Snakes comprise nearly 4,000 extant species found on all major
continents except Antarctica. Morphologically and ecologically
diverse, they include burrowing, arboreal, and marine forms,
feeding on prey ranging from insects to large mammals. Snakes are
strikingly different from their closest lizard relatives, and their
origins and early diversification have long challenged and enthused
evolutionary biologists. The origin and early evolution of snakes
is a broad, interdisciplinary topic for which experts in
palaeontology, ecology, physiology, embryology, phylogenetics, and
molecular biology have made important contributions. The last 25
years has seen a surge of interest, resulting partly from new
fossil material, but also from new techniques in molecular and
systematic biology. This volume summarises and discusses the state
of our knowledge, approaches, data, and ongoing debates. It
provides reviews, syntheses, new data and perspectives on a wide
range of topics relevant to students and researchers in
evolutionary biology, neontology, and palaeontology.
