Abstract:
The ecology of movement is an expanding area, marked by the diversity of analytical methods and protocols, which enables this integrative reading. We investigated movement ecology aspects of Coleodactylus meridionalis in southern Bahia, northeastern Brazil, using fluorescent powder with mineral oil to track individuals. We monitored 69 individuals of C. meridionalis that walked an average distance of 148 cm in 2h. We identified this movement as foraging due to the orientation of the step sequence and microenvironments used. We find no significant differences between walking distance and weight. However, we found a decrease in activity over the follow-up period. Most of the lizard\'s movements were directed north, while south, east, and west were followed equally. The individuals stayed predominantly on the ground (leaf litter), but it was possible to observe the use of other surfaces, such as trunks and burrows on the ground. Therefore, we studied the movement in three dimensions (ground height, distance traveled, and orientation of steps). We observed the lizard\'s foraging, one of the most common and least investigated movements in small lizards like C. meridionalis. This involves not only the species\' activity schedule but other intrinsic and extrinsic factors that shape the movement decisions of individuals.
摘要:
运动的生态是一个不断扩展的领域,以分析方法和协议的多样性为标志,这使得这种综合阅读成为可能。我们调查了巴伊亚州南部子午线的运动生态学方面,巴西东北部,使用荧光粉与矿物油跟踪个人。我们监测了69个在2小时内平均行走148厘米的子午线。由于所使用的步骤顺序和微环境的方向,我们将这种运动确定为觅食。我们发现步行距离和体重之间没有显着差异。然而,我们发现随访期间活动量下降.蜥蜴的大部分动作都指向北方,而南方,东,西方也同样受到关注。个体主要停留在地面上(落叶),但是可以观察到其他表面的使用,比如地上的树干和洞穴。因此,我们研究了三维运动(地面高度,旅行距离,和步骤的方向)。我们观察到蜥蜴在觅食,在小蜥蜴中最常见和最少研究的运动之一。这不仅涉及物种活动时间表,还涉及塑造个体运动决策的其他内在和外在因素。
