Item Hopper Dredging Impacts on Sea Turtles on the Northern Coast of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil(2015) GOLDBERG, D.W.; ALMEIDA, D.T.; TOGNIN, F.; LOPEZ, G.G.; PIZETTA, G.T.; JUNIOR, N.O.L.; SFORZA, R.The northern coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro, eastern Brazil, isan important nesting ground for loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta),with about 1500 nests laid annually (Lima et al. 2012). It also hosts foraging grounds for juvenile green turtles (Chelonia mydas) and serves as a migration corridor (and possibly provides foraging habitat) for olive ridley turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) (Reis et al. 2010; TAMAR - Brazilian Sea Turtle Conservation Program database, unpublished data) and leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea) turtles (López-Mendilaharsu et al. 2009).Item Ticks (Ixodida) associated with bats (Chiroptera): an updated list with new records for Brazil(2023-08-19) Lourenço, Elizabete Captivo; Famadas, Kátia Maria; Gomes, Luiz Antonio Costa; Bergallo, Helena GodoyBats harbor diverse groups of ectoparasites, such as insects and mites like ticks (Ixodida). Some species of ticks with records for bats and humans have already been reported with the occurrence of pathogens. This research article aims to document new geographical and host records of ticks infesting bats in Rio de Janeiro state, Southeastern Brazil, and provides a list of tick species associated with bats in Brazil. We counted 12 argasid ticks and five ixodid ticks associated with six individuals of bats. Larvae of Amblyomma sp., Ixodes sp., Ornithodoros sp., and Ornithodoros hasei and one nymph of Amblyomma sculptum parasitizing Artibeus obscurus, Phyllostomus hastatus, Micronycteris sp., Molossus fluminensis, and Carollia perspicillata in different localities of Rio de Janeiro state were studied. We carried out a systematic review with the descriptors: tick bat Brazil. We considered data from 42 articles in the systematic review. We compiled eleven records of Ixodidae, and 160 records of Argasidae. Ornithodoros cavernicolous were the most recorded tick species. Overall, we registered 171 tick–bat or roost–bat associations with 85 records of these infesting bats. The review also shows the occurrence of tick species associated with bats, and we present new records on ticks parasitizing bats in Brazil.
