Aspectos taxonómicos y ecogeográficos de algunas serpientes (Reptilia: Colubridae) del área de influencia de la Central Hidroeléctrica Miel I, Caldas, Colombia

Abstract: Entre los años 2014 y 2015 se obtuvieron registros para algunas especies de serpientes poco conocidas en Colombia, como producto de los monitoreos de fauna silvestre en las zonas de influencia de la Central Hidroeléctrica Miel I en el oriente del departamento de Caldas. Presentamos información sobre la distribución, características morfológicas, anotaciones de historia natural y comentarios de Oxyrhopus occipitalis, Scaphiodontophis annulatus, Tantilla alticola, Urotheca fulviceps y Urotheca lateristriga. Cons… Show more

“…It should be noted that in the Manso River we also recorded other species of snakes that inhabit well preserved habitats (e.g. Oxyrhopus occipitalis, Scaphiodontophis annulatus) (Rojas-Morales et al 2018). Currently, the information about the distribution of D. boshelli is still inconclusive, and it is possible that this species has a wider distribution along the Middle Magdalena River, encompassing the lowland and pre-montane humid forests of the Eastern and Central Cordilleras in Colombia.…”

“…In contrast, this species is infrequently recorded in lowland humid and premontane forests of northern South America. The high diversity of amphibians (Díaz-Ayala and Zuluaga-Isaza 2015) and other small vertebrates (potential prey for C. grandisquamis) and the presence of well-preserved forested habitats and abundant permanent water sources in the study area (see Rojas-Morales et al 2018 would suggest that this is suitable habitat for the species. However, activity patterns and use of cryptic microhabitats in complex vegetative communities could easily result in the non-detection of many individuals, generating a bias in the observed abundance.…”

“…La familia Colubridae a pesar de ser la familia de reptiles más numerosa y de estar presente en diversos ecosistemas, es también un grupo menos estudiado (Rojas-Morales et al, 2018) a diferencia de los anfibios, esto podría deberse a que estas serpientes son más raras en los ecosistemas y para obtener buenos registros es necesario invertir mayor esfuerzo de muestreo.…”
