New Colombian records and ecological niche modeling of Phimophis guianensis (Serpentes: Dipsadidae) ; Nuevos registros colombianos y modelamiento de nicho ecológico de Phimophis guianensis (Serpentes: Dipsadidae)

The snake Phimophis guianensis occurs in seven Central and South American countries. However, our understanding of its distribution and natural history remains limited, especially in Colombia. To bridge this knowledge gap, we compiled locality records from Colombia and created the first-ever ecological niche model for the species throughout its entire range. Our review of the published literature, museum collections, digital platforms, and personal fieldwork increased the number of known localities for P. guianensis in Colombia to 102. This dataset substantiated range extensions of over 150 km... Mehr ...
