Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 11, Page 2322-2334, November 2026.Conspicuous colouration signals venomous nature throughout snakes. Abstract Many animals use conspicuous colours to advertise their unprofitability to potential predators, a phenomenon known as aposematism. For example, conspicuous banded patterns in snakes are often highlighted as aposematic signalling of their venomous nature.

Global Status and Threats to Rock Dependent Reptiles
Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 6, November/December 2026.ABSTRACT Rocky areas are widespread across many biomes globally and provide critical habitat for a diverse range of species. One group commonly associated with rocky areas are reptiles, with many species adapted to exploit the unique structural and microclimatic characteristics of rocky areas.

XI. On the action of the venom of Bungarus Cœruleus (the common krait) [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Containing Papers of a Biological Character, 1904 Abstract The following experimental research upon the pharmacological action of the venom of the common Krait (Bungarus cœruleus), was performed in the Pharmacological Laboratory of the University of Edinburgh, and we are greatly indebted to Sir Thomas R.

SNAKEBITE POISONING IN CHILDREN
Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2003 Snakebite Poisoning is a common paediatric emergency especially during the monsoon season in the terai and inner terai regions of Nepal. There is hardly any study conducted so far in Nepal to highlight different aspects of snakebite poisoning in children.

Bioactive peptides in cancer and inflammation: Mechanisms, model systems and clinical translation
Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.Bioactive peptides (BAPs) derived from host, marine, insect, plant and synthetic sources share cationic, amphipathic structures adopting α‐helical, β‐sheet or cyclic conformations. These features underlie anti‐cancer effects, including membrane disruption, apoptosis and cell‐cycle arrest, anti‐metastatic activity, reduced invasion and migration, and ...

Envenoming bites by kraits: The biological basis of treatment-resistant neuromuscular paralysis
β-Bungarotoxin, a neurotoxic phospholipase A2 is a major fraction of the venom of kraits. The toxin was inoculated into one hind limb of young adult rats. The inoculated hind limb was paralysed within 3 h, and remained paralysed for 2 days. The paralysis

Northward dispersal of sea kraits (Laticauda semifasciata) beyond their typical range.
PLoS ONE, 2017 Marine reptiles are declining globally, and recent climate change may be a contributing factor. The study of sea snakes collected beyond their typical distribution range provides valuable insight on how climate change affects marine reptile populations ...
