Snakes on Trains: Railways May Sway Goa's King Cobra Distribution

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Distribution of King Cobras (Ophiophagus kaalinga) across Goa, India, shows occurrence in climatically suitable forests and, notably, also along low‐suitability railway corridors, suggesting that snakes may be accidentally transported on trains, leading to range expansion.

Current Distribution of the Turkestan White Stork (Ciconia ciconia asiatica) in Kazakhstan

open access: yesInternational Journal of Zoology
Over the last 100 years, the range of the White Stork Ciconia ciconia asiatica (Linnaeus, 1758) in Kazakhstan has greatly diminished; it has entirely disappeared in its former eastern and northern ranges, while the number of nesting sites has decreased ...

Movement and Home Range of the Smooth Softshell Turtle (Apalone mutica): Spatial Ecology of a River Specialist

open access: yesDiversity, 2019
Spatial ecological information is necessary to guide the conservation efforts of river turtles, but it is lacking for many species including the smooth softshell turtle (Apalone mutica). We investigated the spatial ecology of A.

Projecting Climate‐Driven Habitat Loss in Highly Trafficked Lizards: The Role of Dispersal Limitations and Protected Areas

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims Climate change poses severe threats to biodiversity in Australia, particularly for species already at risk from other factors, such as bluetongue lizards (Tiliqua and Cyclodomorphus spp.). Here we model climate‐driven changes in suitable climatic conditions for bluetongue lizards to 2060 and 2100 under multiple climate scenarios and ...

New Insights on Genetic and Morphological Divergence Among a Buthus Species Complex From Tunisia With the Identification of a New Species

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This work presents a revision of Tunisian species within the genus Buthus. By combining molecular and morphological analyses, we describe a new species and we better define the distribution area of all the recorded species and provide new morphological criteria that facilitate their identification and differentiation.

Otago Schist tor lithology controls on lizard habitats, East Otago, New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1176-1189, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Rock outcrops provide distinct physical resources for biological species that depend on them for persistence in terrestrial environments. This paper synthesises existing and new information to characterise and quantify geological features of tor outcrops in Otago Schist that host indigenous rock‐dwelling lizards.

Comparative Phylogeography of Phrynosomatid Lizards in Baja California: Asynchronous Divergences and Expansion of Callisaurus draconoides Across the North American Deserts

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim We tested whether co‐distributed phrynosomatid lizards in the Baja California Peninsula (BCP) share synchronous phylogeographic discontinuities, as predicted by the “peninsular archipelago” hypothesis, and examined the diversification of Callisaurus draconoides throughout its range.
