Anfíbios de Uma Área de Castanhal da Reserva Extrativista do Rio Cajari, Amapá

Abstract

Amphibians of an area of castanhal of River Cajari's Reservation Extrativista, Amapá. This study had for objective to determine the wealth and abundance of species of amphibians of a castanhal, located in the northwest portion of River Cajari's Reservation Extrativista. During the study four samplings were accomplished and as methodologies the visual and auditory active search in three transectos of 1000 m of extension, the installation of pitfall traps and donations of animals for third. 410 amphibious specimens were registered represented by 09 families, 21 goods and 43 species (40 belonging to the Ordem Anura and 03 the Ordem Gymnophiona). The families Hylidae and Leptodactylidae contributed with larger wealth. The registered species are predominantly a little representatives of forest areas impactada, indicating that the area still maintains good environmental quality, possessing high wealth of species. Based on these results and obtained us for the group of the reptiles in the same area, this Unit of Conservation comes as fourth in number of species registered for the herpetofauna in areas of forest of firm earth (n=82) in the State of Amapá, being behind just of Rio Irataputu's RDS (n=120), of FLONA of Amapá (n=135) and of PARNA Montanhas of Tumucumaque (n=156). The number of species registered it can still be compared with other areas on the shield guianense as French Guiana and Suriname (103 and 102 species, respectively). With the results obtained in this study, hopes to contribute with the current knowledge of the herpetofauna of Amapá and of the amazon portion on the Shield of Guyana.

Amphibians found in the Amazonian Savanna of the Rio Curiaú Environmental Protection Area in Amapá, Brazil

“…Studies of the diversity, geographic distribution, and ecology of Amazonian amphibians have increased considerably over the past decade, especially in the Brazilian Amazon basin. These studies have provided a great deal of valuable data, especially for the Brazilian states of Amazonas (Zimmerman & Rodrigues 1990, Tocher et al 2001, Gordo 2003, Neckel-Oliveira & Gordo 2004, Vogt et al 2007, Menin et al 2008, Ilha & Dixo 2010, Lima et al 2012, Prudente et al 2013, Waldez et al 2013, Pará (Ribeiro-Junior et al 2008, Avila-Pires et al 2010, Rondônia (Bernarde 2007, Turci & Bernarde 2008, and Amapá (Lima 2008, Queiroz et al 2011, Araujo & Costa-Campos 2014, as well as the countries of the Guiana Shield (Hoogmoed & Avila-Pires 1991, Lescure & Marty 2000, Cole et al 2013.…”

Anurans of the Reserva Biológica do Parazinho, Municipality of Macapá, state of Amapá, eastern Amazon

“…This study provides the first record of the amphibians of the Reserva Biológica do Parazinho. Because it is an island, richness indices were low when compared to studies on the mainland conducted by Queiroz et al (2011) and Pereira-Júnior et al (2013) in the state of Amapá. These authors reported 40 species of anurans in the Cajari Extractive Reserve and 20 species in the University of Amapá campus, respectively.…”

Anuran species composition of Cancão Municipal Natural Park, Municipality of Serra do Navio, Amapá state, Brazil

“…The anuran fauna corresponded to 65.7 % of the recorded species for the Tumucumaque Mountains National Park (Lima 2008), 86.9 % of the species found in the River Cajari Extractive Reserve (Queiroz et al 2011), 60.9 % species recorded during the surveys conducted of the Rio Curiaú Environmental Protection Area (Lima et al 2017), and 90.6 % species of anurans recorded in the Amapá National Forest (Bemício and Lima 2017). This high anurans richness for the Amazonian biome is highly underestimated considering taxonomic problems, recent descriptions of species and taxonomic revisions (Peloso et al 2014; Vaz-Silva et al 2015).…”

“…Although be inserted in a region of great interest for conservation and presents gaps knowledge on anurans (Azevedo-Ramos and Galatti 2002), Amapá state is little studied in relation to its anurans fauna (Lima 2008, Queiroz et al 2011, Pereira-Júnior et al 2013, Araújo and Costa-Campos 2014, Costa-Campos 2015, Costa-Campos et al 2015, Lima et al 2017, Benício and Lima 2017). In this context, the present study aims to provide the list of species of anuran amphibians that occur in the area of the Cancão Municipal Natural Park, municipality of Serra do Navio, state of Amapá, eastern Amazon.…”
