REPRODUCTION IN A TYPICAL CAPITAL BREEDER: COSTS, CURRENCIES, AND COMPLICATIONS IN THE ASPIC VIPER (2002, methodology): “The total potential cost of reproduction in terms of survival is actually higher and more complex than this, because a female viper's food-gathering activities during her nonreproductive years also constitute a component of reproduction (Bonnet et al. 2000b).”
Length–mass allometry in snakes (2013, background): “Being elongated, snakes have limited abdominal space to hold their litter or eggs (Bonnet et al., 2000).”
