Swimming speed variation in amphibious seasnakes (Laticaudinae): A search for underlying mechanisms

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2010
Abstract An understanding of the proximate (morphological, physiological and behavioural) mechanisms that affect locomotor speed can clarify reasons for intraspecific and interspecific variation in this ecologically relevant performance measure. To explore such mechanisms, we selected a study system involving animals with highly simplified external ...

Development of 21 polymorphic microsatellite markers for the black-banded sea krait, Laticauda semifasciata (Elapidae: Laticaudinae), and cross-species amplification for two other congeneric species [PDF]

Genes and Genomics, 2017
The genus Laticauda (Reptilia: Elapidae), commonly known as sea kraits, is venomous marine amphibious snakes distributed throughout the south and southeast Asian islands and mostly found in coastal waters. To facilitate genetic studies, we have developed microsatellite loci for L. semifasciata using the 454 GS-FLX pyrosequencing technique.

Relationships between sexual dimorphism and niche partitioning within a clade of sea-snakes (Laticaudinae)

Oecologia, 2002
Previous studies in Fiji have shown that females of the amphibious sea-krait Laticauda colubrina are much larger than males, and have larger heads relative to body size. The dimorphism has been interpreted in terms of adaptation to a sex divergence in prey-size: females primarily eat large (conger) eels rather than smaller (moray) eels.
