Congruent phylogeographic patterns in a young radiation of live‐bearing marine snakes: Pleistocene vicariance and the conservation implications of cryptic genetic diversity [PDF]
Aim: To investigate phylogeographic patterns among and within co-occurring sea snake species from Australia's endemic viviparous Aipysurus lineage, which includes critically endangered species, and evaluate the conservation implications of geographically

Development of ten polymorphic microsatellite loci for the sea snake Hydrophis elegans (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae) and cross-species amplification for fifteen marine hydrophiine species [PDF]
We developed ten microsatellite loci for the elegant sea snake, Hydrophis elegans, from partial genomic DNA libraries using a repeat enrichment protocol. Eight loci had nine or more alleles per locus (maximum 20), while the other two had three and seven.

Molecular phylogeny of sea snakes reveals a rapidly diverged adaptive radiation [PDF]
Evolutionary relationships within and between the marine hydrophiine sea snake groups have been inferred primarily using morphological characters, and two major groups traditionally are recognized. The Aipysurus group comprises nine species in two genera,

Snakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease that kills >100,000 people and maims >400,000 people every year. Impoverished populations living in the rural tropics are particularly vulnerable; snakebite envenoming perpetuates the cycle of poverty.

Chemical selection of prey in newborn white-lipped tree vipers (Cryptelytrops albolabris G.) [PDF]
Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi povezanost između palucanja jezika i sposobnosti diskriminacije različitih vrsta plijena u mladih zmija neiskusnih u hranjenju.

The venom of the spine-bellied sea snake (Hydrophis curtus): proteome, toxin diversity and intraspecific variation [PDF]
The spine-bellied sea snake (Hydrophis curtus) is known to cause human deaths, yet its venom composition has not yet been proteomically characterised. An in-depth proteomic analysis was performed on H. curtus venom from two different seasons, January and

The Evolution and Adaptive Effects of Transposable Elements in Birds and Elapids [PDF]
Transposable elements (TEs) are genetic sequences able to copy or move themselves across their host genome. As TEs move within their host they can act as a source of genetic novelty, and hence are often described as \drivers of evolution".

Comportamiento clínico, epidemiológico y uso de suero antiofídico BIOL, en el manejo de accidentes ofídico en hospitales de Chontales, Rio San Juan, Matagalpa y Jinotega, en el período de Enero a Agosto de 2013 [PDF]
Las mordeduras por serpientes constituyen algunas de las urgencias más importantes que se atienden en las unidades de salud de Nicaragua, el tratamiento clave para este tipo de lesiones es el suero antiofídico.

Contribution of citizen science to improve knowledge on marine biodiversity in the Gulf Region [PDF]
Monitoring marine biodiversity is costly and practical solutions have to be implemented to identify species and their preferred habitats, particularly in this era of rapid global change.
