Marcação com anilhas em lagartos: aspectos positivos e negativos de um novo método de marcação. Studies on population ecology need data on demographic parameters, which are obtained by long-term studies that rely on individuals’ identification. Concerning lizard marking methods, several protocols are known and widely used, though the choice may be limited to the nature of the study, the desired number of recaptures and time and budget constraints. Marking with rings consists of using an aluminum ring, colored and/or numbered, which can be used on the individuals’ wings or legs, thus allowing the recognition of individuals. Field work was carried out from February 2010 to January 2011. Collections were seasonal and lasted 15 days each. Individuals were actively searched and manually captured. Marking was performed by placing numbered aluminum rings, which were adapted from metal rings normally used on bats. Throughout the study, 790 individuals of Homonota uruguayensis were marked and 290 (41.04 %) were recaptured. Individuals smaller than 27 mm could not be marked. In this study, this marking method proved to be an effective alternative, since it is easily used in the field and it also identifies individuals accurately.
