Short‐term versus long‐term effects of food intake on reproductive output in a viviparous snake, Vipera aspis
Feeding rates influence reproductive output in many kinds of animals, but we need to understand
the timescale of this influence before we can compare reproductive energy allocation …

The dangers of leaving home: dispersal and mortality in snakes
For animal populations in many parts of the world, direct (albeit often accidental) killing by
humans may be a significant source of mortality. Many snakes are killed by people (especially …

[HTML][HTML] Children prioritize virtual exotic biodiversity over local biodiversity
JM Ballouard, F Brischoux, X Bonnet - PloS one, 2011 - journals.plos.org
Environmental education is essential to stem current dramatic biodiversity loss, and childhood
is considered as the key period for developing awareness and positive attitudes toward …

Climate affects embryonic development in a viviparous snake, Vipera aspis
Climatic conditions during embryonic development can exert profound and long‐term effects
on many types of organisms, but most previous research on this topic has focussed on …

Body condition threshold for breeding in a viviparous snake
G Naulleau, X Bonnet - Oecologia, 1996 - Springer
One major goal of physiological ecology is to seek links between life history traits. Identification
of a body condition threshold for breeding (eg critical level of body reserves) provides a …

Catchability in snakes: consequences for estimates of breeding frequency
X Bonnet, G Naulleau - Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1996 - cdnsciencepub.com
Estimates of breeding frequencies in wild populations occupy a central place in life-history
studies, but they remain hard to obtain in snakes. Capture–recapture procedures were carried …

Capital versus income breeding: an ectothermic perspective
Energy storage is an important component of life-history variation. Some organisms ("income
breeders") fuel reproductive expenditure by simultaneous feeding, whereas others ("capital …

Are snake populations in widespread decline?
…, LM Luiselli, GC Akani, X Bonnet… - Biology …, 2010 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Long-term studies have revealed population declines in fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds
and mammals. In birds, and particularly amphibians, these declines are a global …

Taxonomic chauvinism
Research in ecology and behaviour is dominated by studies on birds and mammals, and
scientists who work on less ‘popular' organisms (such as amphibians and reptiles) frequently …

Influence of a field trip on the attitude of schoolchildren toward unpopular organisms: an experience with snakes
JM Ballouard, G Provost, D Barré, X Bonnet - Journal of Herpetology, 2012 - BioOne
The general public prefers to support conservation projects that focus on a few, easily “loveable”
species; consequently most of biodiversity is neglected. It is essential to redress such …
