RESUMO:

The recognition of the geographical distribution of a species is essential to determine its conservation status and risk of extinction. The investigation of the geographic distribution and conservation of rare species or with few records of occurrence has been aided by ecological niche modeling. Species with limited distribution data also have little focus on aspects of their conservation. In this sense, this project aimed to investigate the known and potential distribution of Amphisbaena species with records for the Amazon and discuss the implications for their conservation; and investigate the existence of patterns of geographic distribution and endemism. The genus Amphisbaena is composed of 99 species distributed in South and Central America, of these, 25 occur in the Amazon. These animals are adapted to the fossorial habit and with low detectability. The known distribution of species will be determined from records of the occurrence of specimens deposited in scientific collections and data from the literature. The potential distribution will be estimated using an ecological niche model using the MaxEnt algorithm. In addition, environmental variables (precipitation, solar radiation, drought and altitude) available on the AMBDATA platform will be used in the analysis. Potential niche models will be generated with 50 bootstraps, visualized and resized using QGIS tools.
