The study of individual’s movements is important to understand the life history of the animals
and to promote strategies for management and conservation of species. Peltocephalus
dumelirianus’s movements had a significant relationship with the water temperature and the
hydrological cycle stages in which individuals move more during the ebb of the Trombetas
river and less during drought. The size of land use and movement of individuals showed no
differences between the sexes and the carapace length did not influence the results. P.
dumerilianus showed a restricted area of use during the period of study and it is concluded
that the maintenance of species is very necessary to preserve the habitat. |
