FIRST DIETARY RECORDS FOR Erythrolamprus guentheri (COLUBRIDAE): OPHIOPHAGY OF Tantilla melanocephala (COLUBRIDAE)

open access: yesRevista Latinoamericana de Herpetología
Ophiophagy in snakes is a relatively common and well-documented behavior. Some species of the genus Erythrolamprus have ophiophagous tendencies. We report the first evidence of the diet of E. guentheri, with two predation events on Tantilla melanocephala. These new records represent the two first cases of ophiophagy of T. melanocephala by E. guentheri,

Sensing danger: Energetic and hydric costs of chemoreception in a lizard

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3396-3404, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding the benefits and costs of chemoreception and predator avoidance is crucial for unravelling the ecological adaptations of potential prey organisms. In squamate reptiles, tongue flicking is a specialized behaviour used to collect chemical cues from the ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...
