The goal of our study was to evaluate changes in the assemblage of
reptiles in an urban habitat over 100 years of increasing urbanization,
aiming to identify which ecological attributes allowed the persistence of
species that can be found in the area today. To accomplish that, we
accessed historical records in two important scientific collections for
the study area and carried out fieldwork to access the current reptile
assemblage in an urban green area, in São Paulo, Brazil. The dataset
presented here is the result of all individuals collected in the study
area between 1908 and 2019, including also the animals collected by the
authors during the fieldwork carried out in 2016 and preserved in the
collection.
