This study documents information on the composition, diversity, richness, and temporal occurrence of snakes at Sekayu’s lowland forest (SLF), Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia for the first time. The snakes recorded within the SLF were sampled opportunistically from 2013 to 2019, employing the Visual Encounter Survey method (VES) and L-shape pitfall traps with drift fences. Forty-six snake species from 37 genera belonging to the nine families were recorded, of which 11 were new records to Terengganu. Individual-based rarefaction and extrapolation curves were not reaching asymptote, indicating that additional species can be recorded at the study area. Non-parametric species richness estimators estimated and produced a range between 51 and 57 species. ACE was the best estimator based on the quantitative evaluation. All species showed some variations of occurrence patterns across months. Fourteen species were only encountered once across the sampling years, and interestingly 11 of them were only detected during the rainy season (late October to January). In general, the number of species richness, abundance, and rare species were high during this season. Species richness of snakes is high at SLF but sampling effort should be intensified, especially during these rainy months, to obtain a robust estimated snake species richness in SLF. Terengganu harbor considerably high species richness of snakes with a total of 71 species to date (excluding marine snakes), but snake diversity is still underestimated as only a few localities were surveyed in the past years, primarily at the northern part. Future surveys should be commenced at the central and southern parts of Terengganu to complement the current investigation.
Monsoon, reptiles, species richness estimation, species turnover, tropical rainforest
Snakes are some of the most significant faunal components of an ecosystem. They play a crucial role in predator-prey relationships (
Malaysia is a tropical region with high endemism and richness of snakes (
Terengganu’s forests are still relatively understudied regarding snake diversity compared to other group of reptiles, and most of the information available for snakes are only from herpetofauna checklists, derived from short-term inventories (e.g.,
Sekayu’s lowland forest (SLF), provide a potential site for conducting an ecological study on snake assemblages. A large part of this area resides within the Hulu Terengganu Tambahan Forest Reserve. The lowland forest includes a protected area, Sekayu Recreational Forest (SRF) and Sekayu Agricultural Park (SAP). The latter was developed for agro-based tourism and ecotourism purposes (
Herein, we compiled a checklist of snakes from Sekayu’s lowland forest (SLF) from our study and included information on snakes from previous studies at other localities in Terengganu. We also examined the snake composition using our data at SLF, Terengganu, delivering information about snakes’ diversity, richness, and their temporal occurrence from this locality.
Sekayu’s lowland Forest (SLF) is situated in the state of Terengganu, Peninsular Malaysia (4.9676°N, 102.9549°E) (Fig.

Insets illustrate B the localities of previous studies in Terengganu state where data of snake occurrences were compiled: 1. Sekayu lowland forest, 2. Tembat Forest Reserve, 3. Kenyir Lake, 4. Lata Belatan, 5. Lata Tembakah, 6. Gunung Lawit, 7. Gunung Tebu, 8. Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), 9. Pulau Perhentian Besar, 10. Pulau Redang, 11. Pulau Bidong, 12. Pulau Tenggol, and C the elevation of the study area.
Surveys were executed opportunistically during the years 2013–2019. Most of the collections were made for a few months within the year and more surveys were done in the dry period because the SLF was closed between November and February. The collection area spanned the low-lying to the hilly areas (< 300 meters), anthropogenic areas, and along the streams. Visual Encounter Survey (VES) and drift-fenced pitfall traps were employed during the study as collecting methods. There were ten sets of pitfall trap installed in the forested area at both Sekayu Recreational Forest and Sekayu Agricultural Park (five sets for each site; Fig.
A pie chart, bar chart, and Rank Abundance Curve (RAC) were plotted to assess snake composition and species abundance distribution using Microsoft Excel. The species composition was based on cumulative abundance from all collections since 2013.The Chi-square goodness of fit test was used to fit the species abundance with four abundance models and evaluate which model best fits the dataset of snakes present in Sekayu lowland forests. This test was run using the PAST software (
The “iNEXT” R package v. 2.0.20 (
The eight non-parametric species richness estimator values, abundance-based coverage estimator (ACE), incidence-based coverage estimator (ICE), Chao 1 estimator, Chao 2 estimator, first-order Jackknife (Jack 1), second-order Jackknife (Jack 2), Michaelis–Menten Mean (MMMean), and Michaelis–Menten Runs (MMRuns), were calculated using EstimateS v. 9.10 (
The seriation of species presence/absence across months of the sampling years (January to December) was performed using a constrained algorithm (

The data of 46 species of snakes recorded at SLF showed that more snake species were observed in October (26 species) while December had the lowest number of two species observed (Fig.

The months of May-June were in the middle of the dry period. The species found in May were Bungarus candidus, Hypsiscopus plumbea, Lycodon albofuscus, and Pareas carinatus. Meanwhile, the species found in June were Boiga drapiezii, Boiga jaspidea, Calliophis intestinalis, Malayopython reticulatus, Naja sumatrana, Oligodon purpurascens, and Xenochrophis trianguligerus. Both months showed a different observed species, indicating complete species replacement from May to June. The same pattern of differences with the different composition of snake species was also observed between the months Nov–Dec. This explained the high value of the turnover index for both pairs of months, May-Jun, and Nov–Dec. In addition, no species was found consistently every month across the 12 months of the sampling years.
Based on the presence/absence data, rare species that occurred only once (unique species) across the sampling years were detected more frequently during the pre-monsoon (October) and monsoon months (November and January) (Fig.
Turnover index values varied over time in this study (Fig.
This study elevates the current knowledge of snakes in Terengganu regarding new records, species richness, and temporal occurrence of species at Sekayu’s lowland forest (SLF). The number of snake species found in SLF represents 64% of the total recorded snake species found in Terengganu (Table
Eleven new records were obtained in this study. These species are widespread and distributed around Peninsular Malaysia (
Two species ranked as the topmost abundant snakes in SLF, Tropidolaemus wagleri (ten individuals) and Boiga drapiezii (nine individuals). The widespread distribution and many occurrence records (
The low number of dominant species (two species) with large proportions of rare species (14 singletons) results in high unevenness of SLF’s snake assemblage (Fig.
The individual-based rarefaction and extrapolation curves demonstrate that the sampling of snake species in SLF is not yet complete (Fig.
A study by
The snake species richness was the highest in Oct (Fig.
The heavy rain might interrupt the visual of the search parties hence causing low species richness detected in these months. Overall, these results elucidate that effort to sample snake species in SLF could be maximized during these rainy months to improve snake detection. Three other rare species, Calliophis intestinalis, Chrysopelea ornata, and Oligodon purpurascens, were found during the dry period.
Herpetofaunal studies in riparian forests in Peninsular Malaysia have demonstrated that this forest type harbor significant number of species richness not only limited to reptiles but also amphibians, with new records and species (e.g.,
Despite the SLF location within the forest reserve, many of the riparian forests within such reserves in Terengganu have been transformed into anthropogenic recreational areas (e.g., Lata Belatan and Lata Tembakah). This is worrying because unsustainable development and other anthropogenic activities affect reptile species richness, particularly of snakes (
