194 Media · 181 Specimens · Creator: Sherratt, Emma · Managed by: Emma Sherratt, Jenna Crowe-Riddell

Researchers at The South Australian Museum, University of Adelaide and Flinders University are using X-ray micro-CT and regular X-ray to study skeletal morphology of Australian and SE Asian Elapid Snakes, including but not limited to the Hydrophiinae (true sea snakes). || This project is supported by an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowship to Kate L Sanders (FT130101965), The University of Adelaide Research Fellowship to Emma Sherratt, an ARC Discovery Project grant to Michael SY Lee and Alessandro Palci (DP160103005), and the South Australian Museum Herpetology Collection curated by Mark N Hutchinson. || Data published in: Sherratt, E., K.
