Fascinating and forgotten, the conservation status of marine elapid snakes [PDF]

, 2013
An assessment of marine elapid snakes found 9% of marine elapids are threatened with extinction, and an additional 6% are Near Threatened. A large portion (34%) is Data Deficient.

A polygeneric immunogen composed of 22 venoms from sub-Saharan African snakes to expand the neutralization scope of the EchiTAb-plus-ICP antivenom

Toxicon: X
Recent research suggests that a polygeneric immunogen made from the venoms of the most medically important viperid and elapid snakes in sub-Saharan Africa could elicit a broader antibody response in horses compared to the current EchiTAb-plus-ICP ...

Phylogenetic Relationships of Elapid Snakes Based on Cytochrome b mtDNA Sequences

, 2015
Published molecular phylogenetic studies of elapid snakes agree that the marine and Australo-Melanesian forms are collectively monophyletic. Recent studies, however, disagree on the relationships of the African, American, and Asian forms.

Multi-output Calibrated Prediction Tool for Australian Elapid Envenomation Outcomes with Conformal Trajectories

Derivation study: multi-output calibrated prediction tool for Australian elapid envenomation outcomes (VICC progression, neurotoxicity onset, snakebite-associated TMA, time-to-coagulation-recovery).

Circannual rhythms of appetite and ecdysis in the elapid snake, Hemachatus haemachatus, appear to be endogenous

, 1999
We demonstrate that appetite and the probability of ecdysis vary seasonally in the temperate African elapid Hemachatus haemachatus. The periods of lowest food acceptance, and lowest probability of shedding, coincided with the late autumn and winter ...

Evolutionary implications of hemipenial morphology in the terrestrial Australian elapid snakes

, 2015
Venomous proteroglyphous or 'elapid' snakes are distributed across much of the tropical and subtropical world but are most diverse in Australia. Due to differing opinions of character weight and problems associated with high levels of homoplasy in ...
