ghost
snake adalah bagian dari kelompok umum
ular Madagascarophis, atau ular bermata kucing/cat eyed snake, nama untuk pupil
vertikal mereka, yang sering ditemukan
di antara ular yang aktif di tengah malam atau malam hari. Banyak ular bermata kucing ditemukan di daerah yang dikembangkan atau
hutan yang terdegradasi. Namun, para peneliti menemukan ghost snake di national park's iconic pale grey limestone Tsingy
rocks.

'Ghost snake' discovered in Madagascar

Summary:
Researchers discovered a new snake
species in Madagascar and named it 'ghost snake' for its pale grey coloration
and elusiveness. The researchers named it Madagascarophis lolo, pronounced 'luu
luu,' which means ghost in Malagasy.
....................
Researchers discovered a new snake
species in Madagascar and named it "ghost snake" for its pale grey
coloration and elusiveness. They found the ghost snake on a recently opened
path within the well-traveled Ankarana National Park in northern Madagascar in
February 2014.
They studied the snake's physical
characteristics and genetics, which verified that it is a new species. The
researchers from the LSU Museum of Natural Science, the American Museum of
Natural History and the Université de Mahajunga in Madagascar named itMadagascarophis
lolo, pronounced "luu luu," which means ghost in Malagasy. Their
work was published in the scientific journal, Copeia, today.
The ghost snake is part of a common
group of snakes calledMadagascarophis, or cat-eyed snakes, named for
their vertical pupils, which is often found among snakes that are active in the
evening or night. Many of the cat-eyed snakes are found in developed areas or
degraded forests. However, the researchers found the ghost snake on the
national park's iconic pale grey limestone Tsingy rocks.
"None of the other snakes in
Madagascarophis are as pale and none of them have this distinct pattern,"
said Sara Ruane, post-doctoral researcher at the LSU Museum of Natural Science
and lead author of the paper.
The researchers conducted genetic
analyses and were surprised to find that the ghost snake's next closest
relative is a snake called Madagascarophis fuchsi, which was discovered at a
site approximately 100 kilometers north of Ankarana several years ago. Both
were found in rocky, isolated areas.
"I think what's exciting and
important about this work is even though the cat-eyed snakes could be
considered one of the most common groups of snakes in Madagascar, there are
still new species we don't know about because a lot of regions are hard to get
to and poorly explored. If this commonly known, wide group of snakes harbors
this hidden diversity, what else is out there that we don't know about?"
Ruane said.
Malagasy master's student Bernard
Randriamahatantsoa spotted the snake on the path. Randriamahatantsoa, Ruane and
their collaborators discovered the ghost snake after hiking for more than 17
miles in near-constant rain from their field site to the Ankarana park
entrance, whilst in search for a different species.
"It was really tough. It was a lot
of work, but the payoff was big," Ruane said. "Snakes are hard to
find under the best of circumstances. They are pretty elusive."
That's why the researchers conduct their
fieldwork during the rainy season in Madagascar when snakes and their prey,
such as frogs, lizards and even other snakes, are most active.
After discovering this new species, the
researchers returned to the U.S. to conduct their morphological and genetic
analyses. Part of the study of the snake's physical characteristics includes
counting all of the scales on its belly, its back, counting how many scales
touch the eye and the number of scales on the upper and lower lips.
Ruane extracted DNA from tissue samples
from the ghost snake and the previously found Madagascarophis fuchsi.
She compared three genetic markers shared across the species of Madagascarophis
to determine how similar the new species was to those previously known. In
addition, Ruane and her colleagues mapped the genetic family tree, or
phylogeny, for the entire group of Madagascarophis, which has five species.
"All of the analyses we did
supported that this is a distinct species despite the fact that we only have
this one individual," she said.
