Island‐restricted reptiles are more threatened but less studied than their mainland counterparts

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Reptiles are highly diverse on islands, yet there is no comprehensive overview of island‐restricted reptiles (IRRs) regarding their distribution, threat status, and research efforts. Our assessment revealed that despite IRRs comprising nearly a quarter of global reptile species and 30.8% being threatened, only 7.2% of the literature focuses on them ...

Exotic and invasive terrestrial and freshwater animal species in the Dutch Caribbean [PDF]

open access: yes
An overview of 72 invasive animals of the terrestrial and freshwater environments of the Dutch Caribbean, eleven of which are no longer present. All invasive animals that are principally agricultural pests and or animal and plant diseases (46 species ...

Amphibians and Reptiles of United States Department of Defense Installations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) occupies approximately 10.1 million ha of land within the U.S. spanning most ecosystems contained therein. To date, no comprehensive agency-wide inventory of amphibian and reptile species has been compiled.

Cold‐blooded commerce: Characterizing and predicting trade in Australian squamates

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Despite a national ban on native wildlife exports, Australian reptile species continue to appear in international trade. Using boosted regression trees, we found that large body sizes and taxonomic family, rather than color or patterning, best predicted trade presence. We identified 59 species likely to be targeted in the future, providing key insights

Perspectives on the Effect of Incubation Temperature on Pine Snake Hatchlings

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
Effect of timing of egg‐laying and incubation temperature on the possible phenology of events for early egg‐laying females (laying June 15, the earliest laying date), the mid‐laying date (July 4), and late egg‐laying females (July 17, the latest egg‐laying date). Based on data from many papers.

EHD4 and ASAP2 are critical negative regulators of the claudin‐5‐based endothelial barrier

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cell‐surface CLDN‐5 protein levels can be evaluated using a probe that can bind to the extracellular domains of CLDN‐5. A probe derived from Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin allows us to isolate cells with high CLDN‐5 protein levels from a knockout cell library.
