Identificação e análise das áreas domicilares do boto-cinza, Sotalia guianensis (Van Bénéden, 1864), no estuário de Cananéia, São Paulo

Abstract

O conceito de área domiciliar, ou home range, foi definido como “a área utilizada por um indivíduo em suas atividades normais de forrageamento, reprodução e cuidado da prole”. O estudo sobre o uso de área pode fornecer informações sobre padrões de reprodução, organização e interações sociais, recursos limitantes e componentes importantes do habitat. É escasso o conhecimento sobre as características relacionadas à forma com que o boto-cinza, Sotalia guianensis (Van Bénéden, 1864) (Cetacea, Delphinidae), usa seu habitat. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e analisar as áreas domiciliares de S. guianensis no estuário de Cananéia (~2503‟S; 47o55‟W), litoral sul de São Paulo. Os esforços para coleta de dados foram realizados entre os anos de 2000 e 2010 com o uso da técnica de foto-identificação. A referida técnica permite aos investigadores identificar indivíduos de uma população ao longo do tempo e do espaço. De 135.918 fotografias batidas, 34.086 (25%) foram consideradas úteis para identificações individuais. Duzentos e cinco indivíduos foram catalogados através das marcas identificadas em suas nadadeiras dorsais. Utilizando os pontos de localização dos indivíduos identificados foi possível estimar o tamanho das áreas domiciliares de 31 indivíduos que apresentaram 20 ou mais avistagens em dias distintos. Quatro métodos foram testados com a extensão Home Range Tools para o ArcGIS 9.2 para analisar e comparar as áreas domiciliares estimadas: Mínimo polígono convexo (MPC), kernel adaptativo com validação cruzada de quadrados mínimos (LSCV), kernel fixo com largura de referência (href) e kernel fixo com LSCV

The concept of home range was described elsewhere as “the area traversed by the individual in its normal activities of food gathering, mating and caring of young”. Home range studies provide significant insights on mating patterns, social organization and interactions, limiting resources and important components of the habitat. Knowledge about habitat use by Guiana dolphins, Sotalia guianensis (Van Bénéden, 1864) (Cetacea, Delphinidae), is still scarce. The aim of this study was to identify and analyze homes ranges of Guiana dolphins in the Cananéia estuary (~2503‟S; 47o55‟W), southern São Paulo state. Photo-identification efforts were conducted between 2000 and 2010. This technique allows investigators to identify individuals in a population through time and space. From a total 135,918 pictures taken, 34,086 (25%) were good quality pictures useful for individual identification. Two hundred and five individuals were catalogued based on permanent notches in their dorsal fins. Using the locations of the identified individuals, it was possible to estimate home range sizes of 31 individuals which had 20 or more sightings in distinct days. Four methods were tested with the Home Range Tools extension for ArcGIS 9.2, to analyze and compare the estimated home ranges: minimum convex polygon (MCP), adaptative kernel with least squares crossvalidation (LSCV), fixed kernel with reference bandwidth (href) and fixed kernel with LSCV
