invertebrates, protected areas. A importância de uma Reserva da Biosfera da Mata Atlântica para a Conservação da Fauna de Riachos ResumoA conservação da fauna e flora terrestres tem sido a principal razão para o estabelecimento da maioria das áreas protegidas nos últimos 30 anos, porém, apesar de muitas destas áreas apresentarem corpos d'água, isto não significa necessariamente que a biodiversidade dos ambientes dulcícolas também estará protegida. No presente trabalho foi realizado o levantamento da fauna de oito riachos (1ª, 2ª, 4ª e 5ª ordens) de três microbacias da Serra do Japi, localizada no estado de São Paulo e reconhecida como Reserva da Biosfera da Mata Atlântica pela UNESCO desde 1994. A hipótese do estudo é de que a conservação desta área seja de grande importância para a manutenção de sua biodiversidade aquática, comprovando assim a necessidade de ações prioritárias de conservação deste bioma.

“…Furthermore, this record extends the known distribution of H. caingua in 155 km (linear distance) northward from the nearest occurrence in Mato Grosso do Sul state, recorded in the municipality of Naviraí (Aoki et al, 2010). Despite the limited knowledge about the biology and ecology of H. caingua (e.g., Melo et al, 2007;Kolenc et al, 2008;Brassaloti et al, 2010), the species appears to be predominantly associated with the Atlantic Forest domain in the São Paulo state (Araújo et al, 2009;Condez et al, 2009;Rossa-Feres et al, 2011). However, the species had already been recorded in open area formations in São Paulo state, i.e.…”

Implementing new northernmost records to modelling the distribution of Hypsiboas caingua (Anura: Hylidae) in South America

New northwestern records of the striped treefrog Hypsiboas caingua (Carrizo, 1991(Carrizo, "1990 are presented for Brazil, extending its known geographic distribution approximately 115 km northward (linear distance) of the previous northernmost record of the species. In all new localities, individuals of H. caingua were only found in calling activity under temperatures below 18ºC. The species appears to be associated with Atlantic Forest, although it had already been recorded in Cerrado. Although the scientific literature data suggests that H. caingua presents discontinuous geographical distribution, three methods of distribution modelling based on climatic data show that the species' distribution is continuous. The gap in the distribution may be related to the lack of field surveys in the regions that connect these populations, especially in colder periods. Nevertheless, factors other than climate might also be responsible for the current distribution of H. caingua, since the species was absent in well-surveyed sites situated between the areas of modeled distribution. Therefore, further studies on natural history, populations' genetic structure, and geographic distribution models implementing factors other than climate will be important to elucidate some ecological and evolutionary aspects of the distribution of H. caingua in South America.Keywords: Central-Southern Brazil, Cerrado, striped treefrog, species distribution modelling (SDM), low temperatures. Uso de novos registros ao norte para a modelagem de distribuição deHypsiboas caingua (Anura: Hylidae) na América do Sul ResumoNovos registros da perereca Hypsiboas caingua (Carrizo, 1991(Carrizo, "1990 são apresentados para o noroeste do Brasil, ampliando sua distribuição geográfica em aproximadamente 115 km ao norte (distância linear) em relação ao registro anterior setentrional da espécie. Em todas as novas localidades, indivíduos de H. caingua foram apenas encontrados vocalizando sob temperaturas abaixo de 18 ºC. A espécie aparenta estar associada com a Mata Atlântica, embora já tenha sido registrada no Cerrado. Apesar de dados da literatura científica sugerirem que H. caingua apresente distribuição geográfica descontínua, os três métodos de modelagem de distribuição, baseados em dados climáticos demonstram que a distribuição da espécie é contínua. A lacuna na distribuição pode estar relacionada à ausência de levantamentos de campo nas regiões que conectam essas populações, principalmente em períodos frios. Contudo, outros fatores além do climático também podem ser responsáveis pela atual distribuição de H. caingua, visto a ausência da espécie em locais bem amostrados situados entre as áreas de distribuição modeladas. Portanto, mais estudos sobre a história natural, genética de populações e modelos de distribuição geográfica que abordem outros fatores além do clima, serão importantes para elucidar alguns aspectos ecológicos e evolucionários da distribuição de H. caingua na América do Sul.Palavras-chave: Centro-Sul do Brasil, Cerrado, striped treefro...
