“…Based on the regression tree analyses, we did not find patterns associated with ecological groups that would permit us to separate the species found on the highway from those found in the adjacent vegetation cover (Figure 7) or detect apparent patterns in terms of landscape window groups. These results are in contrast to reports from other studies of road-killed snakes in the Neotropics, where a greater incidence of road kills was reported for species that were diurnal, semi-arboreal, terrestrial, and with large body sizes (Hartmann, Hartmann, & Martins, 2011;L opez-Herrera et al, 2016;Maschio et al, 2016;Ramos & Meza-Joya, 2018;Sosa & Schalk, 2016). In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, Sosa and Schalk (2016) reported that terrestrial and semi-arboreal snake species experienced more road kills (71.6 and 8.2%, respectively), with fossorial and semiaquatic species being less affected (3.7%, 2.5%, and 0.4%, respectively).…”
