Sexual dimorphism in aipysurine sea snakes (Elapidae, Hydrophiinae)
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 The transition from terrestrial to aquatic life by hydrophiine elapid snakes modified targets of natural selection and likely affected sexual selection also. Thus, the shift to marine life also might have affected sexual dimorphism.

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 ...

Biodiversity and Conservation Challenges in the Alédjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo: Insights From Ethnozoological Surveys. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe present study analyzes wildlife species use indices and a vulnerability in the Aledjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo. The Importance Value‐in‐use Index (IVIUsp) indicates that the most valued species are the patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas), the forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca), and the green mamba (Dendroaspis viridis).

Surface Topography and Ultrastructure of the Spectacular Cells in the Eyes of Land and Sea Snakes (Squamata, Reptilia): Functional Adaptations of Micro-Ornamentation. [PDF]
J MorpholABSTRACT Although the surface micro‐ornamentation of the scales within the skin of snakes has been the subject of many previous studies, there has been little work done on the spectacle, a protective (keratinised) goggle separated from the underlying cornea by a sub‐spectacular space. The surface ultrastructure of the “Oberhäutchen” of the spectacle is

Toxins, 2020 Prey-selective venoms and toxins have been documented across only a few species of snakes. The lack of research in this area has been due to the absence of suitably flexible testing platforms.
