The facial pits, characteristics of all
crotaline snakes, were first shown to be sensitive to thermal stimuli by Noble and Schmidt (1937) and have since been studied with modern electrophysiological techniques (Bullock & Dieke, 1956; Goris & Nomoto, 1967; Terashima, 1987), revealing that pit nerve fibers are capable of discriminating stimuli differing by a few thousandths of a degree Celsius.
Cross reactivity and heterologous neutralization of

The bites by
crotaline snakes induce a prominent local tissue damage characterized by edema, hemorrhage and myonecrosis (Ownby 1982, Gutierrez and Lomonte 1989, Gutierrez 2002, Lamar and Sasa 2003, Pinto et al.
Ophryacus undulatus is a

Crotaline intergeneric relationships based on mitochondrial DNA sequence data.
The Carrol Creek fossil vertebra (12533) is wide through the middorsal neural arch region, has a thick, posteriorly directed hypapophysis, and has a moderately depressed neural arch (in posterior view), as in modern
crotaline vertebrae.
If colubrines and
crotalines have consistently been reported as probable, if not actual food items, why then has Nerodia been noticeably absent.
