Effect of Food Mass in the Gut on the Metabolic Rate of Carcinus maenas in the Field

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
We measured the metabolic costs of digestion of crabs in the field to determine its impact relative to the many other factors that can influence metabolic rates. We show that the costs of digestion are detectable, but play a relatively minor role in the overall energetic costs of the European green crab.

Prey specificity of predatory venoms

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2253-2273, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Venom represents a key adaptation of many venomous predators, allowing them to immobilise prey quickly through chemical rather than physical warfare. Evolutionary arms races between prey and a predator are believed to be the main factor influencing the potency and composition of predatory venoms.

Peering into the unknown world of amphisbaenians (Squamata, Amphisbaenia): A summary of the life history of Amphisbaena alba

Acta Zoologica, Volume 105, Issue 4, Page 539-550, October 2024.
Abstract Capturing data on the life of fossorial vertebrates is difficult since access to the subterranean environment is made unfeasible by its density and opacity. Collecting specimens is only possible through excavation work, causing damage or even death to the specimens.

Laboratory evaluation of young ovines inoculated with natural or 60co-irradiated Crotalus durissus terrificus venom during hyperimmunization process

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2006
Laboratory profile of young ovines was studied in order to evaluate and compare their antiserum production from natural and Cobalt-60 irradiated Crotalus durissus terrificus (C.d.t.) venoms. The parameters analyzed included complete blood count, and urea,

Gape‐limited invasive predator frequently kills avian prey that are too large to swallow

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Gape‐limited predators (e.g. snakes, many fish) are not generally expected to pose a predation threat to prey that are too large for them to swallow, but the extent to which snakes predate on prey that exceed their gape limitation remains largely unknown.

Snake venom toxins: Potential anticancer therapeutics

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 666-685, May 2024.
Abstract Snake venom contains a cocktail of compounds dominated by proteins and peptides, which make up the toxin. The toxin components of snake venom attack several targets in the human body including the neuromuscular system, kidney and blood coagulation system and cause pathologies. As such, the venom toxins can be managed and used for the treatment

Rabdomióilise secundária a acidente ofídico crotálico (Crotalus durissus terrificus) [PDF]

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1986
Relatam-se dois casos de rabdomiólise secundária a envenenamento produzido por Crotalus durissus terrificus. O diagnóstico da rabdomiólise baseou-se na mialgia intensa e generalizada apresentada pelos pacientes e na constatação de níveis séricos elevados de CPK, TGO e DHL.

Chronic venous insufficiency and venous leg ulcers: Aetiology, on the pathophysiology‐based treatment

International Wound Journal, Volume 21, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract The chronic venous disease covers a wide spectrum of venous disorders that are characterized by severely impaired blood return that primarily affects veins in the lower extremities. Morphological and functional abnormalities of the venous system led to chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), and present as leg heaviness/achiness, edema ...
