“…Although our results were collected with the tadpole community, these are the first records for the ichthyofauna in streams of the Munim River Basin and coastal drainage areas of northeastern Maranhão state. Our findings indicate the existence of a community that shares faunal elements of the Amazon and Caatinga biomes, supporting the hypothesis that the state of Maranhão is a broad and diverse biogeographic transition zone (Ab' Saber 1989) between the Amazon Forest, Caatinga, Cerrado and coastal ecosystems, which has been observed in other studies (Rebêlo et al 2010;Dos Santos et al 2012;Campos et al 2013;Matavelli et al 2013aMatavelli et al , 2013bMatavelli et al 2014aMatavelli et al , 2014b.…”

The Neotropic region has high fish diversity associated with freshwater habitats. However, for Maranhão state, most publications on the ichthyofauna concentrate on coastal or estuarine ecosystems. In this study, species of fish were sampled in lentic and lotic habitats in Cerrado areas (Cerradão phytophysiognomy) and in restinga areas (Atlantic Forest phytophysiognomy) in northeastern Maranhão state between January and July 2010. Thirteen species from 10 families and 6 orders were captured. Species richness was highest for the orders Characiformes and Gymnotiformes. Our results are the first records of the ichthyofauna of coastal drainage areas of northeastern Maranhão state, contributing to the understanding of the biodiversity of the Munim and Parnaíba River basins, and suggest the existence of a community that shares elements with those of the Amazon and Caatinga biomes.

“…The state of Maranhão is inserted in a wide and diverse biogeographic transition zone (Ab' Saber 1989) with the Amazon Rainforest in its western portion, patches of the Caatinga in the east, Cerrado in the center and northeast (IBGE 1984), and coastal ecosystems (restingas and mangroves) in the north and northeast. This allows the occurrence of a high biodiversity with communities sharing faunistic elements of different biomes (De Marco et al 2005;Rebêlo et al 2010;Dos Santos et al 2012;Rêgo and Albuquerque 2012;Campos et al 2013;Matavelli et al 2013aMatavelli et al , 2013bMatavelli et al , 2014.…”

“…Our results support other studies conducted in Cerrado areas (Brasileiro et al 2008, Oda et al 2009, Roberto et al 2013, Dal Vechio et al 2013, Santoro & Brandão 2014, Dória et al 2015, which affirm that the amphibian communities are dominanted by tolerant and generalist species. However, we recorded also typical species of forested areas, as Osteocephalus taurinus and B. boans, common species in riparian forests of the Cerrado and the Amazon biomes , Jungfer et al 2013, Matavelli et al 2013, Freitas et al 2017. Boana boans was restricted to the Amazon Basin, but Matavelli et al (2013) recorded the first occurrence of this species (Matavelli et al 2013, Freitas et al 2017.…”

Anurans of the Parque Estadual do Mirador, a remnant of Cerrado in the state of Maranhão, Northeastern Brazil

The Cerrado is one of the most threatened biomes in Brazil. It is estimated that much of its original vegetation has been replaced by some type of human use. This is quite worrying, mainly in the northern part where the number of wildlife inventories is insufficient and creates the false impression of low diversity in the region. The Parque Estadual do Mirador-PEM, located in the south-central region of the state of Maranhão, presents vegetation typical of the Cerrado biome and corresponds to one of 46 priority areas for conservation in the state. Herein, we describe the species richness and composition of the anurofauna from the PEM and analyze the influence of different types of vegetation in its formation. Our inventory was conducted from December 2013 to February 2015, using the active search and auditory census methods on breeding sites in different water bodies of the park. We recorded 31 anuran species belonging to five families (species number in parentheses): Leptodactylidae (14), Hylidae (12), Bufonidae (3), Microhylidae (1) and Phyllomedusidae (1). The rarefaction curve and species richness estimators indicated that the sampling effort was enough to record most of the species in the region. The richness of anurans in the PEM was higher than reported by other authors for several areas of Cerrado. Most species have a wide distribution in Brazil or are strongly associated with the Caatinga or Amazon biomes. Only about 19% are endemic to the Cerrado biome. This study is the first to inventory the anurans species of the south-central region of state of Maranhão and provides important data on amphibian communities from the northern part of the Brazilian Cerrado.Keywords: inventory, Amphibia, Anura, conservation unit, species richness. Anfíbios anuros do Parque Estadual do Mirador, um remanescente de Cerrado no estado do Maranhão, nordeste do BrasilResumo: O Cerrado é um dos biomas mais ameaçados do Brasil. Estima-se que grande parte da cobertura vegetal original deste bioma tenha sido substituída por alguma forma de utilização humana. Este fato é bastante preocupante, principalmente na porção norte, onde o número de inventários faunísticos é insuficiente e gera a falsa impressão de baixa diversidade na região. O Parque Estadual do Mirador-PEM, localizado na região centro-meridional do Maranhão, apresenta vegetação típica do Cerrado e corresponde a uma das 46 áreas prioritárias para conservação no estado. Aqui, nós descrevemos a riqueza e a composição da anurofauna no PEM, analisando a influência dos diferentes tipos vegetacionais na sua formação. Inventariamos a anurofauna de dezembro de 2013 a fevereiro de 2015, utilizando métodos de procura ativa e censo auditivo em sítios reprodutivos de diferentes corpos d'água do parque. Registramos 31 espécies de anuros, pertencentes a cinco famílias (números de espécies entre parênteses): Leptodactylidae (14), Hylidae (12), Bufonidae (3), Microhylidae (1)
