Abstract

Many field studies of ecology or conservation require individual identification of the animals, and for this, several marking techniques have been developed. However, no specific labeling technique has been tested for fossorial reptiles, such as amphisbaenians. We describe the use of Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags as a long-term labeling method of the amphisbaenian Trogonophis wiegmanni. We present the details of the marking procedure and examine the benefits and drawbacks of the technique considering the fossorial environment. After marking many individuals in a long-term field study, we can ensure that the marks were easily applicable and were not lost over a period of at least four years. Moreover, PIT tags did not negatively affect the body condition of amphisbaenians. We conclude that PIT tags are useful for doing field studies of this and similar fossorial species.

PIT标记作为化石爬行动物的标记技术:对两栖类Trogonophis wiegmanni的长期实地研究
许多生态学或自然保护的实地研究需要对动物进行个体鉴定,为此,开发了几种标记技术。然而,对于化石爬行动物,如两栖动物,还没有专门的标记技术进行过测试。我们描述了使用无源集成应答器(PIT)标签作为一种长期标记方法的两鱼种维格曼穴居鼠。我们介绍了标记程序的细节,并研究了考虑到化石环境的技术的优点和缺点。在对许多人进行长期的实地研究后,我们可以确保这些标记很容易适用,并且在至少四年的时间内不会丢失。此外,PIT标签对两栖动物的身体状况没有负面影响。我们的结论是,PIT标签是有用的,做实地研究这和类似的化石物种。

期刊介绍: Acta Herpetologica, a journal open to academics all over the world, offers itself as a new site for the presentation and discussion of the most recent results in the field of research on Amphibians and Reptiles, both living and extinct. The official journal of the Societas Herpetologica Italica (S.H.I.), Acta Herpetologica publishes original works – extended articles, short notes and book reviews – mostly in English, dealing with the biology and diversity of Amphibians and Reptiles.
