“…40% and ca. 30% of the total species richness of, respectively, amphibians and reptiles known to occur in the state of Rio de Janeiro (see Vrcibradic et al 2011b). Regarding the anurofauna in particular, the species richness reported here for REGUA is the highest yet reported for Atlantic Forest areas in which anuran surveys have been conducted, with only the Estação Of the 73 amphibian species recorded, 25 (34%) were found only in continuous forest, whereas 17 (23%) were found in all three types of habitats (continuous forest, forest fragments and matrix) ( Table 1).…”

Species inventories are useful tools to improve conservation strategies, especially in highly threatened biomes such as the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Here we present a species list of amphibians and reptiles for the Reserva Ecoló gica de Guapiaçu (REGUA), a forest reserve located in the central portion of Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. The list results from an extensive sampling effort that lasted ten years. A total of 73 amphibian (of which ten are endemic to the state) and 37 reptile species was recorded from the area. Five amphibian species are presently categorized by the IUCN as ''data-deficient'', two as ''near threatened'' and one as ''endangered'', whereas one reptile species is categorized as ''vulnerable''. Our results showed that REGUA harbors about one-third of the herpetofauna species presently known to occur in state of Rio de Janeiro, adding more information to previously published lists of amphibians and reptiles from localities within the Serra dos Ó rgã os region, and highlighting the importance of this area for conservation of amphibians and reptiles of the Atlantic Forest.

Aqui, nó s apresentamos uma lista de anfíbios e répteis para a Reserva Ecoló gica de Guapiaçu (REGUA), uma reserva florestal localizada na porçã o central do estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. A lista é baseada em um esforço de amostragem extensivo de dez anos de duraçã o. Um total de 73 espécies de anfíbios (das quais dez sã o endêmicas ao estado) e 37 espécies de répteis foi registrado na á rea. Cinco das espécies de anfíbios estã o atualmente categorizadas pela IUCN como ''deficiente em dados'', duas como ''quase ameaçadas'' e uma como ''em perigo'', enquanto uma espécie de réptil está categorizada como ''vulnerá vel''. Nossos resultados mostram que a regiã o da REGUA abriga cerca de um terço da herpetofauna atualmente conhecida para o estado do Rio de Janeiro, adicionando mais espécies em relaçã o a listas de espécies anfíbios e répteis previamente publicadas para localidades na regiã o da Serra dos Ó rgã os e enfatizando a importâ ncia desta á rea para a conservaçã o dos anfíbios e répteis da Mata Atlâ ntica.

Composition and natural history of the snakes from the Parque Estadual da Serra do Papagaio, southern Minas Gerais, Serra da Mantiqueira, Brazil

The Serra da Mantiqueira is one of the least inventoried physiographic areas of southeastern Brazil. There is great potential for detection of endemic species for which little or nothing is known about basic aspects of natural history. The Parque Estadual da Serra do Papagaio (PESP) within the Serra da Mantiqueira is an area of extreme biological importance because it houses mixed formations of grasslands, ombrophilous forests, and enclaves of Araucaria forests (mixed ombrophilous forest). Currently, the mixed ombrophilous forest covers less than 5% of its original range and areas occupied by this forest type, and associated ecosystems constitute refuges, housing several endemic, high altitude species. Between September 2015 and April 2016, field samplings were performed in the PESP using four distinct methods. The objective was to determine the composition and natural history of snakes from an isolated, high altitude area of the Serra da Mantiqueira. In PESP and surrounding areas, 80 individuals representing 24 species, 19 genera, and three families were recorded. Data are presented on abundance, habitat, daily activity, diet, reproduction, and defense. Comparison of the PESP snake assemblage with 30 other Atlantic Forest areas in southeastern Brazil indicate the Serra da Mantiqueira presents particular characteristics regarding snake composition.

“…The State of Rio de Janeiro alone has more than 160 species of anurans (Rocha et al 2004), 35 of which are endemic to the AF in the State. The anuran fauna of Rio de Janeiro has been studied for over a century and species lists are available for many continental localities (e.g., Lutz 1954;Izecksohn and Carvalho-e-Silva 2001;Rocha et al 2004;Carvalho-e-Silva et al 2008;Salles et al 2009;Siqueira et al 2006;Silva-Soares et al 2010;Vrcibradic et al 2011). However, most of the well-surveyed localities are near the metropolitan area of the city of Rio de Janeiro.…”

Herein we present the first lists of anuran species of five islands off the coast of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, and updated lists for two other islands (Ilha Grande and Ilha da Marambaia). These lists resulted from thorough searches of the literature and of herpetological collections databases, and from surveys on the islands conducted between March 2009 and January 2011. Currently there are 49 species of anurans distributed in 10 families recorded for these islands and this number accounts for c. 90% of the diversity present in the nearby mainland areas. Although Hylidae represents more than 40% of the species recorded on the islands, Thoropa miliaris (Cycloramphidae) is the only species present on all islands. On the islands there are three endemic species and two species listed as threatened by the IUCN. This study has added seven species to the previous list for Ilha Grande and two species to the list for Ilha da Marambaia.
