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

First Record of Boa Constrictor (Serpentes, Boidae) in the Quaternary of South America
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.

How anatomy influences measurements of snakes
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.

At the Lower Size Limit of Snakes Preying on Bats in the West Indies: The Cuban Boa, Chilabothrus angulifer (Boidae) [PDF]
Bat predation by snakes has been repeatedly documented in the literature, particularly for boids and colubroids. In the West Indies, species of the genus Chilabothrus (Boidae) are the most frequently reported bat predators. However, bats are difficult to

We perform a rapid survey of amphibians, reptiles, and bats at the Mata de Plátano Field Station and Nature Reserve in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, a protected reserve adjacent to a larger forest. Our rapid survey resulted in finding 70%, 14%, and 22% of the amphibians, reptiles, and bat fauna, respectively, highlighting that smaller areas can act as refuges ...

Steven A. Brown and the synchronization of circadian rhythms by body temperature cycles
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.
