Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
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 ...

An Appetite for Destruction: Detecting Prey-Selective Binding of α-Neurotoxins in the Venom of Afro-Asian Elapids

Toxins, 2020
Prey-selective venoms and toxins have been documented across only a few species of snakes. The lack of research in this area has been due to the absence of suitably flexible testing platforms.

Next-generation sequencing yields the complete mitogenome of the Shaw’s sea-snake (Squamata: Elapidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
We report the complete mitogenome of Hydrophis curtus, which is 17,702 bp in size and includes 13 protein-coding (PCGs), two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two control regions. PCGs, with 13 genes, are 11,261 bp in length. All PCGs use as the start codon

Mitochondrial DNA discriminates distinct population of two deadly snakes (Reptilia: Elapidae) in Northeast India

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The DNA data of Indian snakes are scanty in the global database, especially from the northeastern states. The present study generated the mitochondrial Cytochrome b gene information of two morphologically identified deadly elapid species from Mizoram ...

Divergent Specialization of Simple Venom Gene Profiles among Rear-Fanged Snake Genera (Helicops and Leptodeira, Dipsadinae, Colubridae)

Toxins, 2022
Many venomous animals express toxins that show extraordinary levels of variation both within and among species. In snakes, most studies of venom variation focus on front-fanged species in the families Viperidae and Elapidae, even though rear-fanged ...

DNA barcoding elucidates the population genetic diversity of venomous cobra species (Reptilia: Elapidae) in Indo-Bangladesh region

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The DNA barcode data of venomous cobra species (Naja naja and Naja kaouthia) are limited in the global database, especially from India and Bangladesh. Owing to the rapid success of DNA barcoding for discriminating a variety of species around the world ...
