It was recorded only in the state of Bahia, municipality of Caitité. This area is located in the Chapada Diamantina complex, ca. 970 m elevation. We have only one specimen recorded (Freitas & Silva 2011) and we believe this species has a restricted distribution confined to high altitude areas. It is also distributed in upland Atlantic Forest and Cerrado (Marques et al. 2001; Nogueira et al. 2010). It was found in a complex phytophysionomic of dry forest that includes xerophytic phytophysiognomies of the arboreal and bush caatinga and cerrado vegetation (M. A. Freitas pers. comm). It is diurnal and nocturnal, and feeds on frogs and fishes (Scartozzoni 2009).

First record in the Caatinga. It was recorded only from the state of Maranhão, municipality of Timon in the northwesterns borders of the Caatinga and contact with Cerrado and Amazonia. It is also distributed in the Amazon Forest and Cerrado regions (Cunha & Nascimento 1978; Martins & Oliveira 1998; Nogueira et al. 2010, 2011). We believe this species can be found in other areas of the Caatinga next to its contact with Cerrado. It is an aquatic snake that inhabits water bodies (Scartozzoni 2009). It is diurnal and nocturnal, and feeds on fishes (Scartozzoni 2009).

It was recorded in all portions of the Caatinga. We have no records in Pernambuco State and central portion of Bahia State, perhaps due to sampling gaps. It inhabits low and high altitudes (sea level to 1,100 m elevation). It is widely distributed in Atlantic Forest, Amazon Forest, Cerrado, and Pantanal regions (Cunha & Nascimento 1978; Martins & Oliveira 1998; Marques et al. 2001; Argôlo 2004; Marques et al. 2005; Nogueira et al. 2010). Recoder et al. (2011) reported the occurrence of this species only in riparian forest inside Cerrado. Inside Caatinga, It can be found on arboreal and bushy vegetation in dry or moist forests and in rocky savanna vegetation known as campo rupestres in the Chapada Diamantina highlands with a strong Cerrado influence, in Bahia State (Juncá 2005). It has semi-arboreal habits, is nocturnal, and feeds on frogs (Marques et al. 2001; Argôlo 2004; Guedes 2006).

Caatinga endemic species. It is known only for the type-locality in Paraíba State, municipality of Campina Grande. This area is situated on the Borborema Plateau, 560 m elevation, with strong influence of the adjacent Atlantic Forest. It is known only by one specimen (lost holotype, TBG pers. obs.) collected in 1934 (Amaral 1934). Therefore it appears to be extremely rare. Apparently inhabits forested areas because the single locality situated in agreste, near coastal Atlantic Forest, is wetter than the adjacent semi-arid lowlands. Information about natural history of this species is not available.

Recorded in the states of Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Bahia, and Minas Gerais. It can be found both in low or upland localities, with maximum recorded altitude of 850 m in the Araripe Plateau, Ceará State. This species is also recorded in the Cerrado region (Nogueira et al. 2010, 2011). Most records are in xerophytic caatinga that includes bushy, herbaceous and arboreal vegetation, and we believe that this snake also inhabits xerophitic vegetation in highlands. It has terrestrial habits, is diurnal, and feeds on frogs (Dixon 1989; Guedes 2006).

First record in the Caatinga. Recorded only in three localities, in the states of Piauí and Bahia, in altitudes up to 500 m elevation. It is found mostly in open savannas and grasslands on sandy soils, and is considered a Cerrado endemic snake (Nogueira et al. 2010, 2011). It probably occurs in areas with relictual cerrado enclaves, including those in uplands of the Chapada Diamantina complex. It has terrestrial habits, is diurnal, and feeds on frogs and lizards (Dixon 1989).

It is also distributed in Atlantic Forest and Cerrado (Marques et al. 2001; Sawaya et al. 2008; Nogueira et al. 2010). The records inside the Caatinga are on Diamantina Plateau, with a complex mosaic of vegetation cover that includes phytophysiognomies of caatinga, cerrado, and humid and dry forests. It has terrestrial habits, is nocturnal, and feeds on mammals and lizards (Marques et al. 2001).

description: Numerous scientific disciplines have lately advocated for a broader use of plain language summaries (PLS) to facilitate access to scientific works and to support laypeople's informed decision making. However, PLS may likely be prone to the “easiness effect” (i.e. being judged as more trustworthy due to a higher level of accessibility) and the “scientificness effect” (i.e. being judged as less trustworthy due to avoiding jargon and mainly presenting core findings). Both effects have already been demonstrated separately, but have not yet been investigated jointly. Especially with regard to PLS, the question remains which of the two effects outweighs the other, and if there are potential interactions between them on epistemic trust. For instance, it seems plausible to assume that a text combining high levels of “easiness” and “scientificness” elicits the highest levels of trust. To further investigate these issues, a preregistered online within-person experimental study with N = 1,440 participants (general population sample) is currently being carried out. Participants read four summaries of psychological studies that are systematically varied regarding their “easiness” (low vs. high) and “scientificness” (low vs. high). After each text, readers rate both text credibility as well as author trustworthiness. The effects of “scientificness” and “easiness” and their interaction on trust will be analyzed via mixed models. While the study is still ongoing, results will be available for the poster session. We will discuss implications for writing PLS in general as well as for the challenge of balancing out “scientificness” and “easiness” in (written) science communication.

The area where this species occurs in Caatinga has a complex of phytophysiognomies including caatinga, cerrado, and moist forest vegetation (Juncá et al. 2005; Freitas et al. 2012a). Relatively common in open, grassland habitats in the Cerrado region (Argôlo & Freitas 2002; Freitas & Silva 2007; Valdujo et al. 2009; Nogueira et al. 2010), and we believe it inhabits relictual, open, upland rocky savanna enclaves named campos rupestres in the Caatinga. The species has semi-arboreal habits, is diurnal, and feeds on frogs and lizards (Marques et al. 2001).

It is also widely distributed in the Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, Pantanal, and Pampas (Marques et al. 2001, 2005; Bérnils et al. 2008; Nogueira et al. 2010). It can be found in all phytophysiognomies of the Caatinga, however it is more often found in forests or forest borders (Vitt 1980; Hamdan & Lira-da-Silva 2012; Nogueira et al. 2011), and may thus be absent from areas widely dominated by open sand dunes or savannas. It has semi-arboreal habits, is diurnal, and feeds on vertebrates (Vitt & Vangilder 1983; Marques et al. 2001, 2005).

Pomegranate ellagitannins (ETs) are transformed in the gut to ellagic acid (EA) and its microbiota metabolites, urolithin A (Uro-A) and urolithin B (Uro-B). These compounds exert anti-inflammatory effects in vitro and in vivo. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Uro-A, Uro-B, and EA on colon fibroblasts, cells that play a key role in intestinal inflammation. CCD18-Co colon fibroblasts were exposed to a mixture of Uro-A, Uro-B, and EA, at concentrations comparable to those found in the colon (40 μM Uro-A, 5 μM Uro-B, 1 μM EA), both in the presence or in the absence of IL-1β (1 ng/mL) or TNF-α (50 ng/mL), and the effects on fibroblast migration and monocyte adhesion were determined. The levels of several growth factors and adhesion cytokines were also measured. The mixture of metabolites significantly inhibited colon fibroblast migration (∼70%) and monocyte adhesion to fibroblasts (∼50%). These effects were concomitant with a significant down-regulation of the levels of PGE2, PAI-1, and IL-8, as well as other key regulators of cell migration and adhesion. Of the three metabolites tested, Uro-A exhibited the most significant anti-inflammatory effects. The results show that a combination of the ET metabolites found in colon, urolithins and EA, at concentrations achievable in the intestine after the consumption of pomegranate, was able to moderately improve the inflammatory response of colon fibroblasts and suggest that consumption of ET-containing foods has potential beneficial effects on gut inflammatory diseases.
