Amphisbaenia, biodiversidade, cobra-de-duas-cabeças, réptil, SquamataResumo
As anfisbênias são um intrigante grupo de répteis fossoriais, com cerca de 200 espécies conhecidas, distribuídas na América do Sul, Caribe, oeste do México, Flórida, África, Península Ibérica, Anatólia e Oriente Médio. Neste artigo, apresentamos uma visão geral sobre diferentes aspectos da biologia desse grupo, incluindo suas principais características morfológicas, a diversidade atual, os avanços na compreensão de sua origem e relações evolutivas, graças a recentes estudos de paleontologia, sistemática filogenética e biogeografia.
