Abstract: As serpentes Bothriopsis bilineatus e Bothrops atrox são viperídeos simpátricos na Amazônia, sendo B. atrox comum e B. bilineatus mais rara. Ambas espécies apresentam uma dieta generalista, sendo que B. atrox forrageia principalmente sobre o chão e B. bilineatus é mais arborícola. Aqui, nós descrevemos o uso do habitat e padrão de atividade dessas duas serpentes em uma floresta amazônica no Rio Moa, Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre. Esse estudo foi baseado em observações durante procura visual limitada por tempo e encont… Show more

“…Some authors suggest that this seasonal pattern is related to the flooding in areas of land adjacent to streams margins, the location of the riverine villages, forcing the snakes to upland areas, increasing the likelihood of contact between humans and snakes (35). From another perspective, it is well established that snakes in the Amazon exhibit increased activity during months with higher rainfall, including Bothrops atrox and B. bilineatus (13,14,16,17). In the region of Manaus, Central Amazon, B. atrox present an unimodal seasonal activity in summer reflected in more productive collections of specimens in this season (16).…”

“…This genus includes mostly terrestrial species (e.g. B. alternatus and B. neuwiedi), as well as many that use vegetation, from the semi-arboreal B. jararaca (11) to the almost completely arboreal B. bilineatus (12)(13)(14). In at least some species, such as B. atrox, juveniles are found frequently on the vegetation than adults (15)(16)(17).…”

“…At the high Juruá River, state of Acre, B. bilineata was never found during a two years study inside the forests of Liberdade River (Bernarde et al unpublished data). On the other hand population density of B. bilineata (Hoge 1966;Cunha and Nascimento 1993;Silva-Jr. 1993;Silva-Jr. and Sites-Jr. 1995;Campbell and Lamar 2004;Turci et al 2009;Silva et al 2010) may be high in certain localities: in the forests of the lower Môa River, B. b. smaragdina was the most frequent pit viper (one snake found at each 32 hours; cf. Turci et al 2009 …”

“…We also add a new record of B. b. smaragdina for Acre (municipality of Cruzeiro do Sul, 07°45' S, 72°22' W; voucher UFACF 3761, Coleção Herpetológica da Universidade Federal do Acre, Campus Floresta, Cruzeiro do Sul), close to the westernmost report of this subspecies in Brazil, at the Môa River (07°37' S, 72°48' W) (Turci et al 2009). …”
