Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022 We show that sea kraits are dependent on microhabitats in old‐growth coastal forest of a topographically flat Fijian atoll for terrestrial activities. Therefore, environmental heterogeneity and high‐quality terrestrial habitats, as well as healthy coral reefs, are essential for sea kraits, making them good flagship species for advocating integrated ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 10, Page 1942-1957, October 2021., 2021 Abstract Aim Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding has demonstrated its applicability as a highly sensitive biomonitoring tool across small spatial and temporal scales in marine ecosystems. However, it has rarely been tested across large spatial scales or biogeographical barriers. Here, we scale up marine eDNA metabarcoding, test its ability to detect

The adaptive significance of large size at birth in marine snakes
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Evolutionary shifts from one habitat type to another can clarify selective forces that affect life-history attributes. Four lineages of snakes (acrochordids and three clades within the Elapidae) have invaded marine habitats, and all have larger offspring

On the occurrence of Persian Gulf Sea Snake, Hydrophis lapemoides (Gray, 1849) (Reptilia, Squamata, Elapidae, Hydrophiinae), along the coast of Bangladesh [PDF]
Check List, 2021 We provide the first evidence of the presence of the Persian Gulf Sea Snake, Hydrophis lapemoides (Gray, 1849), along the coast of Bangladesh. This species was assumed to exist in there, but neither specimens nor confirmed observations exist until now ...

Ultrastructural and Molecular Characterisation of an Heterosporis-Like Microsporidian in Australian Sea Snakes (Hydrophiinae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Four sea snakes (two Hydrophis major, one Hydrophis platurus, one Hydrophis elegans) were found washed ashore on different beaches in the Sunshine Coast region and Fraser Island in Queensland, Australia between 2007-2013.

Toxins, 2021 Envenomation resulted from sea snake bite is a highly lethal health hazard in Southeast Asia. Although commonly caused by sea snakes of Hydrophiinae, each species is evolutionarily distinct and thus, unveiling the toxin gene diversity within individual ...

Molecules and morphology reveal overlooked populations of two presumed extinct Australian sea snakes (Aipysurus: Hydrophiinae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 The critically endangered leaf-scaled (Aipysurus foliosquamaI) and short-nosed (A. apraefrontalis) sea snakes are currently recognised only from Ashmore and Hibernia reefs ~600km off the northwest Australian coast.

Rediscovery of the yellow-bellied sea snake (Hydrophis platurus) in South Korea (Squamata: Elapidae)
Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2020 We report the rediscovery of the yellow-bellied sea snake (Hydrophis platurus) in South Korea based on four specimens collected in Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, between June 2017 and November 2018.
