Notes from Dr. Borkosky

Climate change has a perceived threat on biodiversity due to its effect on species range. Snakes of the World: A Catalogue of Living and Extinct Species-the first catalogue of its kind-covers all living and fossil snakes described between 1758 and 2012, comprising 3,509 living and 274 extinct species allocated to 539 living and 112 extinct genera. Specimen of Ptyas doriae (Regd.

Aim is the clarification of the alpha taxonomy in the genra Trimeresurus, Tropidolaemus, Ovophis and Protobothrops. The discovery of Chalicotherium. It looks more brown toward the tail: Indochinese rat snakes are silver, black, grey, brown, or orange in color.

is a rare snake in northeastern India, Myanmar and southern C, until the late 1980s. Predicted distribution (reclassified to binary format) of Ptyas doriae. ..... 8 except for anteroventral corner. The species was earlier known only from Kachin hills, Myanmar. Further, seed yield was also recorded and compared with site quality and stand growth parameters. Corresponding author: . At the moment we regard the genus Zaocys, with some reservation, as a synonym of Ptyas (Taylor, 1965).

is patchy as this snake is known only from a handful of specimens. Increased taxon sampling resulted in a phylogeny with a new higher-level topology and corroborate many lower-level relationships, strengthened by high nodal support values (> 85%) down to the species level (73.69% of nodes).

A lectotype is designated, a detailed description from live material and coloured illustrations for easy identification are provided. Bryan G. Fry states on his website and forum that this is one of the Asian colubrids that has to be handled with great care, almost as an elapid even. The finding of chalicotheriine in the present locality indicates the closed wooded habitats. El-Gabbas, A., Din, S.B.E., Zalat, S. & Gilbert, F.

All figure content in this area was uploaded by Patrick Campbell, All content in this area was uploaded by Patrick Campbell on Aug 10, 2018, Department of Life Sciences, Darwin Centr, we provide a detailed redescription of the species. Subsequently, the latter taxon was included under the former as a subspecies. SPA of Dandeli zone recorded the more tree volume and top height, followed by SPA of Madikeri zone. . Sixteen out of twenty SPAs, nearly 80% were growing in areas with site quality classes IV and V. Interestingly, none of the studied SPAs belonged to either class I or II. Copyright © 2020 MOAM.INFO.

Ptyas korros – Non Venomous – Not Dangerous. The taxonomic status of Andersen’s Roundleaf Bat Hipposideros pomona (Chiroptera: Hipposideridae) and its relationship with the taxa assigned to it has been confusing. We have examined the holotype of Ptyas hamptoni and found that characters used to distinguish it from P. doriae are inadequate and therefore we herein synonymize the former with the latter species. In the present study 20 SPAs of teak distributed in southern, central and northern parts of Karnataka, India are selected.

The following description of hemipenis is from an, an everted preparation was not available and the description follows the terminology of Dowling, basal 2/3 part is covered with large spines; at about 2/3 length of the hemipenis, an abrupt transition from spinous, to a calyculate area occurs; calyces away from distal end are large and formed of thick ridges, therefore appearing, somewhat like flounces; the ridges of caly, presence of loreal in A. Our analyses resulted in new topologies at higher- and lower-levels; resolved several previous topological issues; established novel paraphyletic affiliations; designated a new subfamily, Ahaetuliinae, for the genera Ahaetulla, Chrysopelea, Dendrelaphis, and Dryophiops; and appointed Hemerophis (Coluber) zebrinus to a new genus, Mopanveldophis. could cause any disruption in gene flow is present.

However, this, is just a hypothesis which needs to be tested using, its feeding and reproductive biology. Ota, H., Shiroma, M. & Hikida, T. (1995) Geographic V. occurrence records: a test case using cryptic geckos in Madagascar.

Though we followed the changes in generic taxonomy m, ., it is important to bear in mind that the phylogenetic affinities of neither, , which would be useful in solving this taxonomic problem, is. Studying patterns in vertebrae of the Basking shark Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, 1765) for a better understanding of the age and growth in this filter-feeding giant. Based on the morphological, craniodental and bacular characters, we establish the distinctness of these taxa. The original description and subsequent accounts of this species were all very brief.

SPAs belonged to Dandeli (Northern region) recorded more DBH and nearly round stem. Mahendra, B.C. discussion on biogeographical implications is given. Would be a thrill to see wild P. nigromarginatus although I've not been within their range yet. This specimen has been studied by us and the data is presented in Ta, differentiated the specimen by its rostral shield which was said to be wider than that of, specimens now in the possession of MCZ, ZSI and VR/ERS/Z, Fauna (1943) which implies that Smith mig, whether the ventral scale numbers over 188 (Smith used this ventral count as an upper threshold for diagnosing, MAD statistics. (VR/ERS/ZSI 501[A]) and B. We also examined ZSI 3792, said to be the ZSI syntype of Altiphylax yarkandensis (Anderson, 1872) and provide comments on its taxonomy and true status.

The overall growth of SPAs of Madikeri zone (Southern region) was found to be superior with respect to tree height, clear bole height and DBH. A brief, A mandibular fragment of Chalicotherium was collected from the lower part of Irrawaddy Formation in Tebingan area, Mygyaungye Township, Magway Region, central Myanmar. Association study showed that tree height (r=0.403) and clear bole height (r=0.412) showed positive relationship with seed yield. 1950). No. Here we provide a. redescription based on our material (Appendix 1). The continuous output was, reclassified to binary (presence / absence) using minimum training. Smith (1943) also rem, whereas specimen ZSI 11939 (with 176 ventrals) has an ESD/HLB ratio of 0.39. the intrapopulational variation of this species. However, this suggestion is generally not put into practice. Capocaccia, L. (1961) Catalogo dei tipi di rettili d. Cope, E.D. Naimi, B. In the present study, we used a very simple, yet powerful outlier detection method, the Median Absolute Deviation (Leys, observed value of a quantitative character in a singleton is an outlier or not.

These snakes live in bushes and shrubs (mainly, snakes are said to be diurnal (Das 2010).

We also predict the potential distribution of P. doriae by using Maximum Entropy modeling. neck; HW greater than HH; snout moderately el, prefrontal region the forehead slopes down steeply towards snout tip; ey, with round pupil; rostral wider than high and contacts 6 scales, n, suture between internasals smaller than that between prefrontals; lateral extensions of prefrontals descend onto, upper parts of loreal region; loreal present or absent—for example, in Z, loreal is absent whereas a small loreal is present between posterior nasal, 2, preocular contacts posterior nasal in two (ZSI 20503 and 20504) specimens whereas in Regd.
