RESUMO:

Amphibians stand out as the group of vertebrates with the highest level of threat and with the greatest deficit of conservation studies on a global scale. Brazil has the greatest diversity of amphibians in the world and is also the country with the greatest opportunities for discovering new amphibian species. This condition of Brazil is closely related, among other factors, to its large territorial extension. Among the regions with knowledge under construction on the diversity and conservation of amphibians, we have the Upper Paraguay Basin (BAP), where the largest wetland in the world, the Pantanal. Here, it was sought to assess the diversity and conservation of amphibians in northwest BAP, Mato Grosso, Brazil. To provide information on amphibian diversity and conservation in this region, the thesis was divided into four chapters. In chapter 1, entitled “Difference in altitude shapes amphibian diversity in riparian forests in the Brazilian Pantanal”, formatted for the journal Austral Ecology. The objective was to understand how the taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity of terrestrial anurans assemblages are structured in the northern region of the Pantanal and the surrounding plateau, Mato Grosso, Brazil. In chapter 2, entitled “Species of amphibians from where everything starts to flood, municipality of Cáceres, North Pantanal, Midwest of Brazil”, formatted for the magazine Papéis Avulsos De Zoologia. The objective was to inventory and compile information on species of amphibians that occur in the northern region of the Pantanal, in the limits of the municipality of Cáceres, Mato Grosso, Brazil. In chapter 3, entitled “Amphibians from the northern region of the Alto Paraguai Basin, Mato Grosso, Brazil”, formatted for the North-Western Journal of Zoology, the objective was to present an overview of amphibian species richness for six municipalities in the northern region of BAP, Mato Grosso, Brazil. In chapter 4, under preparation, entitled “Passive acoustic monitoring for surveying anuran in the North Pantanal, Central-West Brazil”, this study aimed to evaluate the ability of passive acoustic monitoring to record anuran vocalization in the North Pantanal, Mato Grosso, Brazil. The northwest of the BAP presented a richness of 67 species of amphibians, where no species was classified as endangered, 80% presented as least concern, 11% as deficient of data, and nine have not yet been evaluated according to the classification of the international union for the conservation of nature. We highlight the surrounding plateau as a source of amphibian diversity for the region and emphasize the need for conservation measures in these environments, as they are the portion historically most affected by socioeconomic demand and are crucial for maintaining the largest wetland in the world, the Pantanal.
