ABSTRACT

We present data on the diet of 15 species of snakes belonging to a community from Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural Feliciano Miguel Abdala, an Atlantic Forest fragment of Southeastern Brazil, based on their stomach contents. For 12 items we were able to determine the direction of the ingestion. Most snakes ingested the prey head-first. A cluster analysis was conducted with items grouped as chilopods, mollusks, adult anurans, anuran tadpoles, lizards, amphisbaenians, snakes, and rodents. The phylogenetic influence on diet preferences is discussed.


Apresentamos aqui a dieta de 15 espécies de serpentes de uma comunidade da Reserva Particular do Patrimônio Natural Feliciano Miguel Abdala, um fragmento de Mata Atlântica do sudeste do Brasil, com base na análise de conteúdos estomacais. Para 12 itens, pudemos determinar o sentido de ingestão da presa. A maioria das serpentes ingeriu a presa no sentido cranial-caudal. Realizamos uma análise de agrupamento reunindo os itens nas categorias quilópodes, moluscos, anuros adultos, girinos, lagartos, anfisbenas, serpentes e roedores. A influência da filogenia sobre a dieta das espécies é discutida.
