Resumo: Several different pressures determine the reproductive success among males and females, and that is the reason why morphological differences between the sexes are expected to be found in any given species. Oxybelis aeneus is a tiny and slender arboreal snake that is widely distributed from the United States to southeastern Brazil. The analysis of 102 specimens provided information on sexual dimorphism for this species. Females are longer and heavier than males, while there is no difference in head size and tail length between males and females.

Oxybelis aeneus é uma serpente arborícola, longa e delgada, amplamente distribuída dos Estados Unidos ao sudoeste do Brasil. A análise de 102 indivíduos forneceu informações sobre dimorfismo sexual nesta espécie. Fêmeas são maiores que machos em relação ao tamanho corpóreo (CRC e massa), mas não foi observado dimorfismo em relação ao comprimento relativo caudal e tamanho da cabeça de machos e fêmeas.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2010-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2010v23n4p6510.5007/2175-7925.2010v23n4p65Biotemas; v. 23 n. 4 (2010); 65-692175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2010v23n4p65/15976Copyright (c) 2010 Paulo Cesar Mattos Dourado de Mesquitainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMesquita, Paulo Cesar Mattos Dourado de2019-05-16T14:31:41Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/17395Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2019-05-16T14:31:41Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
