A 140-year-old specimen from the southern Trans-Fly region of Papua New Guinea proves that the Eastern Brownsnake, Pseudonaja textilis, was not a wartime or post-war introduction (Serpentes, Elapidae, Hydrophiinae) [PDF]
: The medically important Australian elapid Pseudonaja textilis was first documented for the island of New Guinea in the 1950s, when specimens from the northern coast of the Papuan Peninsula were collected and identified.

Phylogenetic Relationships of Terrestrial Australo-Papuan Elapid Snakes (Subfamily Hydrophiinae) Based on Cytochromeband 16S rRNA Sequences [PDF]
Phylogenetic relationships among the venomous Australo-Papuan elapid snake radiation remain poorly resolved, despite the application of diverse data sets. To examine phylogenetic relationships among this enigmatic group, portions of the cytochrome b and 16S rRNA mitochondrial DNA genes were sequenced from 19 of the 20 terrestrial Australian genera and ...

A multivariate morphometric analysis and systematic review ofPseudonaja(Serpentes, Elapidae, Hydrophiinae) [PDF]
Pseudonaja is a clade of seven nominal species of elapid snakes distributed throughout Australia and in southern New Guinea. The species-level systematics of this group is generally considered to be problematic. A recent phylogenetic analysis of mitochondrial DNA sequences for a geographically extensive series of Pseudonaja specimens revealed nine ...

为了解全球海蛇(Hydrophiinae)的地理分布格局对陆上温度的响应,进一步研究其生存环境与分布丰度模式的关系。从GBIF网站收集全球71种海蛇地理分布信息,划分全球海蛇的高中低丰度区,并划分海蛇的“广布种”和“特有种”,用GIS技术建立物种丰富度模式,获取气候变量数据,对分布丰度和陆上温度生态位宽度进行统计分析。结果显示:有8个区域可被定义为“高丰度区”,22种海蛇可被定义为“广布种”。在高丰度区,部分海蛇加宽陆上温度生态位,部分则收窄生态位;1个物种的局部陆上温度生态位存在地理变异 ...
