บทคัดย่อ :
Thailand is a world biodiversity hotspot with 176 known snake species. However, anthropogenic influences on snakes associated with growing human populations are poorly understood. Aquatic funnel traps (AFTs) are in widespread use in agricultural areas throughout Thailand, and they have the ability to collect large quantities of by-catch, including snakes. During an on-going study on the human-snake conflict we found, using radio-telemetry, one of our radio-tracked Bungarus candidus (Malayan Krait) individuals dead on 13 October 2015. We had tracked the individual for only 14 days before finding it decapitated 10 m from a villager
