Abstract

A female black caiman (Melanosuchus niger) was monitored by radio transmitter for three years in the area of Santo Antônio hydroelectric dam in Amazonia. Her nest was inundated during the formation of the reservoir and she abandoned the area and moved to a stream. It is recommended that the formation of new reservoirs is avoided in the three months from October to December to allow caimans to hatch from their eggs before inundation.
