(2022-10-07) Silva, Beatriz Borba de Morais Ribeiro; Moura, Geraldo Jorge Barbosa de; Frazão, Márcio Chaves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5314751391292608; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1348666346504103; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8843353219992073
For science to be able to develop research on a topic, first of all, it is important to know the status of current knowledge present in the literature about it, and thus, develop a strategic plan for the development of research and conservation. One of the methodologies that makes it possible to assess this type of knowledge is scientometrics (Vanti, 2002). Given this premise, the present work aimed to metrify the national scientific production on the theme "Migratory Birds" in the Brazilian northeast, between 2000 and 2022, in order to map the current status of knowledge and scientific literary production, being able to contribute as a tool for the development of projects and actions that aim to fill possible knowledge gaps. The work evaluated a total of 1113 publications, following the pre-established keywords in the methodology, which resulted in 63 publications that met the proposed criteria. Of these, a total amount of 132 species can be measured with occurrence recorded for the northeast region of the country. The need for more in-depth research on the subject became evident, as well as the search for publications in the most renowned journals in the scientific area.
Concentração de elementos-traço chumbo (Pb) e cobre (Cu) em tecidos de Chelonia mydas (Linnaeus, 1758) no Litoral Sul de Pernambuco, Nordeste do Brasil
(2021-08-06) Queiroz, Emily Pereira de; Moura, Geraldo Jorge Barbosa de; Rodrigues, Midiã da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4953311636839935; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1348666346504103; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9237498056744804
Between threats to sea turtles species is the contamination of marine enviroments caused by trace elements wich infiltrate into organisms through food, airways or skin and can be passed on by trophic levels. The species Chelonia mydas has coastal habits whose main diet item is seaweed, which had evidence of accumulation by trace elements. This work determined the concentrations of trace elements lead (Pb) and copper (Cu), in order to know the level of contamination of local individuals and the bioavailability of the elements in habitat. 43 samples of C. mydas liver and muscle organs from the southern coast of Pernambuco, Northeast Brazil, collected from November 2016 to November 2018 were used. The quantification was performed by an Inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES). Cu showed a greater amount in liver, while Pb was present in a higher concentration in muscle, not being detectable in liver. For Cu, the highest concentration found was 64,683 mg kg-1 (6,389–212,286) while for Pb it was 4,115mg kg-1 (1.4–7,424). The southern coast of Pernambuco showed higher concentrations than other Brazilian states and several areas around the world, showing how other threats to the species mask the impacts of these contaminants, whose accumulation mechanisms need further studies to be fully understood. The values found provide a basis for monitoring the species and contamination of the local habitat.

Dinâmica da ocupação de Dendropsophus decipiens (Lutz, 1925) em bromélias de um fragmento de Mata Atlântica semidecidual
(2019-12-13) Santos, Rebeca Vitória Inácio dos; Araújo, Alan Pedro de; Moura, Geraldo Jorge Barbosa de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1348666346504103; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7843892415680764; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7183058148320345
By offer microhabitat, bromeliads are of great importance in the life of amphibians. Anuran bromeliads eventually use bromeliads, and in the rainy season they go to water bodies like temporary puddles and lakes to breed. It is not known if these adults return to the same bromelials or even if their descendants also return. Thus the following work aims to understand the dynamics of occupation of Dendropsophus decipiens (Lutz, 1925) living in bromeliads during a dry and rainy period in bromelials located in the Alto da Buchada Forest in the Tapacurá ecological reserve in the metropolitan region of Recife. The collections were performed from October 2017 to October 2018, with a sampling effort of four people where the method used was the visual active search, done at night between 18:00 and 22:00. The collected specimens were weighed, measured individually marked by the elastomer technique. The abundance of anurans was 127 individuals collected and through this study found that precipitation and temperature were important factors in the presence or absence of these animals in the bromelials.
Ecologia trófica de Amphisbaena vermicularis Wagler, 1824, (Squamata, Amphisbaenidae) Nordeste, Brasil
(2021-12-17) Silva, Pedro Vinicius Freire Guedes da; Moura, Geraldo Jorge Barbosa de; Maciel, Renata Perez; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9083555957024860; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1348666346504103; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5792351278939394
Amphisbaena vermicularis is a legless reptile with reduced vision, but with good chemical and sound perception. It is a fossorial animal, the difficulty in studying its behavior, distribution, and ecology. The objective of this work is to analyze the diet of Amphisbaena vermicularis, as well as the parameters related to the trophic ecology of the research. A total of 57 animals (16 males, 14 schoolchildren, 24 juveniles, and 3 unidentified) from the herpetological collection of the Universidade Federal do Ceará were transported. For each individual, eight morphometric measurements were taken: cloacal rostrum length, mandibular width, body width, body height, head width, head width, head length, and tail length, these measurements were used to quantify the degree of sexual dimorphism of the species. Stomach contents were developed and measured in length and width. Of the 57 holding 32 aggregates with empty stomachs, while 25 had identifiable prey in the digestive tract, the most found item was Formicidae, with a frequency of 44.12%, followed by Blattaria with 23.53%, Coleoptera larvae with 17 .65%, Isoptera with 8.82%, and Coleoptera and Araneae tied with 2.94%, totaling 137 food items. Statistical tests indicated an absence of variation between the diet of males, persists, and juveniles. The results of the present work reveal that A. vermicularis is a generalist predator feeding on arthropods randomly, according to their body capacity.
Ecologia trófica de Coleodactylus meridionalis (Boulenger, 1888)(Squamata, Sphaerodactylidae) Nordeste, Brasil
(2021-12-17) Ferreira, Christian Felipe de Barros; Moura, Geraldo Jorge Barbosa de; Tinôco, Moacir Santos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0433618384031837; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1348666346504103; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1718763845321714
The genus Coleodactylus is composed of five species distributed in South America, but with a low degree of study about it. The Coleodactylus meridionalis, one of the species of the genus, has a wide distribution in the Brazilian territory, occupying several habitats in the Caatinga, Restinga, ”Brejos de altitude” and Atlantic Forest ecosystems. Knowing that the study of diet can tell us a lot about the natural history of the species, this study focused attention on one of the smallest species of lizard in the northeast region of Brazil. Based on the above, the objective was to characterize the trophic ecology of C. meridionalis, identifying prey at the lowest possible taxonomic level and investigating the presence of variation between age and sex, as well as compiling data from the literature that provide information on the trophic ecology of the genus Coleodactylus. The animals used were provided by the Herpetological Collection of the Laboratory of Herpetological and Paleoherpetological Studies of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (LEHP- UFRPE), of the Herpetological Collection of the Animal Ecology and Conservation Center of the Catholic University of Salvador (CHECOA-UCSAL) and from the Herpetological Collection of the Regional Center for Ophiology at the Federal University of Ceará (CHUFC-NUROF). Due to the low N of individuals analyzed with stomach content by ecosystem, this work can better understand the trophic patterns of animals from the ”Brejos de altitude”. The animals were measured in relation to snout-vent length (CRC) with a digital pachymeter and opened through a longitudinal incision, having their stomachs removed and opened for analysis of their content, in cases where it was possible to measure the stomach content, these were measured, and identified at the lowest possible taxonomic level, then preserved in 70% alcohol. The diet of the animals analyzed was divided into 8 categories of ingested prey, with hymenoptera (Ants), arachnids (mites, spiders and Pseudoscorpions) and coleoptera (Beetles) being most of the diet of the analyzed lizards. The analysis of variance test (ANOVA) found sexual dimorphism in the species, with females being larger in size compared to males, the study also found the absence of the influence of sex or age on the species' diet, with females, males and juveniles sharing the same diet. This tends to generate intraspecific and interspecific competition since other individuals of the genus also feed on a large part of the diet of C. meridionalis. The largest numbers of prey were hymenoptera, which may demonstrate passive foraging behavior (Sit-and-wait). Data compiled from the literature show the low amount of data on the genus, mainly on diet, where species such as C. brachystoma and C. elizae do not have this type of data studied. This study deepens the knowledge about a genus so little scientifically targeted and with such scarce data, studies that can come to help in the creation of conservation projects and more efficient management of the species and the ecosystems where it lives.
Microbiota bacteriana associada a pele de Scinax x-signatus (Spix, 1824) (Anura: Hylidae) em Pernambuco, Brasil
(2020-02-03) Santos, Lara Valesca Mendonça da Costa; Santos, Alcina Gabriela Maria Medeiros da Fonsêca; Moura, Geraldo Jorge Barbosa de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1348666346504103; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4938571253882757; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6095901652697979
The presence of a symbiotic microflora in extremely sensitive animals like amphibians is crucial for the development of an immune system capable of fighting the main opportunistic infectious agents in the environment. Scinax x- signatus is a anuro which has a general and synanthropic behavior occurring in forests and urban areas, but there are no identification studies of bacterial microbiota associated with skin of this animal. The objective of this study was to identify the skin microbiota of Scinax x-signatus in two areas in the Botanical Garden Reef (08 º 04’ S, 34 º 59’ W) and compare the resident and transient microorganisms. Rinses were performed with sterile distilled water to remove the animals from transient microflora and swabs wiped on the skin to collect the resident microflora. Samples were predictively you identify in selective media, as Chromogenic Agar, Cetremide, EMB Agar and MacConkey agar For the analyzes, we used Fisher Test and Cluster Analysis to verify the similarity between the collection areas. 24 sample were isolated from bacterial microflora and predictive methods were taxa 5: Pseudomonas spp. (43%) occurring in most samples, Escherichia coli (22%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (18%), Enterococcus faecalis (12%) and Staphylococcus aureus (4%), with the lower frequency. The microbiota from the anthropized area showed less similarity between the resident and transient samples. Cluster Analysis indicated that the microbiota from the control area was more similar among transients and residents samples, possibly due to the low degree of spatial heterogeneity. Scinax x-signatus specimes presented skin microorganisms of medical interest that are similar to other species of frogs. S. x-signatus has great ecological importance to ecosystems, and studies to research antimicrobial potential on the skin and in the microbiota associated with S. x-signatus are very important for the production of pharmaceuticals.

Vertebrados terrestres da ilha de Paulo Afonso, região nordeste do Brasil: anfíbios, répteis, aves e mamíferos
(EDUFRPE, 2017) Moura, Geraldo Jorge Barbosa de; Nogueira, Eliane Maria de Souza; Toma, Tiago Shizen Pacheco
Esta singular publicação é resultado do esforço colaborativo de pesquisadores, com o objetivo de apresentar uma lista comentada sobre a diversidade de anfíbios, répteis, aves e mamíferos da Caatinga do Município de Paulo Afonso, que se caracteriza por ser uma ilha artificial, proveniente do complexo hidrelétrico de Paulo Afonso, localizada no Polígno das Secas, no Sertão Baiano, às margens do Rio São Francisco. Um bom instrumento de consulta. É importante destacar o esforço que resultou na presente publicação, porque ela nos revela a riqueza da Caatinga, desmitificando o conceito até então usual de que este bioma (o único exclusivamente brasileiro) é pobre em biodiversidade. A biota da Caatinga é bastante diversa, tanto do ponto de vista de seus recursos naturais como de sua dinâmica social. O conhecimento da biodiversidade da Caatinga é fundamental para se ter sucesso na conservação desse rico patrimônio, que não é uma ação simples, uma vez que grandes obstáculos precisam ser superados. O primeiro deles é a falta de um sistema regional eficiente de áreas protegidas, visto nenhum outro bioma brasileiro ter tão poucas unidades de conservação de proteção integral como a Caatinga. O segundo é a falta de inclusão do componente ambiental nos planos regionais de desenvolvimento. A combinação da falta de proteção e da perda contínua de recursos biológicos faz com que a extinção seja uma lamentável regra entre as espécies exclusivas desse bioma, isso se nada for feito. Vislumbra-se que esta obra norteará posteriores estudos na região que possibilitem o avanço do conhecimento ecológico das espécies e contribua na identificação de ameaças, de modo a direcionar as políticas públicas ambientais, bem como na adoção de medidas essenciais que garantam a conservação da biodiversidade da Região de Paulo Afonso.
