“…The record in PNSCo expands its distribution on approximately 270 km northwest of the type locality (Vanzolini 1991); and highlights an historical event of sand contact with southwestern Piauí and São Francisco Dunes as mentioned above. Finally, Hoplocercus spinosus is a typical Cerrado species that also occurs in contact areas with forested biomes.…”

Different physiognomies at Parque Nacional da Serra das Confusões (PNSCo) were intensively sampled aiming to access the distribution pattern of its herpetofauna. Sixty six species were found in the park (47 reptiles and 19 amphibians); the rarefaction curve for lizards, although not fully stabilized in an asymptote, indicates that the sampling effort was enough to reveal most lizard species occurring in the area; and richness estimators recovered values close to observed. For amphibians, the curve shows a weak tendency to stabilization with richness estimators indicating that additional records could be done. Field work carried out at PNSCo has highlighted an unique herpetofauna: five new species were described and there are three candidates as new species. The regional list including Cerrados's units - Estação Ecológica Serra Geral do Tocantins (EESGT) and Estação Ecológica de Uruçuí-Una (EEUU) with Caatinga's ones - PNSCo and Parque Nacional da Serra da Capivara (PNSCa), shows a high herpetofaunal diversity (191 species) to the region. The cluster analysis recovered the Cerrados's units and Caatinga's ones, in separate clusters evidencing a species turnover between domains, despite its geographical proximity. Thus, although there is widespread fauna throughout region shared by the units, each reserve holds its own faunal identity, harboring a singular assemblage of species.

“…Bronia saxosa difere das demais três espécies do gênero por possuir nasais pequenas, separadas pela rostral, e pelas seguintes contagens de escamas: Duas regressões foram pesquisadas: do comprimento da cauda e da largura da cabeça sobre o comprimento corporal (Tabela 2). Ambas estimam o grau de atenuação do corpo (Vanzolini, 1991a). A regressão do comprimento da cauda sobre o comprimento do corpo mostrou-se excelente no caso das fêmeas (r² = 0.9320), e não tão boa no caso dos machos (r² = 0.5840).…”

“…Estudos demonstram que existe uma relação entre os tipos de habitat utilizados pelas diferentes espécies de crocodilianos e sua susceptibilidade à extinção, sendo que para algumas delas a conservação dos ambientes aquáticos parece ser relativamente suficiente para a manutenção das espécies (Magnusson, 1986;1995). No entanto, os impactos causados pela alteração das condições naturais de bacias hidrográficas (e.g.…”
