Environmental drivers of tropical forest snake phenology: Insights from citizen science
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023 We used long‐term time‐series data to investigate the environmentally driven changes in the activity patterns of 25 snake species in the Atlantic Forest region of southeastern Brazil. Overall, we found snake activity patterns were largely driven by temperature and humidity, with venomous and non‐venomous species responding differently to climate.

Late Cenozoic evolution of the latitudinal diversity gradient
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 7, Page 1213-1220, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Aim The Late Cenozoic flourishing of polar marine ecosystems, just when temperatures were reaching their lowest levels, has always seemed anomalous. Such an observation is coupled with an increasing volume of molecular phylogenetic evidence to indicate that some polar taxa radiated at exceptionally high evolutionary rates.

Evolutionary convergence of muscle architecture in relation to locomotor ecology in snakes
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 242, Issue 5, Page 862-871, May 2023., 2023 Snakes with different ecologies differ in the axial musculature with aquatic species having more robust muscles. Arboreal species on the other hand typically have longer muscle‐tendon units. Abstract The epaxial muscles in snakes are responsible for locomotion and as such can be expected to show adaptations in species living in different environments ...
