| dc.description | Caecilians are the least known group of amphibians due to their fossorial lifestyle, which make them difficult to find and study. It has been observed that these organisms tend to surface after heavy rains because their burrows are flooded and they need to breathe. Here I present the first roadkill report for Dermophis glandulosus and additional road kill reports of Gymnopis multiplicata in Costa Rica. In March 2020, on the road to Pozos, Puriscal, Costa Rica, a total of 23 caecilians road kills were found on a 3.94km road segment. This unusual observation could be a consequence of heavy rains reported in the area the day before the event. This is the highest caecilian road kill density reported at national level. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Los cecílidos son el grupo menos conocido de los anfibios debido a su vida fosorial, lo que dificulta la búsqueda y estudio de estos organismos. Se ha observado que estos organismos tienden a emerger después de fuertes lluvias, debido a que sus madrigueras están inundadas y necesitan salir a la superficie en busca de oxígeno. Aquí se presenta el primer reporte de atropello para Dermophis glandulosus e informes adicionales de atropellos en Gymnopis multiplicata en Costa Rica. En marzo de 2020, en la carretera a Pozos, Puriscal, Costa Rica, se encontraron un total de 23 cecílidos muertos en un tramo de carretera de 3.94 km. Esta inusual observación podría ser consecuencia de las fuertes lluvias reportadas en el área el día antes del evento. Ésta es la más alta densidad de atropellos en cecílidos reportada a nivel nacional. | en_US |
