Morphology and ecology of Sibon snakes (Squamata: Dipsadidae) from two forests in Central America

Medidas morfometricas foram tomadas, foi estimada abundância e feitas observacoes ecologicas para Sibon annulatus, S. argus, S. longifrenis e S. nebulatus em dois habitats neotropicais: Uma floresta pantanosa de baixada na Costa Rica e uma floresta de neblina no Panama. Quarenta e quatro e 58 serpentes adultas foram registradas na Costa Rica e no Panama, respectivamente. Diferencas morfologicas e na condicao corporal significativas foram minimas entre as especies para ambas as localidades. Sao discutidas as observacoes sobre alimentacao, reproducao, abundância, distribuicao e um registro de um novo tamanho maximo para S. annulatus.
