Oikos, Volume 2022, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 Biological rules describe general morphological, structural and genetic patterns within and across species. Within these, ecogeographical rules correlate phenotypic variation of organisms with biogeography. The latter have been developed over the last 150 years, and recently have gained renewed attention due to climate change, as researchers try to ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 611-623, February 2022., 2022 We show that snakebite risk is explained by abundance, aggressiveness and envenoming severity of the snake species most frequently involved in envenoming cases. Incorporating causality via ecological information of key snake species is critical for snakebite risk mapping, helping to tailor preventive measures for dominant snake species and deploying ...

New material of Laophis crotaloides, an enigmatic giant snake from Greece, with an overview of the largest fossil European vipers [PDF]
, 2016 Laophis crotaloides was described by Richard Owen as a new and very large fossil viperid snake species from Greece. The type material is apparently lost and the taxon was mostly neglected for more than a century. We here describe a new partial viperid

Aspirin plus tirofiban inhibit the thrombosis induced by Russell’s viper venom [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Thrombosis and coagulopathy are the commonest hematological manifestations of envenomation of Russell’s viper venom (RVV). Factor X is activated by a factor X-activating enzyme from Russell’s viper venom (RVV-X) to start the coagulation ...
