Beyond Species Diversity: Functional Approaches Reveal Consistent Fauna Community Responses to Exotic Grass Invasion in Arid Lands

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
To assess whether the impacts of exotic plant invasion can be generalised across taxa, we developed a conceptual framework predicting faunal responses to grass invasion in open, arid ecosystems and tested our predictions using data on birds, reptiles and ants from sites invaded by buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) and paired uninvaded sites.

Phylogeography and dispersal in the velvet gecko (Oedura lesueurii), and potential implications for conservation of an endangered snake (Hoplocephalus bungaroides). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
: BACKGROUND: To conserve critically endangered predators, we also need to conserve the prey species upon which they depend. Velvet geckos (Oedura lesueurii) are a primary prey for the endangered broad-headed snake (Hoplocephalus bungaroides), which is ...

Snakebite injuries in Hong Kong: A 10‐year review

open access: yesHong Kong Journal of Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Background Snakebite envenomation is a priority neglected tropical disease according to the World Health Organization. To address the issue, enhanced epidemiological evidence in endemic countries and an improved availability of snake antivenoms were proposed. Objectives To understand the local epidemiology of snakebite cases, promote awareness

Population dynamics of a long‐lived pitviper inferred from capture–recapture data spanning four decades

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Long‐term studies of plant and animal populations are rare, particularly for long‐lived species with slow life histories. However, such studies are necessary to understand how population dynamics are affected by variation in vital rates. We used a large capture–recapture dataset spanning four decades (1983–2019) to estimate several population ...
