Widespread recombination, reassortment, and transmission of unbalanced compound viral genotypes in natural arenavirus infections. [PDF]
, 2015 Arenaviruses are one of the largest families of human hemorrhagic fever viruses and are known to infect both mammals and snakes. Arenaviruses package a large (L) and small (S) genome segment in their virions.

Diversification rates and phenotypic evolution in venomous snakes (Elapidae)
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The relationship between rates of diversification and of body size change (a common proxy for phenotypic evolution) was investigated across Elapidae, the largest radiation of highly venomous snakes.

The Road to Redemption: Killing Snakes in Medieval Chinese Buddhism
Religions, 2019 In the medieval Chinese context, snakes and tigers were viewed as two dominant, threatening animals in swamps and mountains. The animal-human confrontation increased with the expansion of human communities to the wilderness.

Emerging fungal pathogen Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola in wild European snakes
Scientific Reports, 2017 Snake fungal disease (SFD) is an emerging disease of conservation concern in eastern North America. Ophidiomyces ophiodiicola, the causative agent of SFD, has been isolated from over 30 species of wild snakes from six families in North America. Whilst O.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The use of miniature accelerometer (ACT) data-loggers for remote and continuous recording of animal movement behavior is becoming increasingly common. Until recently, size constraints limited most animal-borne ACT applications to large-bodied species. We

Modified snaking in plane Couette flow with wall-normal suction [PDF]
J. Fluid Mech. 912 (2021) A47, 2020 A specific family of spanwise-localised invariant solutions of plane Couette flow exhibits homoclinic snaking, a process by which spatially localised invariant solutions of a nonlinear partial differential equation smoothly grow additional structure at their fronts while undergoing a sequence of saddle-node bifurcations.

Mammalian lures monitored with time-lapse cameras increase detection of pythons and other snakes [PDF]
PeerJBackground Enhancing detection of cryptic snakes is critical for the development of conservation and management strategies; yet, finding methods that provide adequate detection remains challenging.

Snake and Snake Robot Locomotion in Complex, 3-D Terrain [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Snakes can traverse almost all types of environments by bending their elongate bodies in 3-D to interact with the terrain. Similarly, a snake robot is a promising platform to perform critical tasks in various environments. Understanding how 3-D body bending effectively interacts with the terrain for propulsion and stability can not only inform how ...

2010 IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2010 We introduce a morphological approach to curve evolution. The differential operators used in the standard PDE snake models can be approached using morphological operations on a binary level set. By combining the morphological operators associated to the PDE components we achieve a new snakes evolution algorithm.
