Bioinformatics‐Driven Design and Evaluation of Recombinant Multi‐Epitope Immunogens Derived From Snake Venom Toxins as Potential Antivenom Candidates

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1403-1426, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation is a major public health concern, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income regions where access to safe and effective antivenoms is limited. Traditional antivenoms, derived from immunization with crude venom, often trigger adverse reactions and lack specificity against key venom components.

When the Cover Burns: Behavioral and Morphological Responses of Western Fence Lizards (Sceloporus occidentalis) to Increased Openness in Post‐Fire Environments

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We found that Western Fence Lizards experience higher detectability in burned areas but do not consistently darken or adjust perch use to enhance background matching, despite showing improved camouflage on darker substrates. These results suggest that lizards may face behavioral trade‐offs in post‐fire landscapes that could influence success.

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

open access: yesAustral 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.
