Population‐Level Laterality of Ambush Posture in the Chinese Green Tree Pit Viper ( <scp> <i>Trimeresurus stejnegeri</i> </scp> ) in Northern Taiwan

= 0.022), whereas no population-level bias was detected at the other two localities. Neither age class nor perching height significantly affected laterality. These results provide the first evidence for site-specific population-level ambush-posture laterality in a snake and suggest that local ecological or demographic contexts, potentially linked to prey community composition and availability, may modulate the expression of laterality. Future work across additional populations and taxa, together with performance-based tests comparing capture success between left- versus right-curved strikes, will be essential for evaluating the adaptive significance of this pattern.
