Redescription and validation of Bothriechis supraciliaris (Serpentes: Viperidae) [PDF]
Rev. Biol. Trop., 46(2): 453-462, 1998, 2015 The populations of pitvipers from south western Costa Rica, have traditionally been identified as Bothriechis schlegelii (Berthold). However, in 1954 E. H. Taylor described one specimen from the area as a new subspecies, B. schlegelii supraciliaris. Werman returned supraciliaris to synonymy with schlegelii four decades later.

Evolutionary History and Climatic Correlates of Hypermelanism in Viperidae. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe performed a two‐step analysis on the occurrence of melanism in Viperidae: Firstly, Ancestral State Reconstruction was performed so that the non‐melanic state was estimated as the most probable at the root of the vipers' phylogenetic tree; secondly, we tested the Thermal Melanism Hypothesis on the spatial occurrence of melanism in this snake family ...

Somatic pairing, endomitosis and chromosome aberrations in snakes (Viperidae and Colubridae) [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2003 The positioning of macrochromosomes of Bothrops jararaca and Bothrops insularis (Viperidae) was studied in undistorted radial metaphases of uncultured cells (spermatogonia and oogonia) not subjected to spindle inhibitors. Colchicinized metaphases from uncultured (spleen and intestine) and cultured tissues (blood) were also analyzed.
