Abstract The morphological constraint hypothesis (MCH) states that, in snakes, males typically have relatively longer tails than females to accommodate the hemipenes and retractor muscles. To date, most studies testing the MCH have been interspecific

Venomous viperid snakes possess relatively large and fragile hollow fangs that are an integral part of the envenomation apparatus for predation. We hypothesized that fangs serve like disposable needles and predicted a high loss rate and, hence, high

Reproductive success is the ultimate measure of individual quality; however, it is difficult to determine in free-living animals. Therefore, indirect measures that are related to reproduction are generally employed. In snakes, males typically possess

The tip of the tail in female Cerastes vipera, a small viperid snake, is black and conspicuous, whereas that of the male is not. We tested the hypothesis, albeit indirectly, that this sexual dimorphic chromatisation is related to caudal luring, a fee

The pattern of the testicular cycle and spermatogenic activity of the Neotropical yellow-striped snake Lygophis anomalus in Uruguay was investigated. We gathered data on testicular size, seminiferous tubules, and histological samples of preserved spe

The Saharan sand viper, Cerastes vipera, and the crowned leafnose, Lytorhynchus diadema, are small coexisting psammophilic desert snake species, consume primarily lizards and do not engage in male to male combat. They differ in that C. vipera is ovov

Sit-and-wait ambushing and active hunting are two strategies used by predators to capture prey. In snakes, hunting strategy is conserved phylogenetically; most species employ only one strategy. Active hunters encounter and capture more prey but inves

Scorpio Linnaeus, 1758 (family Scorpionidae Latreille, 1802) was considered monotypic for over a century, and comprised a single species, Scorpio maurus Linnaeus, 1758, with 19 subspecies, distributed from West Africa, throughout the Maghreb and the
