The Proteome of African Spitting and Non‐Spitting Cobra Venoms and Cytotoxicity Against Pancreatic Cancer Cells

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 45, Issue 10, Page 2055-2067, October 2025.
ABSTRACT African cobra (Naja spp.) venom contains toxins dominated by proteins and peptides with inter‐ and intra‐specific variations. There are several FDA‐approved drugs from snake venom toxins from other regions, including South America and Asia. Profiling the proteomes of medically important African cobra venoms from different locations will aid in

Object detection‐assisted workflow facilitates cryptic snake monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 606-617, October 2025.
Camera traps are powerful tools used to study animals. However, camera trap studies often produce large datasets requiring labor‐intensive classification. While many object detection models have been developed to facilitate image analysis, their efficacy when presented with novel species and systems is poorly understood.

Assessment of a Social Media‐Based Method for Determining Raptor Diet [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study mined social media as a citizen science method to reduce the time burden and biases associated with recording accurate diet information for predators. In total, 1985 prey observations were recorded of two Australian coastal raptors and were used to produce diet profiles that were compared by region, social media platform, and against other ...

Exploring gaps, biases, and research priorities in the evidence for reptile conservation actions

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract With over 21% of reptile species threatened with extinction, there is an urgent need to ensure conservation actions to protect and restore populations are informed by relevant, reliable evidence. We examined the geographic and taxonomic distribution of 707 studies that tested the effects of actions to conserve reptiles synthesized in ...

Fossil snakes (Squamata, Serpentes) from the tar pits of Venezuela: taxonomic, palaeoenvironmental, and palaeobiogeographical implications for the North of South America during the Cenozoic/Quaternary boundary [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Background Tar seep deposits in South America historically are well-known for their rich record of fossil mammals, contrasting with only a few formal reports of reptile remains. Here we report a new snake fauna recovered from two tar pits from Venezuela.

Understanding Suitable Habitats and Anthropogenic Mortality Risks for King Cobras in Nepal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
The king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah), a vulnerable species, faces significant habitat loss and mortality risks in Nepal. Using ensemble modeling with 553 occurrence records, this study identified 23,702.62 km2 of suitable habitat, projecting up to 22% habitat loss by 2050 under SSP2‐4.5 climate scenarios.
