Defensive repertory of Pseudoeryx plicatilis (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Pantanal, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Defensive behavior is an important mechanism for the survival of organisms, and understanding the different strategies improves our knowledge regarding prey-predator relationships. Herein, based on field observation, we describe a sequence of behaviors displayed by the South American pond snake Pseudoeryx plicatilis from the Pantanal floodplains in midwestern Brazil. The individual displayed a repertoire of five different defensive behaviors, without an evident sequence pattern recognized. Two of the displays are new for the species, and one for the tribe. The new defensive repertory described may suggest animals oriented by vision as main predators of P. plicatilis.Asociación Herpetológica Argentin

Se revisan cinco estudios científicos que exploran el uso de IA en diversas áreas de la medicina relacionadas con heridas. El objetivo principal es analizar los avances, limitaciones y perspectivas de la IA en la educación médica para el manejo de heridas, considerando la IA como una herramienta potencialmente valiosa en el abordaje especifico de diferentes tipos de heridas

Sexual dimorphism, female fertility, and diet of Physalaemus feioi (Anura: Leptodactylidae) from southeastern Brazil

Physalaemus feioi é uma rã da América do Sul, endêmica da Mata Atlântica, registrada nos estados de Minas Gerais e São Paulo. Avaliamos o dimorfismo sexual, a fertilidade nas fêmeas e dieta dessa espécie em duas localidades do estado de Minas Gerais, incluindo a localidade-tipo da espécie. Coletamos 73 indivíduos (16 fêmeas adultas e 57 machos adultos) por meio de busca ativa. O número de oócitos encontrados para P. feioi (x̅ = 1385 ± 498,13) foi alto quando comparado com outras espécies do gênero como P. maculiventris, P. signifer, P. cuvieri e P. ephippifer mas este semelha o número de oócitos de P. centralis, P. kroyeri e P. marmoratus. As presas com maior índice de importância foram Coleoptera (IIR = 24,26) e Formicidae (IIR = 16,46). Não houve diferenças entre machos e fêmeas quanto ao número de presas ingeridas e nem o volume do conteúdo estomacal. Em resumo, Physalaemus feioi teve semelhanças com outras espécies do gênero em relação ao dimorfismo sexual, fecundidade e hábitos alimentares.Physalaemus feioi is a South American frog endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest that occurs in the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo. We evaluated sexual dimorphism, female fertility, and diet of P. feioi from two locations in the state of Minas Gerais, including the type locality of the species. We collected 73 individuals (16 adult females and 57 adult males). The number of oocytes of P. feioi (x̅ = 1385 ±498.13) was higher than in other species of the genus, such as P. maculiventris, P. signifer, P. cuvieri, and P. ephippifer, but it resembles that of P. centralis, P. kroyeri, and P. marmoratus. The prey items with the highest index of importance were Coleoptera (IIR = 24.26) and Formicidae (IIR = 16.46). We found no sex differences regarding the number of ingested prey and the volume of the stomach contents. In summary, Physalaemus feioi was similar to other species of the genus regarding sexual dimorphism, fecundity, and feeding habits

Traveling with an invader: ectoparasitic mites of Hemidactylus frenatus (Squamata: Gekkonidae) in Colombia

Information about natural history of invasive species (such as parasitism) is a relevant issue in order to consider potential threats to native fauna. In this work we report two pterygosomatid mites for the first time in Colombia, Geckobia bataviensis and G. keegani, parasites of the invasive house gecko Hemidactylus frenatus. Although it has not been demonstrated that these mites may infest native gecko lizards, our study highlights the need to explore the prevalence of internal and external parasites in native and invasive geckos, to better evaluate the potential impact of invasive Hemidactylus lizards in Colombia.Asociación Herpetológica Argentin

Advertisement and release calls of Rhinella scitula (Caramaschi and Niemeyer, 2003) (Anura: Bufonidae)

The anuran calls descriptions have given important taxonomic information in studies within problematic species group. Herein, we describe the advertisement and release calls of R. scitula. We analyzed calls recorded in three localities in Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil, including the type locality. Males were calling at the margins of permanent streams in forest fragments ca. 21:00 h. The advertisement call of R. scitula is multi-pulsed with interior amplitude modulation, resulting in pulse groups. Males emitted non-regular call series with duration of 0.27s ± 0.03 (0.23–0.36), note duration of 0.015s ± 0.004 (0.007–0.040), pulse duration of 0.008s ± 0.001 (0.005–0.015, n=180), pulse group per call of 6.6 ± 0.92 (5–8) and dominant frequency of 1439.7 Hz ± 46.1 (1378.1–1550.4). The release calls were characterized by a dominant frequency of 1115.8Hz ± 102.2 (947.5–1550.4), a frequency bandwidth of 2001.6Hz ± 527.4 (861.3–3876). They are formed by pulsed and/or pulsatile notes spaced by non-regular intervals or series of 2–19 calls. From all R. margaritifera species group with described advertisement calls, the most different to R. scitula and other species in the group was R. magnussoni, which has a structurally distinct call. The release calls in R. granulosa species group and R. scitula has the same pattern of pulsed and/or non-pulsed notes.Asociación Herpetológica Argentin
