Anurans or Mice: What is the Best Food Item for Young and Adults of Bothrops jararacussu (Lacerda, 1884) in Captivity?

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
We use Bothrops jararacussu as a model to introduce three different prey items (mice, exotic anuran – bullfrog and native anurans) in captivity. Our experiments indicated that native anurans could be an interesting food alternative to B. jararacussu and other Bothrops species with an ontogenetic diet in captivity.

A procedure using low‐cost reagents to prepare allogeneic platelet gel from standard platelet units

Vox Sanguinis, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Highly effective procedures for the preparation of allogeneic platelet gel (PG) use Ca‐gluconate and batroxobin, an expensive commercial reagent. In this preliminary study, we explored the use of the plasmin‐inhibitor, low‐cost drug tranexamic acid (TXA) in place of batroxobin, based on the literature supporting TXA ...

Unraveling Biogeographic Boundaries Within the Sierra Madre Oriental, México: An Endemicity Analysis Using a Taxonomically Diverse Dataset

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 1, January 2025.
We provide boundaries of the Sierra Madre Oriental in Mexico through a multi‐taxa endemicity analysis. ABSTRACT The Sierra Madre Oriental (SMO) is a significant mountain range and one of Mexico's 14 biogeographical provinces. Its delimitation has been debated.

L-amino acid oxidase from Bothrops atrox snake venom triggers autophagy, apoptosis and necrosis in normal human keratinocytes

Scientific Reports, 2019
Snake venom L-amino acid oxidases (LAAOs) are flavoproteins, which perform diverse biological activities in the victim such as edema, myotoxicity and cytotoxicity, contributing to the development of clinical symptoms of envenomation.

Prey specificity of predatory venoms

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2253-2273, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Venom represents a key adaptation of many venomous predators, allowing them to immobilise prey quickly through chemical rather than physical warfare. Evolutionary arms races between prey and a predator are believed to be the main factor influencing the potency and composition of predatory venoms.
