Distribuição espaço-temporal e sucesso reprodutivo de Eretmochelys imbricata nas praias do Ipojuca, Pernambuco, Brasil

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Spatio-temporal distribution and reproductive success of Eretmochelys imbricata on the beaches of Ipojuca, Pernambuco, Brazil. This study aimed to verify the spatio-temporal distribution of Eretmochelys imbricata (Linnaeus, 1766) and aspects of its reproductive biology, such as incubation time, reproductive success, biometric measurements of females, number of nests and fecundity. Data were collected during 2007 to 2010, on the beaches of Muro Alto, Cupe, Merepe, Porto de Galinhas, and Maracaípe, al… Show more

“…Detailed density distributions (hawksbill clutches per kilometer) for each nesting season and section are available in Tables S1 & S2. Considering the total extent of the area patrolled and the number of hawksbill clutches within this area, the number of clutches per kilometer was 19.3, 15.3 and 3.3 in Paraiba (Mascarenhas et al 2004), Pernambuco (Moura et al 2012) and southern Bahia (Camilo et al 2009), respectively. In addition, although there are about 1500 hawksbill clutches each year along 214 km of nesting beaches in northern Bahia, the distribution is not homogenous, with concentrations as high as 31.6 clutches km −1 in the most dense areas (Projeto TAMAR-ICMBio unpubl.…”

“…Cupe Beach has rock formations parallel to the coast that is breached in a number of locations, facilitating the entry of the waves that shape the coastline through sand deposition. Merepe Beach is 3.47 km long, without sandstone or coral reef barriers, and only sparse vegetation behind the tidal zone (Moura et al, 2012).…”

“…Eretmochelys imbricata Linnaeus 1766, commonly known as the hawksbill turtle, uses the beaches in the Brazilian states of Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte and Sergipe as its main nesting site ; the breeding also occurring in the states of Pernambuco and Paraíba (Mascarenhas et al, 2003;Moura et al, 2012). In spite of its wide distribution, this chelonian is classified as critically endangered in the red list of the International *Corresponding author.…”

“…Além disto, os dados gerados preencherão uma lacuna na base de dados científicos sobre uma importante região de desova para E. imbricata, espécie ameaçada de extinção, em uma área tropical, quanto à presença de elementos inorgânicos com potenciais tóxicos, fornecendo subsídios para a preservação ambiental desta área, assim como uma linha de base para estudos posteriores. (CRAVEIRO et al, 2006b;GESCQ, 2006;MOURA et al, 2012).…”
