The genome assembly and annotation of the many-banded krait, Bungarus multicinctus
Snakes are a vital component of wildlife resources and are widely distributed across the globe. The many-banded krait Bungarus multicinctus is a highly venomous snake found across Southern Asia and central and southern China. Snakes are an ancient reptile group, and their genomes can provide important clues for understanding the evolutionary history of

Wildlife Roadkill in Chitwan, Nepal: Identifying Affected Species, Potential Drivers and Hotspots
A total of 618 cases involving 36 species of wild vertebrates were reported on sections of National Highways H01 and H05. Comparatively, species richness in road kills was higher on highway H01 (n = 343) than on H05 (n = 275). The road sections that cross between forests, forest edges, and residential areas consistently increase the number of ...

Evaluating the Molecular Potential and Interpretability of DNA in Historical Spirit Collection Media
ABSTRACT Advancements in historical genomics increasingly leverage museum collections to study past ecosystems, species interactions and biodiversity. Formalin‐fixed, ethanol‐preserved specimens, once thought inaccessible to molecular analyses due to DNA degradation, are emerging as valuable genomic resources.

High Genetic Diversity of the Cypress Canker Pathogen Seiridium cardinale in the Southern Hemisphere
Genome‐informed population genetic analyses revealed highly diverse Seiridium cardinale populations in the Southern Hemisphere. Their close relationship to Californian strains suggested multiple human‐mediated introductions from the pathogen's native range and subsequent spread between Southern Hemisphere countries via the trade in Cupressaceae plant ...

Sexual dimorphism in banded kraits (Bungarus fasciatus, Elapidae) from Java
Despite their abundance, wide distribution, and deadly venom, Asian kraits (Bungarus) remain poorly studied. We provide data on body sizes and shapes of 63 banded kraits (B. fasciatus) collected for the commercial skin trade from the vicinity of Cirebon,
