Brazilian Snail-eating Snakes (Reptilia, Serpentes, Dipsadidae) and their Alimentary Preferences by Terrestrial Molluscs (Gastropoda, Gymnophila & Pulmonata): an Preliminary Overview
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An ecological study and preliminary revision concerning the snail-eating snakes and potential “prey” (alimentary preferences) present in the Brazilian country region, integral geographical territory of the “Atlantic Slope of the South Cone” is presented here based on wide bibliographical revision, the examination of specimens contained in collections of regional natural history museums, consultation with specialists, and the eventual collection of specimens in the environment. Around 17 species of snakes exclusively on the feed on slugs and snails, belonging to the family Dipsadiidae, including the genus Dipsas (9 species), Sibon (1 species) and Sibynomorphus (5 species) – the subfamily Dipsadinae (nocturnal arboreal and/or terrestrial forms) - and Tomodon (2 species), the subfamily Xenodontinae and Tribe Tachymenini (diurnal habits, terrestrial forms). A total of seven native nominal slugs and two snails they were confirmed in progress.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
