Resumo
ROJAS-MORALES, Julián A.; MARIN-MARTINEZ, Mateo e ZULUAGA-ISAZA, Juan C.. Taxonomic and ecogeographical aspects of some snakes (Reptilia: Colubridae) from the influence area of the Miel I hydroelectric project, Caldas, Colombia. Biota colombiana [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.2, pp.73-91. ISSN 0124-5376. https://doi.org/10.21068/c2018.v19n02a07.
This study presents records for some poorly known snake species in Colombia and information on the distribution, morphological characteristics, natural history notes and comments on the species Oxyrhopus occipitalis, Scaphiodontophis annulatus, Tantilla alticola, Urotheca fulviceps and Urotheca lateristriga. Records are the result of wild fauna monitoring developed in the Miel I hydroelectric project in the eastern department of Caldas from 2014 to 2015. Increased forest cover in this area has contributed to the conservation of local and regional biodiversity, including snakes. Suggested short-term actions for snake conservation in this area should include the implementation of road signs to avoid roadkills.
