Cadle and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [English abstract]. The name Dipsas variegata (Duméril, Bibron, and Duméril) has been applied to snakes disjunctively distributed in northeastern South America and in Panama and western South America. The specific name variegata is here restricted to populations occurring from Venezuela to Trinidad and French Guiana, and seemingly to the mouth of the Amazon in Brazil. Records from Colombia are unsubstantiated. The name Dipsas nicholsi (Dunn) is revalidated for a Central American endemic with an exceptionally small range in central Panama. Specimens from western Ecuador previously assigned to "Dipsas variegata nicholsi" represent a different species--Dipsas andiana (Boulenger), which is resurrected from the synonymy of Dipsas oreas (Cope). Other records of Dipsas variegata from western Ecuador and southeastern Peru are based on misidentifications of species well known from those areas. Dipsas nicholsi and D. andiana differ in some scutellation, hemipenial, and color pattern characters. The two species share an unusual head pattern, but data are insufficient to conclude that they are sister species, although their disjunct distribution pattern (Panama and Chocoan South America) is one shared by many other organisms thought to be phylogenetically related. Hemipenes of Dipsas nicholsi and D. andiana are slightly bilobed and fully capitate; the sulcus spermaticus divides within the capitulum and has centrolineal branches. The capitulum is ornamented with papillate calyces. A battery of enlarged spines encircles the organ below the capitulum (with more spines in nicholsi than in andiana). There is an elongated basal nude pocket positioned laterally on the organ. Overall hemipenial morphology is similar to other species of the tribe Dipsadini (Dipsas, Sibon, Sibynomorphus, Tropidodipsas) for which organs have been described. The Dipsadini are docile snakes that, in the authors' experience, never defend themselves by biting or even striking with mouth closed. Defensive positional deportment is nonetheless widespread and varied, most commonly including acquisition of a triangular head shape in at least three genera of Dipsadini (and other snakes as well), which is brought about by dorsolateral spreading of the quadratomandibular articulations. Either asymmetrical or symmetrical coiling and head-hiding also occur in diverse species; there is evident individual variability in some species, whereas others possibly lack specialized behavior. A specimen of Dipsas nicholsi did not show the common head triangulation, but repeatedly exhibited stereotypic stages of defensive positioning that resulted in it taking the shape of a raised spiral coil.

Book Synopsis Cusco Amazónico by : William Edward Duellman
Download or read book Cusco Amazónico written by William Edward Duellman and published by Comstock Publishing Associates. This book was released on 2005 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Assays of assemblages of amphibians and reptiles provide important information on community structure in the tropics. These ectothermic organisms are highly responsive to slight differences in the environment and to seasonal differences, such as patterns of rainfall. Most species seem to have rather restricted home ranges; therefore, data gathered in a restricted area provide much better insight into the requirements of, and potential interactions among, the species in the assemblage."--from the IntroductionThe rainforests in the southwestern part of the Amazon Basin in southeastern Peru are home to scores of amphibians and reptiles. Cusco Amazónico is a richly illustrated and comprehensive account of the lives of 151 of these species. William E. Duellman's masterpiece of community ecology includes descriptions of the physical environment and vegetation found in this unique habitat along with syntheses of abundance, mass, feeding, reproductive guilds, and daily and seasonal patterns of activity. Identification keys in English and Spanish precede detailed and illustrated species accounts. Tadpoles of many frogs are described and illustrated.Cusco Amazónico will become a standard reference for herpetologists, tropical biologists, biogeographers, ecologists, and conservationists and stands on its own as a portrait of an animal community in a unique bioregion. The illustrations include 236 color photographs, 121 charts and graphs, 16 maps, 42 line drawings, 2 halftones, and 56 sets of audiospectrograms and waveforms. There are 71 tables.
