Growth and Survival Outcomes for Immature Gopher Tortoises in Contrasting Habitats: A Test of Drone‐Based Habitat Assessment

Ecology and Evolution
Juvenile growth rate is a critical demographic parameter, as it shortens the time to maturity and often dictates how long individuals remain vulnerable to predation.

Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro‐CT

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 6, Page 602-615, June 2026.
Abstract Background Pulmonary development in tetrapods is a complex process, especially within squamates, where single‐chambered, transitional, and multi‐chambered lungs can be found in adult animals. While the embryological development of the respiratory system of lizards and snakes was studied in a number of species between the 1830s and 1940s, the ...

Age Structure, Sexual Dimorphism, and Ontogenetic Melanism in a Captive Population of the Endangered Freshwater Turtle Mauremys reevesii (Gray 1831)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Effectively illustrates the sexual size dimorphism in males and females of endangered Mauremys reevesii. ABSTRACT The age structure of animal populations plays a pivotal role in understanding their demographic dynamics and reproductive potential. Although carapace growth ring analysis is widely used to estimate turtle ages, environmental variability ...

A new endemic karst-associated species of lance-headed pit viper (Squamata, Viperidae, Protobothrops) from Laos [PDF]

Herpetozoa
We describe a new species of lance-headed pit viper from north-western Laos, based on morphological and molecular (6092 bp from cyt b, ND4, COI, 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA mitochondrial DNA genes and c-mos and RAG1 nuclear DNA genes) lines of evidence ...

Dog attacks on wild desert tortoises: A risk model

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Domestic dogs attack and severely injure wild desert tortoises at the urban and ex‐urban interface with deserts. Severe trauma to tortoises increased 4 times to shell and limbs and 16.5 times to the gular horn over the decades between the 1970s and 2000s. Tortoises were at exponential risk of severe trauma when living within 12 km of settlements, towns,
