The Ultrastructure of the Spectacle, Cornea and Conjunctiva of the Short‐Nosed Sea Snake Aipysurus apraefrontalis (Elapidae, Squamata) With Particular Reference to the Sub‐Spectacular Space and Its Contents

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 9, September 2026.
Using micro computed tomography, light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, this study reveals that the conjunctival portions of the corneal epithelial and spectacular endothelial lining in the eye of the short‐nosed sea snake Aipysurus apraefrontalis possess high densities of microvilli to increase the surface area and two types of ...

Comparative evaluation of funnel, box, and camera traps for reptile and amphibian inventory

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 3, September 2026.
We used data from 5 herpetological inventories conducted in Florida to evaluate the relative efficacy of funnel, box, and motion‐triggered camera traps for detecting reptile and amphibian species along drift‐fence arrays. Our results suggest that a hybrid array design (funnel traps + central camera trap) is best suited for general herpetofaunal ...

A sensory ecology approach to understanding snakebites: Influence of sensory cues on the strike of the lancehead pitviper

Journal of Zoology, Volume 329, Issue 3, Page 237-246, July 2026.
Snakes are notable for having a broad range of predators and one of the most diverse repertoires of defensive behaviors. During heightened responses to aversive stimuli, one of the behaviors displayed is the venomous bite, particularly relevant because it triggers snakebite incidents in humans.

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 ...

Generalist With a Narrow Niche Breadth: Feeding Ecology and Seed Germination Effectiveness of a Large Canid Within a Silvicultural Matrix

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Diet: The generalist canid exhibits a narrow niche breadth (0.12), consuming native plants (100% frequency) and animals (85%). Birds dominate animal prey (74%), peaking in the dry season, while Solanaceae plants dominate plant food (100%), peaking in the rainy season.

The wide gape of snakes: A comparison of the developing mandibular symphysis in sauropsids

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 937-949, June 2026.
Our analysis explores the adaptations at the mandibular symphysis required to allow extreme lower jaw mobility in macrostomate snakes taking a comparative approach. Abstract The origin and evolution of snakes has been marked by the acquisition of many morphological and functional novelties, one of which is the possession of a highly kinetic skull ...
