Colours influence numerous aspects of an animal's ecology. One possibility is that colour helps make an animal cryptic against the background on which it is resting. We test this hypothesis for two different, geographically separated colour forms (da

Optimizing conservation efforts requires distinguishing between rare and potentially endangered species (few extant individuals, functionally rare) and species that are difficult to find (operationally rare). Certain suites of life-history parameters

One indicator of ecological differences between species is differential locomotory performance in different media. In this study, we compare locomotory speed of two species of natricine snakes on land and in water at a range of temperatures in the la

All else being equal, ectotherms should maintain body temperatures (Tbs) favourable for temperature-sensitive biological functions, such as digestion and locomotion. Physical environments in the temperate zone are often thermally variable, however, t

Generalist species are often both widely distributed and abundant. They also are often plastic in their ecology, both spatially and temporally, in response to variation in resources. Here, we study the food habits of the widespread European Grass Sna

Death feigning, a variant of tonic immobility, is usually interpreted as a last-resort antipredator measure. The authors describe death feigning in grass snakes (Natrix natrix) and test some of its potential correlates. Death feigning was seen in 66%
