Ecologia e história natural das serpentes de uma área de Caatinga no nordeste brasileiro

A fauna de serpentes do bioma Caatinga e uma das menos estudadas do Brasil. Estudamos a assembleia de serpentes de uma area de Caatinga arbustivo-arborea a fim de descrever a historia natural das especies ocorrentes na regiao. Um total de 636 individuos de 22 especies de quatro familias foi registrado. A distribuicao das abundâncias das especies na area e log-normal e a composicao apresenta serpentes tipicas de Caatinga sendo Oxybelis aeneus (Wagler, 1824) e Philodryas nattereri Steindachner, 1870 as especies mais comuns. A historia natural de cada especie e descrita a partir das informacoes sobre padroes de atividade, dieta, uso do ambiente, reproducao e repertorio defensivo obtidas durante o estudo e de informacoes disponiveis na literatura. A area de estudo esta em uma area prioritaria para conservacao e os resultados reforcam que politicas conservacionistas sejam aplicadas na regiao.
