Diet of four lizards from an urban forest in an area of amazonian biome, eastern amazon
Get PDFThis study described the diet and niche overlap of four lizards from an urban fragment in Amap谩 state. The samplings were performed through pitfall traps and active visual search. In the stomach analysis, Formicidae and Coleoptera represented 50.79% of the total items. The highest niche overlap value was between Gonatodes humeralis and Tropidurus hispidus, which was not expected due to habitat use. The foraging strategies of all lizards observed have been previously mentioned by several authors. Several studies cite the diet of lizards being basically composed of invertebrates, with few variations, as also demonstrated in this study.Este estudio describi贸 la dieta y la superposici贸n de nicho de cuatro lagartos de un fragmento urbano en el estado de Amap谩. Los muestreos se realizaron a trav茅s de trampas y b煤squeda visual activa. En el an谩lisis estomacal, Formicidae y Coleoptera representaron el 50.79% del total de 铆tems. El valor de superposici贸n de nicho m谩s alto fue entre Gonatodes humeralis y Tropidurus hispidus, que no se esperaba debido a la diferencia en el uso del h谩bitat. La estrategia de alimentaci贸n de todos los lagartos observados ha sido mencionada anteriormente por varios autores. Varios estudios indican que la dieta de los lagartos se compone b谩sicamente de invertebrados, con pocas variaciones, como tambi茅n se demostr贸 en este estudio.Asociaci贸n Herpetol贸gica Argentin
