Genomics Reveals Recent Rapid Speciation of Sea Snakes of the Genus Hydrophis (Reptilia, Squamata, Elapidae)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
Understanding the mechanisms of speciation in the open ocean, where few obvious geographic barriers exist, is an important question in ecology. Here, we performed genome‐wide analyses of 16 Hydrophis individuals belonging to different species and found that most of the Hydrophis sea snakes have speciated around 1 million years ago nearly simultaneously.

Revisiting concepts of thermal physiology: understanding negative feedback and set‐point in mammals, birds, and lizards

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 1317-1346, June 2025.
Abstract The thermoregulatory system of homeothermic endotherms operates to attain thermal equilibrium, that is no net loss or gain of heat, where possible, under a thermal challenge, and not to attain a set‐point or any other target body temperature.

Effect of Soil Properties on Species Richness of Fossorial Squamate Reptiles

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Species richness varies greatly over geographic gradients. Climate and other above‐ground attributes are the most common variables used to explain animal richness patterns. However, soil properties may play an important role in shaping the richness of species living underground.

The urgent need to develop novel strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of snakebites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Snakebite envenoming (SBE) is a priority neglected tropical disease, which kills over one hundred thousand people per year. However, many millions of survivors also suffer through disabilities and long-term health consequences.

Snakebite envenoming. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease that kills >100,000 people and maims >400,000 people every year. Impoverished populations living in the rural tropics are particularly vulnerable; snakebite envenoming perpetuates the cycle of poverty.

Coral snake venoms: mode of action and pathophysiology of experimental envenomation

open access: yesRevista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo, 1987
Coral snakes, the New World Elapidae, are included in the genera Micniroides and Micrurus. The genus Mlcrurus comprises nearly all coral snake species and those which are responsible for human snake-bite accidents.

A 140-year-old specimen from the southern Trans-Fly region of Papua New Guinea proves that the Eastern Brownsnake, Pseudonaja textilis, was not a wartime or post-war introduction (Serpentes, Elapidae, Hydrophiinae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
: The medically important Australian elapid Pseudonaja textilis was first documented for the island of New Guinea in the 1950s, when specimens from the northern coast of the Papuan Peninsula were collected and identified.
