“…Some examples include: Amemiya and colleagues' studies on the crotaline snake pit receptors (Amemiya et al, 1999;Amemiya, Ushiki, Goris, Atobe, & Kusunoki, 1996); Young, Marsit, and Meltzer (1999) comparative study of the cloacal scent gland in snakes; Nakano and colleagues' study of the ultrastructure on snake infrared sensory organs (Nakano et al, 2000); Alibardi and Toni's (2005) study on the characterization of cornification proteins in the epidermis of snakes; Hofstadler-Dieques, Walter, Mierlo, and Ruduit (2005)'s creative three-dimensional reconstruction of the snake chondrocranium from histological sections; the very insightful study by Fourneaux et al (2010) examining the evolution of rudimentary eyes in various squamate reptiles including, of course, Typhlops, the blind snake; Liu and colleagues' examination of the anatomy of snake venom via a proteomics approach (Liu et al, 2010); an examination on the ultrastructure of the sea snake kidney by Sever, Rheubert, Gautreaux, Hill, and Freeborn (2012); modeling the snake esophagus to understand its function and development by Cundall et al (2014); Johnston's study on the homology of jaw musculature in snakes and lizards Johnston (2014); a most fascinating, and beautifully illustrated, study exploring the influence of sexual selection on the appearance of hemipenes (male copulatory organs) in Old World snakes (who knew?) by Andonov, Natchev, Kornilev, and Tzankov (2017); Trivino and colleagues' description of the first natural endocranial cast of a fossil snake from the Cretaceous of Patagonia (Trivino, Albino, Dozo, & Williams, 2018); Bassi, de Oliviera, Braz, and de Almeida Santos (2018)'s study on the anatomy underlying oocyte uptake in the coral snake; and Hall and colleagues' insightful study of bony tumors in snakes (Hall, Jacobs, & Smith, 2020). And that is just some of the snakes that have slid into the pages of The Anatomical Record!…”
