TL;DR: Seven species of insects related to these carcasses, being five Sarcophagidae, one Calliphoridae and one Braconidae parasitoid wasp are found, corroborating with other studies that suggests that these species have specializations for colonization of small size animal carcasses.
Abstract: Sarcophagidae and Calliphoridae related to Rhinella schneideri (Anura, Bufonidae), Bothrops moojeni (Reptilia, Serpentes) and Mabuya frenata (Reptilia, Lacertilia) carcasses in Brasilia, Brazil. This paper presents a list of necrophagous insects associated with small size carrions of two reptiles and one amphibian, found in areas of riparian forests and Cerrado sensu stricto physiognomies in a Conservation Unit located in Brasilia, Distrito Federal. We found seven species of insects related to these carcasses, being five Sarcophagidae, one Calliphoridae and one Braconidae parasitoid wasp. Lucilia eximia and Peckia (Pattonella) intermutans were the most abundant species in the study, corroborating with other studies that suggests that these species have specializations for colonization of small size animal carcasses.

TL;DR: During studies of parasites of Rhinella schneideri, tadpoles collected in a lake from the municipality of Santa Luzia, Minas Gerais, Brazil, yielded specimens with metacercariae adhered to the external intestinal wall, which is the first record and morphological characterization of R. heterocoelium for Brazil.
Abstract: Renifer heterocoelium is a parasite of the oral cavity of Neotropical snakes for which larval stages and the life cycle are still unknown. During studies of parasites of Rhinella schneideri, tadpoles collected in a lake from the municipality of Santa Luzia, Minas Gerais, Brazil, yielded specimens with metacercariae adhered to the external intestinal wall. After morphological characterization, the metacercariae were identified as R. heterocoelium. This is the first record and morphological characterization of metacercariae of R. heterocoelium for Brazil.

Abstract: El dia 25 de noviembre de 2010 encontramos un ejemplar adulto de Ophiodes sp. muerto
en la Base de Pesquisas Avancadas do Nupelia, municipio de Porto Rico, estado de Parana, Brasil. Treinta minutos mas tarde,encontramos un ejemplar adulto de Rhinella schneideri ingiriendo elejemplar de Ophiodes sp. Creemos que los casos de depredacion de Ophiodes sp. son raros y que el evento observado parece consecuencia de una estrategia oportunista de alimentacion de R. scheneideri.
