Resumo: Polymorphic variations may act on chromatic alterations, which in excess cause hyperpigmentation (melanic individuals), and when deficient are responsible for hypopigmentation (albinism, leuctic or piebald individuals) and may be associated with ecological aspects, physiology and other biological processes. In Brazil, leucism has been observed in a few carnivorous species and may represent a sporadic event in this group of animals, since chromatic alterations of hypopigmentation can cause negative effects on individuals, such as increased vulnerability to predation. Nevertheless, an individual of Cerdocyon thous with leucism was observed on the premises of the Campus of Agricultural Sciences of UNIVASF, a rural area of Petrolina, Pernambuco. When seen, the canidae exhibited the same behavioral characteristics as other normal specimens and fled to adjacent areas with natural vegetation.

No Brasil, o leucismo foi observado em poucas espécies de carnívoros, podendo representar um evento esporádico nesse grupo de animais, uma vez que as alterações cromáticas de hipopigmentação podem causar efeitos negativos sobre os indivíduos, como vulnerabilidade aumentada à predação. Ainda assim, observou-se um indivíduo de Cerdocyon thous, nas dependências do Campus de Ciências Agrárias da UNIVASF, zona rural de Petrolina, Pernambuco, que apresentou leucismo. Ao ser avistado, o canídeo apresentou as mesmas características comportamentais de outros espécimes normais, com a fuga para áreas adjacentes com vegetação natural.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2019-02-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2019v32n1p9310.5007/2175-7925.2019v32n1p93Biotemas; v. 32 n. 1 (2019); 93-982175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2019v32n1p93/38476Copyright (c) 2019 Leandro da Silva Oliveira, Iardley Cícero Gomes Varjão, Luiz Cezar Machado Pereira, Patrícia Avello Nicola-Pereirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Leandro da SilvaGomes Varjão, Iardley CíceroMachado Pereira, Luiz CezarNicola-Pereira, Patrícia Avello2019-03-01T09:20:52Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/55641Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2019-03-01T09:20:52Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
