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,

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 ...
