Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Abigail L Bamberger"
- Abigail L Bamberger's recent research focuses on the scaling relationships of maximal gape in two large invasive snake species, the Burmese python and the brown treesnake, exploring how their size influences their ability to consume prey.
- The study identifies a significant variance in cranial dimensions and maximal gape across different sizes of the snakes, providing insights into their predation capabilities and ecological impact as invasive species.
- Findings indicate that while skull size exhibits negative allometry relative to overall body size, other cranial measurements often demonstrate isometry or positive allometry, which may influence prey selection and consumption strategies in these serpents.
