An integrated evaluation of potential management processes on marine reserves in continental Ecuador based on a Bayesian belief network model [PDF]
, 2015 Evaluating potential effects of conservation and management actions in marine reserves requires an understanding not only of the biological processes in the reserve, and between the reserve and the surrounding ocean, but also of the effects of the ...

Sea snakes (Serpentes: subfamilies Hydrophiinae and Laticaudinae) in Vietnam: a comprehensive checklist and an updated identification key [PDF]
Zootaxa, 2011 Sea snakes (Elapidae, subfamilies Hydrophiinae and Laticaudinae) reach a very high species richness in Southeast Asia, but most countries in the region still lack comprehensive and up-to-date identification tools for these snakes. We present an updated checklist of sea snakes in Vietnam.

Inventing an arsenal: adaptive evolution and neofunctionalization of snake venom phospholipase A genes [PDF]
, 2007 Background Gene duplication followed by functional divergence has long been hypothesized to be the main source of molecular novelty. Convincing examples of neofunctionalization, however, remain rare.

Journal of Toxicology, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 This study was designed to investigate the cytotoxicity and haemotoxicity of the Western barred (zebra) spitting cobra (Naja nigricincta nigricincta) venom to help explain atypical and inconsistent reports on syndromes by Namibian physicians treating victims of human ophidian accidents. Freeze‐dried venom milked from adult zebra snakes was dissolved in
