Summary:
An extensive database constructed for snakes
of the American tropics has now been released by researchers. This database is
made up of museum collections from the past 150 years and demonstrates that
some Neotropical regions, such as the Cerrado in the central Brazil, contain a
disproportionately high diversity. Furthermore, some other diverse regions are
disproportionally under sampled, such as the Amazon.
