How Host Phylogeny, Diet, and Habitat Affect Gut Microbial Diversity in Wild Snakes. [PDF]
Ecol EvolGut microbiota plays critical roles in host digestion, immune regulation, neurochemical signaling, and metabolic homeostasis. Based on wild snakes (73 individuals from 23 species) from China, we explored the composition, characteristics, and functions of gut microbes across different groups using fecal metagenomic samples; further we explored the ...

Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator–prey interactions have been widely addressed by several studies, little is known regarding the occurrence of cannibal ...

An Overlooked Habitat-Dependent Link Between Metabolism and Water Loss in Reptiles. [PDF]
Integr ZoolWe measured the gas exchange of six lizard and six snake species, under high and low air humidity, and two intriguing patterns emerged. First, although desert species lose less water via evaporation than similar‐sized mesic species under similar conditions, water loss is virtually the same when each is exposed to its natural conditions.
