Resumo

Análises recentes de endemismo e níveis de ameaça antrópica identificaram regiões-alvo para a conservação, os chamados "hotspots". Entretanto, nosso conhecimento acerca da distribuição da biodiversidade em cada uma dessas áreas, bem como dos fatores que a originaram são escassos. Tal deficiência limita nosso poder de conservação face às rápidas mudanças ambientais causadas pelo homem. Uma das vertentes deste projeto visa estudar o papel das flutuações climáticas do Pleistoceno sobre a riqueza da herpetofauna e os níveis de diversidade genética de anuros e lagartos de regiões elevadas e de baixada da Mata Atlântica. Utilizando técnicas de modelagem de nicho ecológico acopladas ao estudo filogeográfico o projeto irá documentar padrões de diversidade de espécies numa região particularmente pouco estudada, altamente ameaçada e megadiversa e terá importantes aplicações para a conservação do pouco que resta dessa área. Em outra vertente estudamos o papel das montanhas como áreas favorecendo a diversificação adaptativa da herpetofauna, seja atuando como refúgios para espécies de climas frios durante fases quentes, seja como cenários para especiação ecogeográfica. Sob enfoque morfológico, cariotípico, taxonômico, filogenético e filogeográfico, dá-se prosseguimento ao trabalho com táxons de répteis e anfíbios dos vários ecossistemas brasileiros, recolhendo subsídios para melhor compreender sua evolução e a história biogeográfica do continente. Em um caso procura-se estudar a filogeográfia comparada de uma linhagem de lagartos sul-americanos sua equivalente ecológica africana com base em dados moleculares, de modo a procurar estabelecer correlações intercontinentais sobre sua história e origem. As coletas realizadas em áreas pouco ou ainda não amostradas no estado e no país permitirão aprimorar o conhecimento sobre nossa biodiversidade, descrevendo espécies ainda não conhecidas e, associadas aos dados filogenéticos e filogeográficos obtidos, permitirão obter informações importantes para o delineamento de estratégias de conservação adequadas de nossa biota.
