Recibida: 15 Abril 2015 ABSTRACT Revisada: 13 Octubre 2015 We report an event of predation between two fossorial species; the snake Anilius scytale on Aceptada: 21 Marzo 2016 the caecilian Oscaecilia bassleri, from the Manu Biosphere Reserve, southeast Peru. This is the Editor Asociado: A. Prudente first ever report of predation on O. bassleri and complements information known about the feeding ecology of A. scytale. Tropical fossorial herpetofauna species are rarely volunteer activities. The specimen was crossing one found due to their secretive lifestyles and therefore, of the pathways within the station, and was caught there is a paucity of information about their ecology and temporarily withheld in the project work area (Maritz and Alexander, 2009; Böhm et al., 2013), to be measured and photographed. At 21:30, during including feeding habits (Maschio et al., 2010). Here the measurements, the individual started to open we report upon a predation event involving two and close its mouth and began to regurgitate an fossorial species; the caecilian, Oscaecilia bassleri individual of O. bassleri (Fig. 1). (Dunn, 1942), predated by the coral pipe snake, The individual of A. scytale was 68.5 cm in Anilius scytale (Linnaeus, 1758).

  • Snakes: Cultural Beliefs and Practices Related to Snakebites in a Brazilian Rural Settlement Dídac S Fita1, Eraldo M Costa Neto2*, Alexandre Schiavetti3
    Fita et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine 2010, 6:13 http://www.ethnobiomed.com/content/6/1/13 JOURNAL OF ETHNOBIOLOGY AND ETHNOMEDICINE RESEARCH Open Access ’Offensive’ snakes: cultural beliefs and practices related to snakebites in a Brazilian rural settlement Dídac S Fita1, Eraldo M Costa Neto2*, Alexandre Schiavetti3 Abstract This paper records the meaning of the term ‘offense’ and the folk knowledge related to local beliefs and practices of folk medicine that prevent and treat snake bites, as well as the implications for the conservation of snakes in the county of Pedra Branca, Bahia State, Brazil. The data was recorded from September to November 2006 by means of open-ended interviews performed with 74 individuals of both genders, whose ages ranged from 4 to 89 years old. The results show that the local terms biting, stinging and pricking are synonymous and used as equivalent to offending. All these terms mean to attack. A total of 23 types of ‘snakes’ were recorded, based on their local names. Four of them are Viperidae, which were considered the most dangerous to humans, besides causing more aversion and fear in the population. In general, local people have strong negative behavior towards snakes, killing them whenever possible. Until the antivenom was present and available, the locals used only charms, prayers and homemade remedies to treat or protect themselves and others from snake bites. Nowadays, people do not pay attention to these things because, basically, the antivenom is now easily obtained at regional hospitals. It is under- stood that the ethnozoological knowledge, customs and popular practices of the Pedra Branca inhabitants result in a valuable cultural resource which should be considered in every discussion regarding public health, sanitation and practices of traditional medicine, as well as in faunistic studies and conservation strategies for local biological diversity.

Understanding how different environmental factors influence species occurrence is a key issue to address the study of natural populations. However, there is a lack of knowledge on how local traits influence the microhabitat use of tropical arboreal lizards. Here, we investigated the microhabitat selection of the poorly known lizard Tropidurus lagunablanca (Squamata: Tropiduridae) and evaluated how environmental microhabitat features influence animal’s presence.

  • THE ORIGIN and EVOLUTION of SNAKE EYES Dissertation
    CONQUERING THE COLD SHUDDER: THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF SNAKE EYES Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment for the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christopher L. Caprette, B.S., M.S. **** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Thomas E. Hetherington, Advisor Approved by Jerry F. Downhower David L. Stetson Advisor The graduate program in Evolution, John W. Wenzel Ecology, and Organismal Biology ABSTRACT I investigated the ecological origin and diversity of snakes by examining one complex structure, the eye. First, using light and transmission electron microscopy, I contrasted the anatomy of the eyes of diurnal northern pine snakes and nocturnal brown treesnakes. While brown treesnakes have eyes of similar size for their snout-vent length as northern pine snakes, their lenses are an average of 27% larger (Mann-Whitney U test, p = 0.042). Based upon the differences in the size and position of the lens relative to the retina in these two species, I estimate that the image projected will be smaller and brighter for brown treesnakes. Northern pine snakes have a simplex, all-cone retina, in keeping with a primarily diurnal animal, while brown treesnake retinas have mostly rods with a few, scattered cones. I found microdroplets in the cone ellipsoids of northern pine snakes. In pine snakes, these droplets act as light guides. I also found microdroplets in brown treesnake rods, although these were less densely distributed and their function is unknown. Based upon the density of photoreceptors and neural layers in their retinas, and the predicted image size, brown treesnakes probably have the same visual acuity under nocturnal conditions that northern pine snakes experience under diurnal conditions.

Twenty amphibian and 24 reptile species were collected. Only 40% of amphibians and 12.5% of reptiles were collected in both locations. This is one of the few collections made at upland (750–800 m) locations in the Guiana Shield. Introduction palm stands (Maurita flexuosa) (Hollowell et al. 2003). The Guiana Shield region of northeastern South America Immediately west of Kato is the nearby Chiung River, is one of the world’s areas of greatest biodiversity. The a rocky-bottomed watercourse about 50 m wide with herpetofauna of the region remains poorly documented, numerous small falls and a distinct riparian zone. Many although there have been several general publications small agricultural clearings, in typical rotating “slash and on the subject (Starace 1998; Gorzula and Señaris 1999; burn” fashion, are common around Kato in the areas where Lescure and Marty 2000; Reynolds et al. 2001; Avila- savanna transitions to forest.
