Linking tooth shape to strike mechanics in the Boa constrictor.
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2021 Snakes, with the obvious exception of the fangs, are considered to lack the regional specialization of tooth shape and function that are exemplified by mammals.

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2011 Few felids have been recorded as being preyed upon by the Boa constrictor snake (Boa constrictor). Documentation of predation on felids by reptiles is scarce, and natural predators of the adult jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) are poorly known.

Astrocytes: Orchestrators of brain gas exchange and oxygen homeostasis
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 4, Page 1682-1694, 15 February 2026.Abstract figure legend Oxygen and carbon dioxide enter the body via breathing; in the brain astrocytes play a key role balancing oxygen delivery with carbon dioxide removal. Abstract If we consider neurons like muscles during exercise, the demand for oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) elimination is constantly changing.

Oral adenocarcinoma observed in Boa constrictor maintained in captivity
Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2022 Information on neoplasms in animals has increased over time, and these studies have helped in the management of reptiles that present tumors. There are similar incidences of neoplasms between homeothermic and ectothermic animals.

Boid Inclusion Body Disease Is Also a Disease of Wild Boa Constrictors
Microbiology Spectrum, 2022 Reptarenaviruses cause boid inclusion body disease (BIBD), a potentially fatal disease, occurring in captive constrictor snakes boas and pythons worldwide. Classical BIBD, characterized by the formation of pathognomonic cytoplasmic inclusion bodies (IBs),

Typological parameters of genericity [PDF]
, 2000 Different languages employ different morphosyntactic devices for expressing genericity. And, of course, they also make use of different morphosyntactic and semantic or pragmatic cues which may contribute to the interpretation of a sentence as generic ...

Journal of Zoology, Volume 328, Issue 1, Page 41-51, January 2026.Understanding how animals interact with their environment across life stages is key for conservation. In our long‐term study of the Blunt‐headed tree snake (Imantodes cenchoa) in the tropical rainforest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, we tracked over 240 individuals and found age‐related differences in environmental preferences.

Effects of ingesting large prey on the kinematics of rectilinear locomotion in Boa constrictor.
Journal of Experimental BiologyLarge and stout snakes commonly consume large prey and use rectilinear crawling, yet, whether body wall distention after feeding impairs rectilinear locomotion is poorly understood.
