A fauna de vertebrados do campus da Universidade Estadual de Londrina, região norte do estado do Paraná, Brasil

Abstract

ResumoEste trabalho teve como objetivo fazer um levantamento da fauna de vertebrados do campus da Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL), pela compilação da literatura, com vistas a auxiliar o seu manejo e preservação. Foram registradas 250 espécies, sendo nove de peixes, 15 de anfíbios, 16 de répteis, 32 de mamíferos e 178 de aves. Duas espécies, o gato-do-mato Leopardus tigrinus e a jandaia-de-testa-vermelha Aratinga auricapillus figuram em listas de fauna ameaçada de extinção. A maioria das espécies, no entanto, não é estenóica ou endêmica da área, o que condiz com um ambiente perturbado e muito freqüentado pela população humana. O assoreamento do ribeirão Esperança, a redução de áreas verdes e a impermeabilização do solo podem reduzir a diversidade de espécies em médio a longo prazos. Palavras-chave: Actinopterygii. Aves.

AbstractThis work had the objective to make a survey of vertebrates' fauna from Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL) campus, for the compilation of literature, in order to help its management and preservation. 250 species were identified, being nine of fish, 15 of amphibians, 16 of reptiles, 32 of mammals and 178 of birds. Two species, the gato-do-mato Leopardus tigrinus and the jandaia-da-testavermelha Aratinga auricapillus, are in the list of species threatened by extinction. Most species, however, are not stenoecious or endemic to the area, which corresponds to an environment under stress and often visited by humans. Despite UEL's rich diversity of wild animals, the burying of stream Esperança, the reduction of green areas and waterproofing of the ground can reduce de diversity of species in a medium or long term.

Occurrence of gastrointestinal and renal helminths inZenaida auriculata (Des Murs, 1847) trap-captured from Brazil

“…This dove is popularly known as the eared dove (CÂNDIDO et al, 2008;SHIBATTA et al, 2009) and is found in fields, farms and urban areas (CÂNDIDO et al, 2008), where it can cause damage and potentially transmit pathogens (SHIBATTA et al, 2009).…”

First molecular detection of Eimeria spp. in eared doves (Zenaida auriculata) from Brazil

“…The bigger the population, the higher amount of feces to be in contact with, the most birds can be affected. As these birds live in flocks (Adriano & Cordeiro, 2001;Shibatta et al, 2009), they can get infected rapidly from themselves and keep the Eimeria in the population.…”

“…It belongs to the family Columbidae, which comprises over than 300 avian species worldwide (Jamriška & Modrý, 2012). In Londrina region, it has been described 10 Columbidae species, including Z. auriculata (Shibatta et al, 2009).…”

First study of Cryptosporidium spp. occurrence in eared doves (Zenaida auriculata)

“…Zenaida auriculata (Columbiforme) is endemic from Antilles to Tierra del Fuego, including Brazil. This dove is popularly known as the eared dove and is found in fields, farms, and urban areas (CÂNDIDO et al, 2008), where it can cause damage and potentially transmit pathogens (SHIBATTA et al, 2009).…”
