Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 644-664, April 2026.ABSTRACT 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 ...

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Mediterranean peninsulas typically harbour high intraspecific genetic diversity associated with long‐term persistence in multiple glacial refugia. However, some widespread taxa show unexpectedly shallow phylogeographic structure. Here, we investigate which historical processes can generate a pattern of strong genetic depletion within a ...

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Long‐term studies of plant and animal populations are rare, particularly for long‐lived species with slow life histories. However, such studies are necessary to understand how population dynamics are affected by variation in vital rates. We used a large capture–recapture dataset spanning four decades (1983–2019) to estimate several population ...

Island‐restricted reptiles are more threatened but less studied than their mainland counterparts
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.Reptiles are highly diverse on islands, yet there is no comprehensive overview of island‐restricted reptiles (IRRs) regarding their distribution, threat status, and research efforts. Our assessment revealed that despite IRRs comprising nearly a quarter of global reptile species and 30.8% being threatened, only 7.2% of the literature focuses on them ...
