Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.A tetraplex digital PCR assay was developed for four invasive snake species in the Florida Everglades. This assay is a resource that will be used in eDNA monitoring of these invasive species. ABSTRACT Florida, USA is a hotspot of biological invasions with over 500 non‐native species reported. Reptiles encompass most of the non‐native wildlife with over

How anatomy influences measurements of snakes
Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 8, August 2024.The anatomy of snakes compromises the precision and accuracy of measurements of their trunk and head. The trunk vertebral column has many synovial intervertebral joints, each capable of limited compression and extension, making a single, exact resting state unlikely.

Steven A. Brown and the synchronization of circadian rhythms by body temperature cycles
European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 3891-3900, July 2024.The master pacemaker in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and ambient temperature cycles determine the phase and amplitude of body temperature oscillations. The latter, in conjunction with feeding–fasting rhythms and blood‐borne signals, participate in the synchronization of circadian clocks in peripheral organs.

First Record of Boa Constrictor (Serpentes, Boidae) in the Quaternary of South America
Journal of Herpetology, 2008 Vertebral remains assignable to the extant snake Boa constrictor, found in the Toropi Formation (Late Pleistocene, Lujanian age) at Arroyo Toropi, northeastern Argentina, are here described. These remains represent the first snake record from the Lujanian age and determine the minimum age for the species as 50–35 ka BP.
