Evolutionary History and Climatic Correlates of Hypermelanism in Viperidae. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
ABSTRACTBody colorations have been investigated intensely concerning their adaptive significance from the ecological and evolutionary perspectives. Studies on melanism have caught growing interest thanks to its marked variability across space, time and taxon and, in ectotherms, it has been hypothesised to be driven by thermal advantages. Among reptiles,
