Sexual dimorphism in the brown vine-snake Oxybelis aeneus from the State of Ceara, Brazil. Several different pressures determine the reproductive success among males and females, and that is the reason why morphological differences between the sexes are expected to be found in any given species. Oxybelis aeneus is a tiny and slender arboreal snake that is widely distributed from the United States to southeaster...
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior; Herein we present a four chapter study on the ecology of a snake assemblage from the Brazilian semi-arid. The first chapter is the comparison of the efficiency of four traditional methods used to sample snakes: time-constrained search, occasional encounters by the staff, occasional encounters by thirds and pitfall traps with drift-fences. We conclude ...
Several different pressures determine the reproductive success among males and females, and that is the reason why morphological differences between the sexes are expected to be found in any given species. Oxybelis aeneus is a tiny and slender arboreal snake that is widely distributed from the United States to southeastern Brazil. The analysis of 102 specimens provided information on sexual dimorphism for this ...
