Secretaria da Saúde (São Paulo - Estado). Instituto Butantan (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Scientific Researcher (Level VI) at the Instituto Butantan. Selma earned her doctorate in Sciences and her post-doctorate in Anatomy of Wild Animals from the School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science at the University of São Paulo. She has vast background in Animal Reproduction and is primarily interested in understanding how the incidence of snakebites is influenced by snake biological variables, such as sexual maturity, ontogeny, and activity pattern. She also investigates the reproductive cycles and evolution of reproductive strategies of snakes and lizards. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Organisms that inhabit islands differ predictably from their continental counterparts in a number of ecological, morphological, behavioral, demographic and reproductive characteristics. These differences are collectively referred to as the "island syndrome". Although this phenomenon has been consistently described in a wide variety of animal and plant species, recent comparative evidence …
The animals known as snakes or cobras belong to the order of Squamata and have the second largest number of species within the class Reptilia. They have an elongated body, which consequently resulted in a series of morphological adaptations such as the reduction or total loss of locomotor limbs and asymmetry of the paired organs, including the reproductive ones. The forelimbs and the scap…
The reproductive cycle of snakes are coordinate evolutionarily for genetic factories and synchronize by seasonal weather (four seasons). In the tropical regions the cold of winter is less marked than temperate zones and there is a diversity microclimate inside of biome. It's uncertainty if the difference of temperature and rainfall are capable to change the reproductive cycle in the speci…
The Golden Lancehead (Bothrops insularis) is an endemic snake of the island of Queimada Grande, Southern coast of São Paulo, and is considered an endangered species. The development of ex situ breeding programs aimed at increasing the numbers of individuals, as well as preservation of their natural habitat are necessary to prevent the decline of this fragile population. Nevertheless, the …
