Identifying Potential Connectivity for an Urban Population of Rattlesnakes (Sistrurus catenatus) in a Canadian Park System

Land, 2020
In the face of ongoing habitat loss and fragmentation, maintaining an adequate level of landscape connectivity is needed to both encourage dispersal between habitat patches and to reduce the extinction risk of fragmented wildlife populations.

Genomic Investigation of Population Structure in a Secretive, Semi‐Fossorial Snake (Colubridae: Tropidoclonion lineatum) Across the Great Plains

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Here we provide the first examination of population structure and genetic variation within a secretive semi‐fossorial snake (Tropidoclonion lineatum), widely distributed across the Great Plains. In our evaluation, we assess the validity of the four historically described subspecies and identify a new potentially isolated population. Our findings reveal

No gain from pain: Lack of nociceptor activation suggests no adaptation for defence in the evolution of European viper venoms

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3048-3062, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Snake venoms show variability in composition at all taxonomic levels, both within and between species, and the selective pressures underlying this variation have long been debated.

Developmental stage ordering yields greater cranial mineralization sequence resolution than embryo size or days since oviposition: A case study using the gekkotan Eublepharis macularius (Blyth, 1854)

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 847-864, October 2026.
We employ a set of leopard gecko embryos for which size, day of development, and developmental stage are known to assess which timetable accords with the greatest resolution of cranial mineralization events. Developmental staging yielded the best outcome. Abstract Mineralization sequences of cranial elements (often referred to as ossification sequences)

Overcoming Detection Lag in a Cryptic Panzootic: Chytrid Invasion Linked to Historically Enigmatic Amphibian Declines in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 19, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As human activity accelerates the spread of pathogens and other invasive species, reconstructing the cryptic early dynamics of undetected invasions has become a central challenge in disease ecology and invasion biology. Here, we leverage museum specimens to reconstruct the invasion of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), a fungal panzootic ...

A large and unusually colored new snake species of the genus Tantilla (Squamata; Colubridae) from the Peruvian Andes [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
A new colubrid species of the genus Tantilla from the dry forest of the northern Peruvian Andes is described on the basis of two specimens, which exhibit a conspicuous sexual dimorphism. Tantilla tjiasmantoi sp. nov.
