This project will determine how secondary key innovations within the venom system contribute to diversification patterns in the advanced snakes and test for biases in the genetic pathways underlying rapid phenotypie evolution in venoms as a means for understanding the mechanism underlying the process of diversification in this diverse group. In the first part, we will test for relationshi…
Dr. Pol will conduct the present project in association with the Projeto Temático BIOTA/FAPESP coordinated by myself (FAPESP 2011/50206-9) for the period of 01/12/2011 to 30/11/2016. Pol's project has two main objectives that will be conducted in collaboration with the Dr. H. Zaher and his students: 1) anatomical study and description of a new carnivorous dinosaur (Abelisauridae, Theropod…
We aim to describe phylogenetic, biogeographic and ecological patterns of snakes while focusing mainly on the Neotropical fauna. Further, we will explore the evolutionary processes involved in the origin of these patterns. We will use a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the evolution of the species throughout a time interval that extends from the Cretaceous to the Recent. The proj…
The proposed research project of Dr. J. Wilson is for a two-month stay in São Paulo state to collaborate with Dr. H. Zaher on the scientific issues raised in the proposal. The main focus of this project is the complete, detailed description of Tapuisaurus macedoi, a new Brazilian titanosaur (sauropod dinosaur), which is one of the few in the world to have a complete skull. The plan is to …

Pterosaurs (archosaur reptiles) are extinct reptiles that lived from the Late Triassic to the Late Cretaceous, being the first vertebrates to achieve powered flight. Although studied for over 200 years, there are still many controversial questions regarding this group, including the evolution and diversity of feeding habits among different lineages - a topic of fundamental importance for …
Titanosaurs are a diverse and widespread group of sauropod dinosaurs, comprising one-third of all known sauropod diversity. However, analyses focusing on their phylogenetic relationships generated divergent hypotheses, and their interrelations have not yet been fully elucidated. Although numerous phylogenetic proposals have been presented for Titanosauria in the last two decades, none of …
All Squamata fossil records in Cuba belong to the Quaternary, mainly associated with cave deposits. At moment are recorded the species Anolis lucius, A. equestris, A. porcatus, A. luetogularis, A. chamaleonides, Tarentola americana, Leiocephalus cubensis, L. carinatus, Cyclura nubila, Chilabothrus angulifer and Cubophis cantherigerus, representing 7.3% of the current Cuban fauna of Squama…
The Elapomorhini Tribe differ widely in their standard of intraspecific body color, which tends to generate frequent taxonomic controversies persist. The Apostolepis genre, is known to have a confusing taxonomic history, which contributes to a lack of definition in phylogenetic relationships within the group. Currently there are 32 species of the genus, distributed in South America east o…

The main objective of this project is to study the patterns related to the origin and diversification of snakes, using in an unprecedented way a large sample of recent and fossil taxa and combining morphological and molecular data in a total evidence approach. This research will be conducted at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris, in close collaboration with Dr. Michel Lauri…
Within the Squamata, the suborder Amphisbaenia consists of organisms that have adapted to various morphological changes due to fossorial habits. Currently, Amphisbaenia has 182 described species which are divided into six families (Amphisbaenidae, Blanidae, Bipedidae, Cadeidae, and Rhineuridae Trogonophidae) that have a wide distribution. Occurring in the Neotropical region, sub-Saharan A…
The present internship project focuses on the elucidation of species boundaries and population genetics of species complexes within a Neotropical tribe of snakes (Dipsadidae, Xenodontinae,Tachymenini). This proposal has two main objectives: 1) the study of phylogeographic patterns oftwo species complexes that belong to the genus Thamnodynastes, targeting a better resolution oftheir phylog…
