Snakes Represent Emotionally Salient Stimuli That May Evoke Both Fear and Disgust

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
Humans perceive snakes as threatening stimuli, resulting in fast emotional and behavioral responses. However, snake species differ in their true level of danger and are highly variable in appearance despite the uniform legless form.

Body sizes and diversification rates of lizards, snakes, amphisbaenians and the tuatara

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2016
Aim Size is one of the most important and obvious traits of an organism. Both small and large sizes have adaptive advantages and disadvantages. Body size–frequency distributions of most large clades are unimodal and right skewed. Species larger than the

Coral snakes predict the evolution of mimicry across New World snakes

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Batesian mimicry, in which harmless species (mimics) deter predators by deceitfully imitating the warning signals of noxious species (models), generates striking cases of phenotypic convergence that are classic examples of evolution by natural selection.

Region Competition: Unifying Snakes, Region Growing, and Bayes/MDL for Multiband Image Segmentation

IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 1996
We present a novel statistical and variational approach to image segmentation based on a new algorithm, named region competition. This algorithm is derived by minimizing a generalized Bayes/minimum description length (MDL) criterion using the variational
