The utility of an index of biotic integrity for predicting terrestrial frog species diversity in a tropical forest

Bruno Ferreto Fiorillo, Gabriel Paganini Faggioni, Diogo B. Provete

Indices of biotic integrity (IBI) summarize multiple habitat metrics and are useful for rapid ecological assessments of local-scale changes. While they are commonly applied to amphibians in wetlands and streams, their utility for predicting changes in tropical forest leaf-litter frog communities remains …

Effects of Vegetation Density on the Diversity of Lizards in an Area of the Brazilian Cerrado

Bruno Ferreto Fiorillo, Liliana Piatti, Marcio Roberto Martins

ABSTRACT The Cerrado is a highly threatened biome that harbors a great portion of Brazilian biodiversity, including many endemic species. Such richness may reflect its environmental heterogeneity, which includes different vegetation types (from grasslands to forests). Several endemic species in the Cerrado …

Lost in space and time: robust demography and enhanced resilience buffer adverse environmental effects in a highly isolated and sedentary pre-pleistocene landscape vertebrate

Philippe J. R. Kok, Tessa L. Broholm, Loïc van Doorn, Bruno Ferreto Fiorillo et autres

BACKGROUND: Few animal populations have been studied under the framework of the OCBIL theory, which addresses the ecology and evolution of biodiversity on old climatically buffered infertile landscapes. Available genetic data challenge the low connectivity and high genetic differentiation predicted for isolated …

STOMACH MORPHOLOGY AND FIRST RECORD OF THE FRESHWATER SHRIMP Macrobrachium potiuna PREYING ON JUVENILE TREEFROG IN THE ATLANTIC FOREST

Thiago S. Novato, Arthur Diesel Abegg, Bruno Ferreto Fiorillo

We present the first report of Macrobrachium potiuna (Arthropoda: Decapoda) preying on anjuvenile anuran, alongside with a description of the stomach morphology of the shrimp individual. Thefreshwater shrimp was observed feeding on a juvenile hylid in the Atlantic Forest. We interpret the …

Effects of environmental factors on the ecology and survival of a widespread, endemic Cerrado frog

Bruno Ferreto Fiorillo, Gabriel Paganini Faggioni, Felipe O. Cerezer, C. Guilherme Becker et autres

Abstract Understanding the mechanisms that affect habitat use by vertebrates is critical for understanding how species are distributed across landscapes and how they cope with habitat change. The Brazilian Savanna (the Cerrado) has vegetation ranging from grassland to woodland savannas and harbors …

Composition and natural history of a snake community from the southern Cerrado, southeastern Brazil

Bruno Ferreto Fiorillo, Jorge Henry Maciel, Marcio Roberto Martins

The natural history of a cerrado snake community in a protected area in southeastern Brazil (Santa Bárbara Ecological Station; SBES) is described. A visual guide and an identification key are also provided to assist researchers and local people in identifying snakes in …

Habitat use by five species of sympatric pitvipers ( Bothrops , Crotalus ) in a Brazilian savannah

Bruno Ferreto Fiorillo, Alexandro Marques Tozetti, Marcio Roberto Martins

Detailed information on habitat use allows a better understanding of a species' behaviour and spatial ecology and provides basic information that may help with conservation assessments and in defining conservation actions. Here we present data on habitat use and short-term movements of …

Effects of agricultural systems on the anuran diversity in the Colombian Amazon

Juan C. Díaz‐Ricaurte, Nayra Camila Arriaga Villegas, Juan David López Coronado, Gina Ximena Macias Garzón et autres

We provide information on the diversity of anurans from agroforestry systems in the Colombian Amazon. This area is inserted at the tropical rainforest ecosystem and consists mainly of secondary forest remnants surrounded by crops, grasslands, and agroforestry systems. From February to May …

Diversidade e efeitos da estrutura da vegetação sobre répteis Squamata em uma área de cerrado do Sudeste do Brasil: subsídios para o manejo de unidades de conservação

Bruno Ferreto Fiorillo

Diversity and effects of vegetation structure on Squamates in a cerrado area in southeastern Brazil: subsidies for the management of protected areas Several studies have suggested that native open areas from the Cerrado present greater species diversity than its forested formations.This pattern …

Diversity and effects of vegetation structure on Squamates in a cerrado area in southeastern Brazil: subsidies for the management of protected areas

Bruno Ferreto Fiorillo

Diversos estudos têm sugerido que áreas abertas nativas do Cerrado apresentam maior diversidade de répteis Squamata do que suas áreas não florestais. Este padrão provavelmente é resultante da interação entre processos ecológicos, históricos e biogeográficos. Esta tendência já foi relatada para a …

Composition and Natural History of Snakes from Etá Farm region, Sete Barras, south-eastern Brazil

Bruno Ferreto Fiorillo, Bruno R da Silva, Frederico Alcântara Menezes, Otávio Augusto Vuolo Marques et autres

Approximately 140 snake species are known to occur in the Atlantic Forest with nearly half being endemic to this ecoregion. However, the Atlantic forest is one of the most threatened tropical ecoregions, with only 16% of its original area remaining as forest. …
