The ecological origins of snakes as revealed by skull evolution

The ecological origins of snakes as revealed by skull evolution

Three alternatives have been proposed for the ecological state of the ancestral snake: fossorial (burrowing), aquatic, or terrestrial. Here, the authors use an integrative geometric morphometric approach that suggests evolution from terrestrial to fossorial in the most recent common ancestor of exta...
