iguana-17695	Wilson, Larry David; Townsend, Josiah H.	A Bonanza of Boas and Pythons	2007	3	.pdf	application/pdf	2760	97	46	In a chapter measuring and comparing the constric- tion strength in 12 species of snakes, including eight boas and pythons and one tropidophiid, Moon and Mehta demonstrate that snake diameter and the number of coils employed in con- striction strongly influence the pressure exerted during constric- tion, and that the crushing power employed by many species is enough to kill many prey items by crushing the spinal cord or stopping the heart, rather than by suffocation alone. A second such chapter, by Pizzatto and coauthors, addresses the evolution of ecomorphol- ogy in boine snakes, primarily of South America.	cache/iguana-17695.pdf	txt/iguana-17695.txt
