Item Acesso aberto (Open Access) Genetic analysis reveals candidate species in the Scinax catharinae clade (Amphibia: Anura) from Central Brazil(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-03) SILVA, Lídia Nogueira; SOLÉ, Mirco; SIQUEIRA JÚNIOR, Sérgio; AFFONSO, Paulo Roberto Antunes de Mello; STRÜSSMANN, Strüssmann; SAMPAIO, Maria Iracilda da CunhaScinax (Anura: Hylidae) is a species-rich genus of amphibians (113 spp.), divided into five species groups by morphological features. Cladistic analyses however revealed only two monophyletic clades in these groups: Scinax catharinae and Scinax ruber. Most species from the S. catharinae clade are found in Atlantic rainforest, except for Scinax canastrensis,S. centralis, S. luizotavioi, S. machadoi,S. pombali and S. skaios. In the present work, specimens of Scinax collected in Chapada dos Guimarães, central Brazil, were morphologically compatible with species from theS. catharinae group. On the other hand, genetic analysis based on mitochondrial (16S and 12S) and nuclear (rhodopsin) sequences revealed a nucleotide divergence of 6 to 20% between Scinax sp. and other congeners from the Brazilian savannah (Cerrado). Accordingly, Bayesian inference placed Scinax sp. in the S. catharinae clade with high support values. Hence, these findings strongly indicate the presence of a new species in the S. catharinae clade from the southwestern portion of the Brazilian savannah. To be properly validated as a novel species, detailed comparative morphological and bioacustic studies with other taxa from Brazil such asS. canastrensis, S. centralis, S. luizotavioi, S. machadoi, S. pombali and S. skaios are requiredItem Acesso aberto (Open Access) Molecular data highlight hybridization in squirrel monkeys (Saimiri, Cebidae)(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2016-12) CARNEIRO, Jeferson Costa; RODRIGUES FILHO, Luis Fernando da Silva; SCHNEIDER, Horacio; SAMPAIO, Maria Iracilda da CunhaHybridization has been reported increasingly frequently in recent years, fueling the debate on its role in the evolutionary history of species. Some studies have shown that hybridization is very common in captive New World primates, and hybrid offspring have phenotypes and physiological responses distinct from those of the "pure" parents, due to gene introgression. Here we used the TA15 Alu insertion to investigate hybridization in the genus Saimiri. Our results indicate the hybridization of Saimiri boliviensis peruviensis with S. sciureus macrodon, and S. b. boliviensis with S. ustus. Unexpectedly, some hybrids of both S. boliviensis peruviensis and S. b. boliviensis were homozygous for the absence of the insertion, which indicates that the hybrids were fertile.
