TO-DAY the Cape viper (Causus rhombeatus) laid several eggs. The keeper says this has happened before. As Causus is one of the Viperidae, and as the Viperidae (except Atractaspis) are, as their name implies, viviparous, or, to be accurate, ovo-viviparous, it would be interesting to know whether this is a freak, or whether the Causidae are oviparous in ...

Measuring the growth of structure by matching dark matter haloes to galaxies with VIPERS and SDSS [PDF]
We test the history of structure formation from redshift 1 to today by matching galaxies from VIPERS and SDSS with dark matter haloes in the MultiDark SMDPL N-body simulation. We first show that the standard subhalo abundance matching (SHAM) recipe implemented with MultiDark characterizes the clustering of galaxies well both at redshift 0 for SDSS and ...
