Registros de morcegos como presas de serpentes são bastante escassos na literatura, mas trabalhos recentes têm evidenciado que essa predação não parece ser um fenômeno incomum. Apresentamos aqui o primeiro registro de predação do morcego Carollia perspicillata pela falsa coral Oxyrhopus petolarius em uma área de Mata Atlântica na região Nordeste do Brasil. Palavras-chave: Dieta; Falsa coral; Morcegos; Serpentes Abstract Records of bats as prey of snakes are very few in the literature, but recent studies have shown that this predation doesn’t seem to be an unusual phenomenon. We present here the first record of predation on the bat Carollia perspicillata by the false coral snake Oxyrhopus petolarius in an Atlantic Rainforest area in the Northeastern Brazil.

Because rear-fanged snakes are a diverse and distinct radiation of the advanced snakes, understanding venom composition among “colubrids” is critical to understanding the evolution of venom among snakes. Here we review the state of knowledge concerning rear-fanged snake venom composition, emphasizing those toxins for which protein or transcript sequences are available. We have also added new transcriptome-based data on venoms of three species of rear-fanged snakes. Based on this compilation, it is apparent that several components, including cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRiSPs), C-type lectins (CTLs), CTLs-like proteins and snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs), are broadly distributed among “colubrid” venoms, while others, notably three-finger toxins (3FTxs), appear nearly restricted to the Colubridae (sensu stricto).

January 2014 / Available online: 17. March 2014 / Printed: December 2014 Abstract. Herpetotheres cachinnans is a Neotropical falcon species found in a variety of forested to semi-open habitats from Mexico to Argentina. Despite H. cachinnans being known to consume a variety of prey types, snakes comprise the majority of its diet in terms of taxonomic richness and frequency. Here, we present a detailed review about prey records of H. cachinnans. A total of 122 prey records were compiled from 73 literature references and authors’ records. Snakes were the most common prey, with 94 records (77%). Analysis of 24 stomach contents (from literature and author’s records) show that 71% contained remains of at least one snake, and 62.5% had snakes exclusively. A snake-based diet seems to be uncommon in raptors, and H. cachinnans is the only one presenting such degree of diet specialization in the Neotropics.
