Nature, 1885 WITH reference to notes as to Ophiophagous snakes, which appeared at pp. 216, 269, 312, and 408 of the last volume of NATURE, I inclose a communication received by me this morning from Borneo. The habit seems general, and, according to the above letters, not confined to venomous or non-venomous varieties.

Subdivision based snakes for contour detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 In this paper we propose a method for computing the contour of an object in an image using a snake represented as a subdivision curve. The evolution of the snake is driven by its control points which are computed minimizing an energy that pushes the snake towards the boundary of the interest region.

A taxonomic framework for typhlopid snakes from the Caribbean and other regions (Reptilia, Squamata)
, 2014 The evolutionary history and taxonomy of worm-like snakes (scolecophidians) continues to be refined as new molecular data are gathered and analyzed. Here we present additional evidence on the phylogeny of these snakes, from morphological data and 489 new

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) possesses an exocrine gland associated with its false gill slit pigmentation pattern. The cervical gill slit gland is a compound tubuloalveolar gland that produces a holocrine secretion and displays maturational changes in size and secretory histology. While the morphology of the cervical gill slit gland

Pulvinar neurons reveal neurobiological evidence of past selection for rapid detection of snakes
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2013 Significance The present study shows preferential activity of neurons in the medial and dorsolateral pulvinar to images of snakes. Pulvinar neurons responded faster and stronger to snake stimuli than to monkey faces, monkey hands, and geometric shapes ...
