"#MockVipers not only look like tree-dwelling #vipers but also act like them. Intriguingly, they have a fake 'fang' in the front of their mouth, which fools a predator into thinking that they possess #venom fangs during an open-mouthed threat display."

#Phylogenomics of Fresh and Formalin Specimens Resolves the #Systematics of Old World Mud #Snakes (#Serpentes: #Homalopsidae) and Expands Biogeographic Inference https://ssbbulletin.org/index.php/bssb/article/view/9393

"Species of #MudSnake can inhabit fresh, #brackish or saltwater coastal and inland areas, mostly sleeping by day and munching on #fish and #crustaceans by night."

I learned recently that while the #EvoDevo and #phylogenomics literature overwhelmingly use the term #Metazoa, it is an obsolete junior synonym to #Animalia. #zoology
#NCBI taxonomy uses Metazoa, consistent with the use in molecular fields https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Browser/wwwtax.cgi?mode=Info&id=33208&lvl=3&lin=f&keep=1&srchmode=1&unlock
but @gbif uses Animalia https://www.gbif.org/species/1, as does @Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal
As for #ICZN, they don't seem to care for modern concerns about phylogeny and such http://www.animalbase.uni-goettingen.de/zooweb/servlet/AnimalBase/loadcachedpage?url=animalbase-code.html

#OldPosts trilogy time (still working on 3rd pt of my maple phylogenomics post). #Phylogenetics, or #Phylogenomics, is not just blackboxes, give your data a closer look using #Phylonetworks. Ex. in my 2019 "Why the emperor has no clothes on" miniseries
#1: The mighty matK—https://phylonetworks.blogspot.com/2019/10/why-emperor-has-no-clothes-on-mighty.html
#2: A thicket of trees—https://phylonetworks.blogspot.com/2019/11/why-emperor-has-no-clothes-on-thicket.html
#3: Conflict or not?—https://phylonetworks.blogspot.com/2019/11/why-emporer-has-no-clothes-on-conflict.html

Belatedly, I am a plant systematist at The Morton #Arboretum, with active projects in #oaks (#phylogenetics / #phylogenomics, #hybridization, #introgression, genetic and functional #diversity), #prairies (effects of #phylogenetic and functional diversity on #restoration outcomes), #sedges (#genome and #chromosome evolution), and other plant groups. I also tweet on #botany and #NaturalHistory of the #Chicago region and other areas. Meet my lab at: https://systematics.mortonarb.org
