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 ...

Polymeric Nanoparticles for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Snakebite

open access: yesMacromolecular Chemistry and Physics, Volume 227, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
Snakebite envenomation affects between 1.8 and 5.5 million people annually, many of whom suffer disabilities or even death. Current antivenoms are composed of plasma‐derived antibodies. However, there remains an underexplored opportunity to utilise polymer‐based nanoparticles.
