Brazil has about 2,000 species of amphibians and reptiles, several of which are endangered, which entails an enormous responsibility for our Country to conserve them. In this project, as a way to contribute to the conservation of amphibians and squamate reptiles, with an emphasis on Brazil, we will develop, in close collaboration with the National Center for Research and Conservation of R…
The guide includes a total of 200 snakes from the Atlantic Forest region illustrated by 240 color photographs. Ontogenetic variation and polymorphisms of color pattern are illustrated. Information on morphology (body and tail size, mass and dentition), habitat use (daily activity and substrate), diet (main items), reproductive mode (oviparous or viviparous), defensive tactics and risk of …
The Neotropical region contains a high diversity of environments with varying degrees of conservation. The distribution of many snakes may be associated with a particular environment. In Brazil, the geographic mapping of species has been used to infer the habitat of several reptiles, which has been of extreme importance to define the conservation status of many snakes. However, to accurat…
The guide includes a total of 135 snakes from the Cerrado region illustrated by 185 color photographs. Ontogenetic variation and polymorphisms of color pattern are illustrated. Information on morphology (body and tail size, mass and dentition), habitat use (daily activity and substrate), diet (main items), reproductive mode (oviparous or viviparous), defensive tactics and risk of serious …

Understanding the association of species with certain environments has a vital importance to assess the determinants of richness and diversity of an area. Aspects of the natural history of several species of Atlantic Forest snakes are relatively well known, but little is known about the association of some species to certain habitats (e.g. forested and open areas). In the case of lizards,…
Neotropical snake assemblages show high complexity and diversity. The Atlantic Forest is one of the biodiversity hotspots and has high levels of endemism. Over 150 snake species are currently known in the Atlantic Forest, but there are still many poorly studied areas. Thus, studies that provide information on the native fauna of these forests are of great importance for conservation. The …
