Don't You Know That I'm Toxic? Wild Birds Learn to Avoid a Novel Aposematic Warning Signal
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.The foraging behaviours of predators towards aposematic prey have been studied extensively and there is much empirical evidence to support this theory. Often, studies involving wild species are relatively short‐term and so there is a possibility that any aversive behaviours exhibited by predators are merely neophobic. In this study, we ensure predators

Proteomic and functional variation within black snake venoms (Elapidae: Pseudechis ) [PDF]
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2018 Pseudechis (black snakes) is an Australasian elapid snake genus that inhabits much of mainland Australia, with two representatives confined to Papua New Guinea. The present study is the first to analyse the venom of all 9 described Pseudechis species (plus one undescribed species) to investigate the evolution of venom composition and functional ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.This study examines the global distribution of marine reptiles and mammals, revealing contrasting biogeographic patterns shaped by their distinct evolutionary histories. Marine mammals exhibit non‐random distributions with elevated taxonomic distinctness in the Arctic and North Pacific, whereas marine reptiles show phylogenetic clustering in tropical ...
