This monograph addresses questions concerning the evolutionary history of advanced snakes using molecular phylogenetic data. Viperids are the sister group of the other clades examined.Atractaspismay share a lineage with elapids. The study concludes that, because of sampling problems, many generalizations concerning snake evolution derived from the fossil record, particularly those about the age of lineages, are probably in error.Cadle, John E. is the author of 'Phylogenetic Relationships among Advanced Snakes: A Molecular Perspective' with ISBN 9780520099562 and ISBN 0520099567.
