Snakes are a diverse group of squamate reptiles characterized by a unique feeding system and other traits associated with elongation and limblessness. Despite the description of transitional fossil forms, the evolution of the snake feeding system rem

Debunking the viper's strike: harmless snakes kill a common assumption

Autor: Brad R. Moon, Baxter Sawvel, David A. Penning

Publikováno v: Biology letters. 12(3)

To survive, organisms must avoid predation and acquire nutrients and energy. Sensory systems must correctly differentiate between potential predators and prey, and elicit behaviours that adjust distances accordingly. For snakes, strikes can serve bot

Gape size, its morphological basis, and the validity of gape indices in western diamond-backed rattlesnakes (crotalus atrox)

Autor: Brad R. Moon, Paul M. Hampton

Publikováno v: Journal of Morphology. 274:194-202

Maximum gape is important to the ecology and evolution of many vertebrates, particularly gape-limited predators, because it can restrict the sizes and shapes of prey that can be eaten. Although many cranial elements probably contribute to gape, it is

The big squeeze: scaling of constriction pressure in two of the world's largest snakes, Python reticulatus and Python molurus bivittatus

Autor: Brad R. Moon, Schuyler F. Dartez, David A. Penning

Publikováno v: The Journal of experimental biology. 218(Pt 21)

Snakes are important predators that have radiated throughout many ecosystems, and constriction was important in their radiation. Constrictors immobilize and kill prey by using body loops to exert pressure on their prey. Despite its importance, little
