Oviposition observation of Tropidodryas serra (Serpentes: Dipsadidae) [PDF]
Tropidodryas serra is an endemic snake from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest and despite its wide distribution, little is known about its ecology. Tropidodryas serra is an oviparous snake, but there are few available data on its reproductive cycle.

Object detection‐assisted workflow facilitates cryptic snake monitoring
Camera traps are powerful tools used to study animals. However, camera trap studies often produce large datasets requiring labor‐intensive classification. While many object detection models have been developed to facilitate image analysis, their efficacy when presented with novel species and systems is poorly understood.

Climate Change in the Brazilian Cerrado: A Looming Threat to Terrestrial Biodiversity
Due to climate change, the Brazilian Cerrado, a global biodiversity hotspot, is becoming hotter and drier, with longer and more intense dry seasons. This alters biodiversity by altering plant physiology, ecological interactions, and species distribution, creating more homogeneous and less diverse communities.

Effect of Soil Properties on Species Richness of Fossorial Squamate Reptiles
ABSTRACT Aim Species richness varies greatly over geographic gradients. Climate and other above‐ground attributes are the most common variables used to explain animal richness patterns. However, soil properties may play an important role in shaping the richness of species living underground.
