Article Synopsis
- The grass snake and adder are two snake species in Britain that live in the same habitats but have different feeding strategies.
- Researchers studied their morphologies in Dorset using geometric morphometrics, finding significant sexual dimorphism in head size but not in shape for both species.
- The study revealed that the grass snake's head shape is influenced by body size, while the adder’s venomous nature may explain its distinct allometric patterns and body shape correlations.
