The snake fauna of Córdoba province, Argentina. II. Communities associated to plant formations.
From records based on 3,966 specimens sent to the Serpentarium of the Centre for Applied Zoology between 1973 and 1981 we analice species composition, relative abundance and diversity for each main plant formation occurring in the area (29° to 35° S, 61° to 65° W). Also, the relative importance of g...

| Sumario: | From records based on 3,966 specimens sent to the Serpentarium of the Centre for Applied Zoology between 1973 and 1981 we analice species composition, relative abundance and diversity for each main plant formation occurring in the area (29° to 35° S, 61° to 65° W). Also, the relative importance of guilds is discussed.Bothrops neuwledi, Waglerophis merramil, Micrurus frontalls and Phylodryas patagoniensis are the dominant species.The greater diversity (21 species) corresponds to the Sierra Chaco woodland (Chaco serrano). The pampas, on the contrary, are depauperate in terms of species richness and abundance.We find a certain degree of association among snake species diversity, rainfall, vegetation structure and the presence of exposed rocks on soil; while agriculture and soil salinity seem to act inversely. |
