Usually, or should I say, often, it points to a place you can’t really get the paper because it is behind a paid firewall.

Also, I tried the link at the end and get “file not found on this server”.

Because http://dx.doi.org/ is missing, and the space got filled in by the default http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2011/09/ . When you mouse over a link, the URL appears in the status bar of your browser.

Was the name “Titanoboa” selected to be a specific reference to our large snakes, or some other reason? It sounds (to this lover of cheesy monster flicks) like the name of a typical SyFy channel movie.
