Robotic modeling of snake traversing large, smooth obstacles reveals stability benefits of body compliance [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science (2020), 7, 191192, 2020 Snakes can move through almost any terrain. Although their locomotion on flat surfaces using planar gaits is inherently stable, when snakes deform their body out of plane to traverse complex terrain, maintaining stability becomes a challenge. On trees and desert dunes, snakes grip branches or brace against depressed sand for stability.

Predictors of orbital convergence in primates: A test of the snake detection hypothesis of primate evolution [PDF]
, 2011 Traditional explanations for the evolution of high orbital convergence and stereoscopic vision in primates have focused on how stereopsis might have aided early primates in foraging or locomoting in an arboreal environment. It has recently been suggested
