Infrared sensitivity in snakes as a specialiation for prey capture [PDF]

, 2010
Vidne i kemijske informacije imaju podjednaku važnost u zmija sa termoreceptorima, kao i u zmija bez sposobnosti termorecepcije. Ulogu toplinskih informacija u tipova Crotalus i Python zamjenjuju mehaničke informaciju u tipova Vipera i Elaphe, te udava ...

Divergent Paths, Convergent Heads: Morphological Adaptation of Head Shape to Habitat Use and Diet in Snakes

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 11, November 2025.
Snake head shape is weakly constrained by phylogeny but strongly influenced by ecology. Significant convergence was detected in fossorial and aquatic snakes, while diet mainly drove morphological variation without convergence. ABSTRACT Morphological convergence—where distantly related species evolve similar traits in response to shared ecological ...

Prevalence of Hepatozoon spp. (Apicomplexa, Hepatozoidae) among recently captured Brazilian snakes

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2003
The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of Hepatozoon spp. infection in recently captured snakes from Botucatu, São Paulo State, Brazil. Blood was collected from all snakes by ventral tail venipuncture.

Extending the Range of Sizes of Monodisperse Core‐Shell Hydrogel Capsules from Composite Jet Breakup by Combined Electrical and Mechanical Actuation

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 38, October 13, 2025.
We present a microfluidic approach combining electrical and mechanical actuation to improve control over liquid jet breakup and droplet formation. By adjusting excitation frequency and applying an electric field, coalescence is reduced and droplet uniformity is enhanced.

Selfish or altruistic? An analysis of alarm call function in wild capuchin monkeys, Cebus apella nigritus [PDF]

, 2008
Alarm calls facilitate some antipredatory benefits of group living but may endanger the caller by attracting the predator's attention. A number of hypotheses invoking kin selection and individual selection have been proposed to explain how such behaviour

Exceptional Visual‐Opsin Coexpression and Phenotypic Diversity in Outer‐Retinal Photoreceptors of Caenophidian Snakes

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 10, October 2025.
In snakes, profound differences in retinal architecture are observed between diurnal and nocturnal species. Additionally, in the rod‐dominated retinas of nocturnal snakes, coexpression of the cone opsins SWS1 and LWS in individual cones is common, while rhodopsin (RH1) is restricted to typical rods.

Object detection‐assisted workflow facilitates cryptic snake monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 606-617, October 2025.
Camera traps are powerful tools used to study animals. However, camera trap studies often produce large datasets requiring labor‐intensive classification. While many object detection models have been developed to facilitate image analysis, their efficacy when presented with novel species and systems is poorly understood.
