This project investigates how substrate density influences head shape adaptation in snakes, utilizing 3D imaging and mechanical experiments. By analyzing the relationship between physical environments and snake morphology, it aims to clarify evolutionary patterns and functional adaptations in diverse snake species.
Environments impact organism diversity and drive convergence—whereby distantly related species share phenotypes due to adaptation to similar environments (e.g. bird, bat wings).
Evolutionary studies of ‘environment’ often apply arbitrary categories (e.g. fossorial, arboreal) that vaguely blend biotic and abiotic factors, limiting quantitative studies of form-function links.
Innovatively, this project will test the hypothesis that a continuous physical variable (substrate density) has driven head…
