Developmental aspects of the direct-developing frog Adelophryne maranguapensis
Lima, Ana V. P. de; Reis, Alice H.; Amado, Nathalia G.; Lima, Daniel Cassiano; Nojosa, Diva M. BorgesDirect development in amphibians is characterized by the loss of aquatic breeding. The anuran Adelophryne maranguapensis is one example of a species with direct development, and it is endemic to the state of Ceara, Brazil. Detailed morphological features of A. maranguapensis embryos and the stages of sequential development have not been described before. Here, we analyzed all available genetic sequence tags in ...
Aspectos socioambientais e legais da bananicultura na apa da na APA da Serra de...
Lima, Daniel Cassiano; Cascon, PauloThis article addresses the problem of the irregular installation of banana plantations in Serra de Maranguape (CE), based on the Brazilian Environmental Legislation, and on the social and environmental conditions of banana growers. The research was developed based on the literature review and application of face-to-face and objective questionnaires. It was found that most of them had no schooling and were unawa...
Reproductive biology of direct developing and threatened frog Adelophryne maran...
Lima, Daniel Cassiano; Lima, Ana V. P; Fortunato, Márcia E. M; Sousa, Tiago A. de; Castro, Déborah P. de; Nojosa, Diva M. Borges; Cechin, Sonia ZAnurans with direct development are among the most difficult species for conducting studies concerning ecology and natural history. This paper provides information on the reproduction of Adelophryne maranguapensis, a threatened species endemic to Serra de Maranguape, an Atlantic Forest relict surrounded by dry Caatinga phytophysiognomies. Our objectives were to identify the reproductive periods, verify any pref...

Castro, Deborah P; Rodrigues, João Fabrício M; Leite, Maria Juliana Borges; Lima, Daniel Cassiano; Nojosa, Diva Maria BorgesThe relationships among the morphoclimatic domains of South America have been a major biogeographical issue of recent years. Palynological, geological and phytogeographical data suggest that the Amazon Forest and the Atlantic Forest were connected during part of the Tertiary and Quaternary periods. This study uses amphibians as model organisms to investigate whether relict northeastern forests are a transition ...
The advertisement call of Adelophryne maranguapensis (Anura, Eleutherodactylidae)
Lima, Daniel Cassiano; Nojosa, Diva Maria Borges; Cechin, Sonia ZaniniWe describe the advertisement call of A. maranguapensis an endangered species endemic to Serra de Maranguape, Ceará, northeastern Brazil (Cassiano-Lima et al., 2011). The monophyletic genus Adelophryne includes eight nominal species and a number of unnamed species of small frogs with direct development, which occur in Amazon, Atlantic Forest, and humid forested mountains of Northeast Brazil (Fouquet et al. 2012...

Passos, Daniel Cunha; Lima, Daniel Cassiano; Nojosa, Diva Maria BorgesA new species of Tropidurus of the semitaeniatus group is described from northeastern Brazil. Tropidurus sp. nov. is morphologically similar to other species of the group in the marked dorsoventral flattening of the body, and the presence of a series of sublabial shields that are larger than the adjacent scales. It is distinguished by a single middorsal longitudinal light stripe that extends from the snout to t...

Lima, Daniel CassianoFundação Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - Funcap; This work is distributed in five chapters that focuses the composition of amphibians in Maranguape mountain, State of Ceara, prioritizing informations on the reproductive biology of Adelophryne maranguapensis, an endemic and endangered anuran, whose genus has rare natural history observations. In the first chapter, we provide a lis...
O rio como uma experiência em educação ambiental: um constructo de uma ilha int...
Paiva, Enivaldo Sousa; Silva, Otalício Rodrigues da; Lima, Daniel CassianoEste trabalho objetiva analisar a abordagem interdisciplinar no ensino de Educação Ambiental na área de Ciências da Natureza em uma turma da 3ª série do Ensino Médio de uma escola estadual do Ceará, tomando-se como referência o Rio Arabê. Para tal, utilizou-se a metodologia de Gerard Fourez (1997), a Ilha Interdisciplinar da Racionalidade (IIR) como estratégia de ensino utilizada numa intervenção pedagógica ond...

Lima, Daniel CassianoThe serra de Maranguape is a pre-litoral residual mountain, located 25 km from Fortaleza, with a maximum altitude of 920 m. The type of vegetation of this mountain range is called Floresta Tropical Subperenifólia Plúvio-Nebular and constitutes a remnant of the Atlantic Forest. The few studies on the biological diversity of the serra de Maranguape already carried through, indicate a biota distinct from the one p...
