Snakes from the Atlantic Rainforest area of Serra do Mendanha, in Rio de Janeiro state, southeastern Brazil: a first approximation to the taxocenosis composition

Abstract: We studied the species composition of the snake community of Serra do Mendanha, in Rio de Janeiro state, Southeastern Brazil, with an effort of 800 hours/man in different habitats, including undisturbed forest, secondary forest, areas under regeneration, and banana plantation. We sampled snakes monthly in the area using a combination of methods including intensive visual searching and pitfall traps with drift-fences. We found a total of 191 individuals of 27 snake species, belonging to four families: Boidae, C… Show more

“…Shrubby and opened areas might also be the preferred habitat for boa snakes (Boa constrictor) (Pontes et al 2008), one of the most important hosts of adult stages of A. fuscum in Brazil and, particularly, in the Estação Ecológica de Tapacurá (Dantas-Torres et al 2008). Thereby, engorged female ticks would find ideal conditions to lay eggs and, consequently, the hatched larvae would be more successful in finding small mammals, their primary hosts.…”

“…This individual had ingested three Physalaemusjordanensis Bokermann, 1967 (two were ingested head-first and the last by the leg). Pontes et al (2008) found E.cephalostriata only in primary and secondary forests. The presence of P.jordanensis (found in PESP just in open area marshes, F. Menezes pers.…”

“…Specimens identified as Thamnodynastes sp. by Salles and Silva-Soares (2010) belong to Thamnodynastesnattereri (Mikan, 1820) (Franco and Ferreira 2002), as well as the specimens cited as Thamnodynastescf.nattereri by Marques and Sazima (2004), Centeno et al (2008), Pontes et al (2008), Bertoluci et al (2009), Hartmann et al (2009b), Silveira et al (2010), Vrcibradic et al (2011), Moura et al (2012) and Citeli et al (2016). Specimens considered as Chironiusflavolineatus (Jan, 1863) by Condez et al (2009), São Pedro and Pires (2009), Forlani et al (2010) and Silveira et al (2010) were described as Chironiusbrazili Hamdan & Fernandes, 2015 (Hamdan and Fernandes 2015).…”

“…Esse padrão contraria a generalização infundada de que espécies de áreas abertas são generalistas de hábitat e boas colonizadoras. É importante ressaltar que alguns elementos da fauna, como Bothrops jararaca e Elapomorphus quinquelineatus, são considerados endêmicos do bioma de Floresta Atlântica (Pontes et al 2008), o que de Caldas (MG), quatro das quais foram registradas na EPDA-Peti; Tupinambis merianae, Hemidactylus mabouia (introduzida), Ameiva ameiva e Ophiodes sp. ; as três primeiras são espécies comuns, amplamente distribuídas e tolerantes a alterações ambientais, fazendo parte de quase todas as taxocenoses dentro de suas áreas de distribuição.…”
