Specialist Savvy Versus Generalist Grit: Elucidating the Trade‐Offs in Adaptive Dietary Ecomorphology Amongst African Green and Bush Snakes by Hanlie M. Engelbrecht, Kimberley E. J. Chapelle, Graham J. Alexander

“…African Green and Bush Snakes (Philothamnus) feed primarily on frogs (anurophagous) and lizards (saurophagous), but the degree of intraspecific dietary generalization and specialization remains unclear. Thus, our study had three objectives: (1) to evaluate proportional differences in anurophagy and saurophagy between Philothamnus species, (2) quantitatively assess the shape differences in four of the main cranial bones functional in feeding, and (3) explore models of diet evolution. …”

Pupil size as a biomarker of cognitive (dys)functions: Toward a physiologically informed screening of mental states by Serena Castellotti, Elisa Castaldi, Elvio Blini, Roberto Arrighi

“…We finally conclude by arguing that measuring pupil size has the potential to complement more traditional, but coarse assessment methods, to return a more graded, objective, and physiologically informed picture of cognitive functioning.…”
