A three-year Herpetofauna survey from one of the largest remnants of the Atlant...
Pereira-Ribeiro, Juliane; Ferreguetti, Átilla Colombo; Bergallo, Helena Godoy; Rocha, Carlos Frederico DuarteHere we present a three-year survey of amphibian and reptile species registered in the Vale Natural Reserve (VNR), located in the north of Espírito Santo, southeastern Brazil. The VNR, along with the Sooretama Biological Reserve (SBR) and other surrounding areas, form a forest block that constitutes one of the largest remnants of continuous forest in the Atlantic Forest biome. We systematically sampled the herp...

Dorigo, Thiago; Siqueira, Carla; Oliveira, Jane Célia Ferreira; Fusinatto, Luciana Ardenghi; Santos-Pereira, Manuela; Almeida-Santos, MarlonThe Parque Nacional da Tijuca in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is considered to be one of the world’s largest urban forests, however no systematic inventory of its herpetofauna is available. In the present study, we surveyed the amphibians and reptiles of this park to assess its species composition (including secondary data) and obtain estimates of species richness and abundance. We conducted active searches (460 hou...

Oliveira, Jane C.F.; Gonzalez, Rodrigo Castellari; Passos, Paulo; Vrcibradic, Davor; Rocha, Carlos Frederico DuarteWe assessed the current knowledge on non-avian reptile species composition in the state of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), southeastern Brazil. We used published data in indexed journals and verified voucher specimens housed in two herpetological collections of the Museu Nacional (UFRJ), and the Laboratory of Reptiles (ZUFRJ). We also confirmed vouchers from Instituto Vital Brazil (IVB) and from the Museum of Comparative ...

Epiphytes of the Atlantic Forest, one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world, have high endemism and radiated recently in the Pliocene. We aimed to (1) compile an extensive...
The amphibians of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: an updated and commented...
Dorigo, Thiago Arnt; Vrcibradic, Davor; Rocha, Carlos Frederico DuarteThe amphibian fauna of the state of Rio de Janeiro, in southeatern Brazil, is characterized by high species richness and rates of endemism, and is still insufficiently known. A first list of amphibian species with occurrence in the state was published in 2004 and reported 166 taxa, but since then many new records, descriptions of new taxa, and revalidations and synonymizations of species have consistently impro...

What to do to defend themselves: description of three defensive strategies disp...
Maia-Carneiro, Thiago; Wachlevski, Milena; Rocha, Carlos Frederico DuarteMechanisms involving interactions between prey and predator are important elements acting on the Natural History of the species concerned. Defensive behaviors presented by serpents evolved as a way for them to avoid being detected, injured, or killed. Dipsas alternans is a serpent species occurring in the Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest and it can show distinct defensive behaviors in different situations. An adu...
