Evolutionary convergence of muscle architecture in relation to locomotor ecology in snakes

The epaxial muscles in snakes are responsible for locomotion and as such can be expected to show adaptations in species living in different environments. Here, we tested whether the structural units that comprise the superficial epaxial muscles (semispinalis‐spinalis, SSP; longissimus dorsi, LD; ili...
