- Abstract
The article reports on a study on the cause of the death of a female Phrynops geoffroanus, found dead in a pond located at a Municipal Park in Parana, Brazil on November 3, 2016. It found that a population decrease and eventual local extirpation in P. geoffroanus could be caused by accidental mortality although it is not considered threatened and has a wide geographic distribution.
