Snakes of the Genus Oxyrhopus (Colubridae: Squamata) in Colombia: Taxonomy and Geographic Variation
Volume 49(25):319‑337, 2009 Snakes of the genus OXYRHOPUS (Colubridae: Squamata) in Colombia: taxonomy and geographic variation John D. Lynch1 ABSTRacT Four species of Oxyrhopus occur in Colombia, one (O. leucomelas) of which is Andean and the other three occur in lowlands. No geographic variation was detected in O. occipitalis but there is marked geographic variation in color pattern and scutellation for the widely distributed O. petola. Recognition of subspecies within O. petola is possible but appears to obscure more than it illuminates. The snake previously reported as O. melanogenys or O. aff. melanogenys is diagnosed as a previously unrecognized species. Keywords: Geographic variation; New species; Oxyrhopus. INTRODUCTION for Colombian specimens of Oxyrhopus leucomelas (Campbell & Lamar, 1989, 2004) and O. petola The current taxonomy of snakes of the genus (Renjifo & Lundberg, 1999).

Claudia María López The dissertation examines the dynamics of conflict-induced internal displacement on the urban integration and citizenship of peasants in Medellín, Colombia. Using this case study of displacement in Colombia—which has the largest population of internally displaced persons in the world—my dissertation fills in a gap in the migration literature that does not adequately address internal and forced migration. -
Raw-Earth Housing in Antioquia, Colombia
This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Harmonisation between Architecture and Nature (ARC 2016) www.witconferences.com Raw-earth housing in Antioquia, Colombia B. E. Saldarriaga Molina School of Architecture, Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Colombia Abstract Taking into account the issues with public housing developments in Colombia and consequently in Antioquia, solutions are intended for applications that open future possibilities for the national context. The Universidad Pontifica Bolivariana (UPB) and the Government of Antioquia promote a research project to develop low cost housing based on two components: rammed earth and reinforced concrete. This paper deals with the raw earth module of that investigation. After evaluating the guidelines for social housing in Antioquia and previous developments carried out, a number of proposals were formulated to solve the accumulated deficit of Antioquia. The suggested solutions take into account the legacy of earth-based construction in Colombia and also analyse international, Latin-American, Colombian precedents in raw earth construction. At the same time the different regions of Antioquia were visited, with the intent to incorporate the local housing models and techniques, their constructive culture, their natural and local resources, and environment. Workshops were held alongside these visits and communities from across the different regions of Antioquia were invited to learn from the different construction methods promoted by the research project. Two construction methods, metal structure bahareque (wattle and daub) and compressed earth blocks (CEB), were used to build housing prototypes as part of the research project. These prototypes serve as a proposal for future housing developments in Antioquia. -
