“…The abundance of Mesoclemmys dahlia appears to have remained low over the last few years. In comparison to the value of 13.6 turtles/ha reported by Sampedro et al just seven years ago (11), across several municipalities of the jurisdiction of CARSUCRE, or an abundance of 8 turtles/ha registered in SanOnofre and Tolú,two years later (13), the present work indicates an abundance of 7.5 ind/ha in several municipalities of Sucre.…”

“…In the different localities sampled the threats detected several years ago are still maintained (11), since, according to the majority of the peasants consulted, the turtles are used for consumption and handicrafts, although they report that carranchina is the least used, as has also been raised by other researchers (13). These authors also mention that many turtles die or are physically affected as a result of the burning of vegetationin order to plant different crops, something that could be evidenced in several turtlespecimens.…”

“…The capture of individuals took place between 07:00 and 16:00. A 100 x 6 m trammel with a 5 cm eye was used for this purpose (13). In each case three sweeps were made, with a 3 hours intervals between them.…”

Mesoclemmys dahli is a critically endangered species that is endemic to the Colombian Caribbean coast, so the Tropical Biodiversity Research Group of the University of Sucre has maintained its monitoring for several years. Their abundance, habitat preferences and proportion of females with oviductal eggs were determined in 42 wells or "jagüeyes", in different localities of Sucre. 83 turtles of this species were captured for an absolute abundance of 7.5 ind/ha, lower than in previous years. It seems to prefer jagüeyes of relatively small area (up to 0.2 ha) and with abundant riparian vegetation in its perimeter. 70% of the females captured presented oviductal eggs. Evidence was obtained that some turtles can remain in the same locality for many years. Possible malformations were detected, but there is no evidence that these could be due to genetic drift. We propose that it would be opportune to create local protected areas in places inhabited by this species.

“…For some years now, ethnozoological studies have been conducted in Colombia that focused mostly on reptiles with high commercial usage, e.g., Trachemys callirostris (Gray, 1856), Iguana iguana (Linnaeus, 1758), Boa constrictor Linnaeus, 1758 and Tupinambis teguixin (Linnaeus, 1758), among others [11][12][13][14]. Nevertheless, there is little information about the use and perception of herpetofauna as a biological group, which is concerning when the high biological diversity of Colombia and Andes mountains is taken into account [9,15,16].…”

Background: The study of human-nature relationship has made possible to understand the life dynamics of the communities and the biodiversity with which they cohabit. Although there has been a rise of ethnobiological studies over the last decade, little is known about human interaction with herpetofauna in South America and Colombia. In this work, we analyzed the knowledge, perception, and interaction of a local community located in the forest reserve of Quininí (RFPCQ) in Cundinamarca (Colombia), concerning to the herpetofauna that inhabits the area. Methods: We performed semi-structured surveys containing 30 questions categorized into three groups: academic knowledge (1), use and cultural beliefs (2), and interactions (3) related to the herpetofauna that occurs in the region. The obtained data in question groups 1 and 2 are presented as a qualitative summary. For the question group 3, we assigned the answers to a hostility value according to the possible reaction of each individual interviewed in a hypothetical encounter with the herpetofauna and built tendency charts in order to see the positive or negative reactions due to the birthplace (urban/rural) and gender (male/female). Results: The community recognized the presence of amphibians and reptiles that cohabit their space, as well as their potential habitats. Besides, the role of herpetofauna was recognized in the magical/religious traditions for some inhabitants of the region, mainly associated with the fate and cure of chronic diseases. In general, the perception of amphibians and reptiles varied according to the origin and gender of the people, which tend to have a more positive perception of reptiles than compared to amphibians in most cases.(Continued on next page)

14 Background: The study of human-nature relationship has made possible to understand the life 15 dynamics of the communities and the biodiversity with which cohabits. Although ethnobiological 16 studies have been rise over the last decade, little is known about human interaction with herpetofauna 17in South America and in Colombia. In this work, we analyzed the knowledge, perception, and 18 interaction of a local community located in the forest reserve of Quininí (RFPCQ) in Cundinamarca 19 (Colombia), with respect to the herpetofauna that inhabits the area. 20Methods: We performed semi-structured surveys containing 30 questions categorized into three 21 groups: academic knowledge (1), use and cultural beliefs (2) and interaction and perception (3) related 22 to the herpetofauna that occurs in the region. For the obtained data in question groups 1 and 2, an 23 analysis and classification of the answers in percentages were made. For the question group 3, we 24 assigned the answers with a hostility value according to the possible reaction of each individual 25 interviewed in a hypothetical encounter with the herpetofauna, and performed a Multivariate Ordinal 26 2Logistic Regression test (MOLR), in order to know if the positive or negative reactions could be 27 predicted by demographic variables. 28Results: The community recognized the presence of amphibians and reptiles that cohabit their space, 29 as well as their potential habitats. In addition, the role of herpetofauna was recognized in the 30 magical/religious traditions for some inhabitants of the region, mainly associated with the fate and 31 cure of chronic diseases. In general, the perception of amphibians and reptiles varied according to the 32 origin and gender of the people, tend to have a more positive perception about reptiles than 33 amphibians in most cases. 34 Conclusions: Although there was a general lack of knowledge on the part of the inhabitants of the 35 RFPCQ about the biological and ecological aspects of herpetofauna, the population recognized the 36 basic information about the habitats of these animals within the area of the reserve. There is a wide 37 variety of uses of amphibians and reptiles in traditional medicine. Greater efforts should be made in 38 the transmission and dissemination of knowledge about the ecological functions of herpetofauna. 39 Background 41 Human communities have established a close relationship with the herpetofauna with which they 42 cohabit, based on the use and understanding of amphibians and reptiles [1,2]. Thereby, the 43 ethnoherpetology (as an integral part of ethnobiology) studies traditional knowledge between human-44 herpetofauna relationships, such as how a social group classifies and identifies different amphibians 45 and reptiles species and their traditional uses [3]. 46The Reserva Forestal Protectora Cerro Quininí (RFPCQ) forest reserve is a conservation area located 47 in Sumapaz province (Cundinamarca, Colombia), which is one of the most important biological 48 corridors not only for the region ...
