Great to see @amyduclaux.bsky.social new paper on snake coloration published doi.org/10.1111/1365... and getting some media coverage. Amy used images for 458 species from @inaturalist.bsky.social to show that venomous species stand out more from their background more than non-venomous species. 🌐

Venomous snakes much likelier to have bright colours than harmless counterparts, Galway researchers find
The research saw the report's authors analyse more than 450 snake species using thousands of photographs
