However, only 160,000 km2 of AF still remains, the Historical data on deforestation show that 11% of equivalent to 12.5% of the original forest (SOS Mata AF was destroyed in only ten years, leading to a tragic Atlântica and INPE, 2014). Given the high degree of estimate that, if this rhythm is maintained, in fifty years threat towards this biome, concomitantly with its high deforestation will completely eliminate what is left of species richness and significant endemism, AF has AF outside parks and other categories of conservation been classified as one of twenty-five global biodiversity units (SOS Mata Atlântica, 2017). The future of the AF hotspots (e.g., Myers et al., 2000; Mittermeier et al., will depend on well-planned, large-scale conservation 2004). Our current knowledge of the AF’s ecological strategies that must be founded on quality information structure is based on only 0.01% of remaining forest. about its remnants to support informed decision- making processes (Kim and Byrne, 2006), including the investigations of faunal and floral richness and composition, creation of new protected areas, the planning of restoration projects and the management of natural resources.

  • 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.

    Herpetology Notes, volume 12: 205-209 (2019) (published online on 16 January 2019) Offspring morphology and early growth of Thamnodynastes pallidus (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (Serpentes; Thachymenini) William M. da Silva¹, Paula F. de Araújo2, Rafaela C. de França3,4, Isabella M. M. C. Pedrosa2, and Frederico G. R. França2,5,* The genus Thamnodynastes comprises 19 species Information about the reproduction of T. pallidus is in South America, all presenting an opisthoglyphous scarce. Marques et al. (2014) found two reproductive dentition and viviparous reproductive mode (Nóbrega females in the Atlantic Forest in the State of Bahia, et al., 2016; Pereira-Filho et al., 2017). Thamnodynastes presenting two oviductal eggs in September 2008 and pallidus (Linnaeus, 1758) is a small snake (reaching six ovarian follicles in July 2013. Santana et al.

The species’ poison may present a mild early growth of T. pallidus based on the fetuses and or high toxicity (Araújo et al., 2018). Thamnodynastes newborns of two adult females collected during active pallidus occurs in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, searches in the Reserva Biológica (REBIO) Guaribas Peru, Suriname, Venezuela, and Brazil (Nóbrega et (6.8068°S, 35.0871°W, 46 m elevation; Datum al., 2016). In Brazil, it presents a disjoint distribution WGS84), an Atlantic Forest fragment located in the including the Amazonian Forest in the States of Pará, Rio Tinto municipality, Paraíba State, northeast Brazil Rondônia, Acre, and Mato Grosso do Sul, and the (Mesquita et al., 2018).

We analyzed carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios to estimate percent con- Isotopic niche tributions of different prey to snake biomass, trophic positions and isotopic niche width of juveniles and adults of Ontogeny the snake Thamnodynastes hypoconia.

  • New Records of the Dipsadid Snake Thamnodynastes Strigatus
    Herpetology Notes, volume 12: 613-615 (2019) (published online on 18 Juni 2019) New records of the dipsadid snake Thamnodynastes strigatus (Günther, 1858) preying on the characid fish Astyanax bockmanni Vari & Castro, 2007 in the Atlantic Forest of Southern Brazil Dirley Bortolanza-Filho1, Ricardo Lourenço-de-Moraes1,*, Mileny Otani1, Giuliana Franklin Lemos1, and Cláudio Henrique Zawadzki1 The genus Thamnodynastes Wagler, 1830 currently h at Recanto das Águias, Iguaraçu Municipality, Paraná comprises 20 valid species (Uetz et al., 2018). State, southern Brazil (23.1933°S, 51.8424°W). Just Thamnodynastes strigatus occurs in South America, after collection and placement into a containment bag, from Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, to southern the snake regurgitated an intact individual of the fish and southeastern Brazil (Peters and Orejas-Miranda, Astyanax bockmanni Vari and Castro, 2007 (Fig. 1C). 1970; Lema et al., 1983, Lema 2002; Bernarde et al., The regurgitated fish was of moderate size (body length 2000; Achaval-Elena, 2001; Franco and Ferreira, 2002). = 7.8 cm; body width = 2.2 cm). Astyanax bockmanni However, due to the taxonomic complexity of the genus is an endemic omnivorous characid species native to the (Bailey et al., 2005; Bailey and Thomas, 2007; Bellini et al., 2013), the actual distribution and natural history of the species requires further investigation (Franco and Ferreira, 2002). Thamnodynastes strigatus is a semi-arboreal opistoglyphic snake, and an opportunistic, nocturnal predator, which frequently forages in aquatic environments (Bernarde et al., 2000; Marques et al., 2001; Franco and Ferreira, 2002; Ruffato et al., 2003). The species preys primarily on frogs but opportunistically consumes other vertebrates, including rodents, reptiles, and fish (Bernarde et al., 2000).
