Inflammation induced by snake venoms optimizes envenomation
The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 14, Page 5831-5852, 15 July 2026.Abstract figure legend Schematic illustrating mechanisms underlying direct vascular absorption and subsequent movement of venom toxins into the tissues consequent to snakebite. A, snakebite into prey deposits venom toxins into the tissue interstitium, with the venom then causing acute inflammation primarily in venules.

Use of antivenoms for the treatment of envenomation by Elapidae snakes in Guinea, Sub-Saharan Africa
Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2013 Background In Guinea Elapids are responsible for 20% of envenomations. The associated case fatality rate (CFR) ranged 15-27%, irrespective of treatment.

Burning in banksia woodlands: how does the fire-free period influence reptile communities? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Fire is an important management tool for both hazard reduction burning and maintenance of biodiversity. The impact of time since last fire on fauna is an important factor to understand as land managers often aim for prescribed burning regimes with ...

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.A bicycle dragon (Ctenophorus cristatus) consumes a Jan's banded snake (Simoselaps bertholdi) near the Gawler Ranges National Park in South Australia. This observation is unusual because vertebrate prey make up a vanishingly small portion of the Ctenophorus dragon diet.

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Snakes are experiencing global population decline due to habitat loss, environmental degradation, pollution and climate change, yet effective conservation is often hindered by their cryptic behaviour and low detectability. In this study, we conducted targeted surveys and estimated detection probabilities for the endangered grey snake ...

Visual adaptation of opsin genes to the aquatic environment in sea snakes
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background Evolutionary transitions from terrestrial to aquatic life history cause drastic changes in sensory systems. Indeed, the drastic changes in vision have been reported in many aquatic amniotes, convergently.
