English translation:toe (clipping)
Explanation:
In this case, I think "amputação das extremidades dos artelhos" is "toe clipping". What animal is it?

Os anuros e lagartos capturados foram marcados pela técnica de amputação de artelhos (Donnelly et al. 1994), e soltos novamente.

If toe clipping is the only suitable method, a maximum of one toe per foot should be clipped. In addition, specialized toes that are essential for survival activities, such as burrowing, climbing, amplexus, nest excavation, or propulsion, should not be clipped. See Ferner (1979) or Donnelly et al. (1994) for a minimal-removal coding method.

One method of identification that has been used for rodents is toe-clipping. This method involves removal of phalangeal (toe) bones of one toe on one or more limbs. The different digits removed code the identifier.
