TITLE:

AUTOECOLOGY OF THE ENDANGERED LIZARD GLAUCOMASTIX ABAETENSIS
(SQUAMATA, TEIIDAE) IN RESTINGA FORMATIONS ON THE NORTH COAST OF BAHIA,
BRAZIL

KEY WORDS:

Diet; Parasitic ecology; Reproduction; Teiidae.

PAGES: 146
BIG AREA: Ciências Biológicas
AREA: Zoologia
SUMMARY:

Autoecology studies are of fundamental importance for understanding natural history and ecology
of the species. In addition, they contribute to species management and conservation strategies, mainly
endangered species as in the case of Glaucomastix abaetensis, a species threatened with extinction globally,
national and state. The present work aimed to analyze autoecological aspects of G.
abaetensis, approaching new perspectives and providing unpublished data about the trophic, parasitic and
reproductive biology, in two populations on the north coast of Bahia, Brazil. In total, 166 were analyzed.
individuals, 85 males and 81 females. Trophic ecology data allow classifying G. abaetensis
as a generalist, with a preference for large prey, with similarity in the composition of the diet of males and
females and in populations throughout the year, indicating a trophic niche conservatism. The cycles of
energy reserves, as well as modification of reproductive cells throughout the year, indicate that this
species presents a continuous cyclic reproductive pattern with peaks of reproductive activity in the dry period
for both sexes, without influence of temperature and rainfall. Analyzes of parasitic ecology
revealed low diversity of endoparasites, with similar parameters of parasitism between males and females,
in locations and different climatic conditions, without interfering with the body condition of individuals
as well as playback.
