Neste estudo, mapeamos a distribuição de dois mecanismos defensivos (embolar e esconder a cabeça) em serpentes neotropicais, visando observar sua distribuição em relação a diferentes grupos filogenéticos. O comportamento de embolar foi observado em 58 das 167 espécies analisadas, estando presente em sete famílias. Esconder a cabeça foi observado em 100 espécies distribuídas em nove famílias. O predomínio do comportamento de embolar em grupos basais de serpentes, como Anomalepididae, Boidae, Leptotyphlopidae, Tropidophiidae e Typhlopidae, e sua pouca incidência em espécies pertencentes a famílias mais recentes, como Elapidae e Viperidae, nos levam a sugerir que esse comportamento originou-se em grupos basais, persistindo em grupos derivados....
