Public perceptions of snakes and snakebite management: implications for conservation and human health in southern Nepal

open access: yesJournal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2016
BackgroundVenomous snakebite and its effects are a source of fear for people living in southern Nepal. As a result, people have developed a negative attitude towards snakes, which can lead to human-snake conflicts that result in killing of snakes ...

Snake and Snake Robot Locomotion in Complex, 3-D Terrain [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 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 ...

Morphological snakes

open access: yes2010 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.

Phylogenomic analyses of more than 4000 nuclear loci resolve the origin of snakes among lizard families

open access: yesBiology Letters, 2017
Squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) are the most diverse group of terrestrial vertebrates, with more than 10 000 species. Despite considerable effort to resolve relationships among major squamates clades, some branches have remained difficult.

A Workflow‐Centric Approach to Generating FAIR Data Objects for Computationally Generated Microstructure‐Sensitive Mechanical Data

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A novel metadata schema is introduced to address the sparsity of microstructure‐sensitive mechanical data. The design follows the material modeling workflow, as each run results in the definition of unique data objects. The schema includes categorical elements to ensure findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability (FAIR). This approach

Patterns, biases and prospects in the distribution and diversity of Neotropical snakes

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, 2017
Motivation We generated a novel database of Neotropical snakes (one of the world's richest herpetofauna) combining the most comprehensive, manually compiled distribution dataset with publicly available data.
