Epidemiology and characteristics of coral snake bites reported to the National Poison Data System (2006‒2022)

Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians Open
Objectives North American coral snake envenomations can result in life‐threatening neurotoxicity. Their bites are relatively rare, making large studies difficult.

The Backbone of Regionalisation: Refining Axial Regionalisation Through 3D Morphometric Sampling Strategies on Elapid Snakes

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 8, August 2026.
Using 3D geometric morphometrics on every precaudal vertebra from 12 elapid snakes, this study used segmented linear regression to test regionalisation. The results show a five‐region model is best supported, including short cervical and lumbar regions and a strong heart‐aligned boundary at approximately 20% of the pre‐caudal column.

Does Trap Type Matter? Evaluating the Influence of Funnel and Pitfall Traps on Reptile Relative Abundance and Diversity

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Compounding pressures from climate change, land use change and habitat loss are driving global biodiversity declines. Reptiles are particularly vulnerable to these threats due to their small range sizes and limited dispersal abilities. However, data on species distributions, population sizes and basic ecology remain sparse for many Australian ...

Highlands, Islands and the Evolutionary Impact of Founder Event Dispersal in Sinomicrurus Coralsnakes

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Island archipelagos and montane regions of East and Southeast Asia represent some of the world's most biodiverse yet poorly understood biogeographic systems. Whether regional diversity accumulates primarily through in situ speciation, dispersal‐mediated range shifts, or some combination of these processes remains unclear.

Bioinformatics‐Driven Design and Evaluation of Recombinant Multi‐Epitope Immunogens Derived From Snake Venom Toxins as Potential Antivenom Candidates

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 94, Issue 7, Page 1403-1426, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Snakebite envenomation is a major public health concern, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income regions where access to safe and effective antivenoms is limited. Traditional antivenoms, derived from immunization with crude venom, often trigger adverse reactions and lack specificity against key venom components.

Discovery of Neuroprotective Venom‐Derived Candidates From Naja Mandalayensis in mHippoE‐18 Cells Via Fractionation and Proteomic Mapping

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 5, May 2026.
Venom‐derived peptide diversity from Naja mandalayensis reveals bioactive subfractions capable of modulating neuronal oxidative stress responses. Integration of RP‐HPLC fractionation and proteomics identifies toxin families associated with improved mitochondrial function and cellular integrity in mHippoE‐18 cells, supporting venoms as a platform for ...
