Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Three forested dispersal corridors have been proposed within the diagonal of open/dry landscapes in South America and the relative importance of each one has been the subject of debate for forest organisms. We analysed the biogeographical history of three snake genera (Bothrops, Philodryas, and Micrurus) from different families (Viperidae ...

Comparative evaluation of funnel, box, and camera traps for reptile and amphibian inventory
Wildlife 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 ...

How Host Phylogeny, Diet, and Habitat Affect Gut Microbial Diversity in Wild Snakes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.Gut microbiota plays critical roles in host digestion, immune regulation, neurochemical signaling, and metabolic homeostasis. Based on wild snakes (73 individuals from 23 species) from China, we explored the composition, characteristics, and functions of gut microbes across different groups using fecal metagenomic samples; further we explored the ...

Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 644-664, April 2026.ABSTRACT Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator–prey interactions have been widely addressed by several studies, little is known regarding the occurrence of cannibal ...

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 10, October 2025.In snakes, profound differences in retinal architecture are observed between diurnal and nocturnal species. Additionally, in the rod‐dominated retinas of nocturnal snakes, coexpression of the cone opsins SWS1 and LWS in individual cones is common, while rhodopsin (RH1) is restricted to typical rods.
