The constriction library provides a set of composable entropy coding algorithms with a focus on correctness, versatility, ease of use, compression performance, and computational efficiency. The goals ...

Python package for the equilibrium analysis of Ref. 1. It includes a module implementing the equilibrium model, as well as a module for creating plots with this model, as well as plots from finite ...

Snakes are important predators that have radiated throughout many ecosystems, and constriction was important in their radiation. Constrictors immobilize and kill prey by using body loops to exert ...

Constriction is a prey-immobilization technique used by many snakes and is hypothesized to have been important to the evolution and diversification of snakes. However, very few studies have examined ...

In 1803, the French zoologist François Marie Daudin gave the name python to any non-venomous, mottled snake with a forked tongue. The name now describes a genus of snakes that have shared ...
