Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator–prey interactions have been widely addressed by several studies, little is known regarding the occurrence of cannibal ...

The Ultrastructure of the Spectacle, Cornea and Conjunctiva of the Short-Nosed Sea Snake Aipysurus apraefrontalis (Elapidae, Squamata) With Particular Reference to the Sub-Spectacular Space and Its Contents. [PDF]
J MorpholUsing micro computed tomography, light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, this study reveals that the conjunctival portions of the corneal epithelial and spectacular endothelial lining in the eye of the short‐nosed sea snake Aipysurus apraefrontalis possess high densities of microvilli to increase the surface area and two types of ...

Hard Mating Aggregation as Evidence of Polyandry in the Red-Tailed Boa, <i>Boa constrictor</i> (Squamata: Boidae), in a Brazilian Caatinga Population. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study reports a reproductive aggregation of a female Boa constrictor with five males in the Brazilian Caatinga. The observation reinforces the evidence of a polyandrous system, favoring larger females that copulate with different males. Our record highlights the influence of sexual size dimorphism in the formation of aggregations.

A Taxonomic Revision of Boas (Serpentes: Boidae)
Zootaxa, 2014 Large molecular datasets including many species and loci have greatly improved our knowledge of snake phylogeny, particularly within the group including boas (Table 1). Recent taxonomic revisions using molecular phylogenies have clarified some of the previously contentious nomenclature of the group (Wilcox et al. 2002; Lawson et al. 2004; Burbrink 2005;

Is the Karyotype of Neotropical Boid Snakes Really Conserved? Cytotaxonomy, Chromosomal Rearrangements and Karyotype Organization in the Boidae Family. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Boids are primitive snakes from a basal lineage that is widely distributed in Neotropical region. Many of these species are both morphologically and biogeographically divergent, and the relationship among some species remains uncertain even with ...

Boidae: Your Personal Mining Platform
Proceedings of the 2024 IEEE/ACM 46th International Conference on Software Engineering: Companion ProceedingsMining software repositories is a useful technique for researchers and practitioners to see what software developers actually do when developing software. Tools like Boa provide users with the ability to easily mine these open-source software repositories at a very large scale, with datasets containing hundreds of thousands of projects.
