The wide gape of snakes: A comparison of the developing mandibular symphysis in sauropsids
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 937-949, June 2026.Our analysis explores the adaptations at the mandibular symphysis required to allow extreme lower jaw mobility in macrostomate snakes taking a comparative approach. Abstract The origin and evolution of snakes has been marked by the acquisition of many morphological and functional novelties, one of which is the possession of a highly kinetic skull ...

A Novel Multidisciplinary Approach for Reptile Movement and Behavior Analysis
Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 468-484, May 2026.We present a novel multidisciplinary approach capable of advancing research on reptiles’ behavior. Our approach uses integrated tools and methods for the digitization, reconstruction, and visualization of reptiles and their behavior. We (i) record movement through tri‐axial accelerometers, video cameras, and motion capture systems; (ii) ground‐truth ...

An Overlooked Habitat‐Dependent Link Between Metabolism and Water Loss in Reptiles
Integrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 709-719, May 2026.We measured the gas exchange of six lizard and six snake species, under high and low air humidity, and two intriguing patterns emerged. First, although desert species lose less water via evaporation than similar‐sized mesic species under similar conditions, water loss is virtually the same when each is exposed to its natural conditions.
