Mechanisms of Aristolochic Acid Resistance in Specialist Butterflies and Evolutionary Insights for Potential Protective Pathways

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 19, 2 April 2026.
The study provides an extreme example of insect adaptation to highly toxic defenses of host plants, and investigates the complex strategies to resist carcinogenic aristolochic acids, including physical isolation, metabolic detoxification, and DNA repair.

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

Toxicon: 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

A century of theories of balancing selection

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 804-825, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Traits that affect organismal fitness are often highly genetically variable. This genetic variation is vital for populations to adapt to their environments, but it is also surprising given that nature – after all – ‘selects’ the best genotypes at the expense of those that fall short.

South American rattlesnake bite and soft-tissue infection: report of a case

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2000
The case of a man bitten by a South American rattlesnake (Crotalus durissus) and who developed an abscess at the site of the bite is reported. Abcesses are a rare complication of this type of envenoming, possibly due to the lack of a strong cytotoxic ...

Population dynamics of a long‐lived pitviper inferred from capture–recapture data spanning four decades

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 ...
