Long-term sampling enables a new record of an anuran at the Silvânia National Forest, Central Brazil

摘要: The Cerrado is the second largest phytogeographical domain in Brazil and one priority area for conservation, since it a biodiversity hotspot (Myers et al., 2000). In Brazil, implementation of protected areas most important mechanism to conserve (Araujo 2012). However, only 4% Cerrado’s original as federal conservation units (Cabral Brito, 2013). About 210 anuran species occur Cerrado, which 51.7% are endemic (Valdujo 2012), but many localities remain poorly sampled or short-term studies available (e.g., Kopp 2010; Morais 2011). Examples long-term monitoring scarce literature, this sense Silvânia National Forest (SNF) studied from biome Bastos 2003; Bini SNF located county, Goias state, central has 466 ha area. locality have been years al.
