No gain from pain: Lack of nociceptor activation suggests no adaptation for defence in the evolution of European viper venoms

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3048-3062, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Snake venoms show variability in composition at all taxonomic levels, both within and between species, and the selective pressures underlying this variation have long been debated.

Tracing Ancient Migration Routes: Did Gloydius Pitvipers Disperse Across Paleo‐Tibet Through Temperate and Subtropical Corridors?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We investigated the evolutionary and biogeographic history of Himalayan and Hindu Kush Gloydius pitvipers by integrating time‐calibrated phylogenetic analyses with paleoclimatic reconstructions and species distribution modeling. Our results suggest an early Miocene origin in East and Southeast Asia, followed by westward dispersal across Paleo‐Tibet via

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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesWildlife 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 ...

Accuracy of wildlife observations identified by citizen scientists in Florida

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 3, September 2026.
Citizen scientists varied widely in their ability to identify wildlife, with bird identifications substantially more accurate than those of snakes, mustelids, and panthers. Despite frequent misidentifications, public observations generated more confirmed records than professional biologists, demonstrating the value of their involvement. Quality‐control

Bioprospection of rattlesnake venom peptide fractions with anti-adipose and anti-insulin resistance activity in vitro

open access: yesToxicon: X
Animal venoms are natural products that have served as a source of novel molecules that have inspired novel drugs for several diseases, including for metabolic diseases such as type-2 diabetes and obesity. From venoms, toxins such as exendin-4 (Heloderma
