Threat level and sound production mode modulate acoustic warnings and defensive biting in snakes

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Accurately assessing predation risk is important because it enables prey to match their defensive behaviours to the level of threat and avoid unnecessary investment in costly responses.

Out of the fire and into the frying pan: Hostile post‐fire thermal conditions reduce activity windows for reptiles

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change and intensified fire regimes are reshaping ecosystems globally. Reptiles, as ectotherms, rely on microhabitat shelters to buffer against thermal extremes, yet the capacity of these shelters to persist or function following fire remains poorly understood ...

The effect of prenatal environment on brain mitochondrial function and prey detection in a lizard

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The ability to detect prey is crucial for survival in many animals. However, prey detection is a cognitive process that can be influenced by early life conditions such as prenatal stress or temperature.

Beyond thermoregulation: Active behavioural regulation of ultraviolet light exposure by a free‐ranging lizard

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study provides a clear demonstration of active ultraviolet (UV) regulation in free‐ranging lizards and supports that microhabitat choice likely constrains UV regulation more than thermoregulation. Overall, it serves to establish UV as a parallel regulatory axis of physiological homeostasis and expand the range of testable hypotheses in animal ...

Contextually conspicuous species are more likely to be venomous: Habitat‐dependent aposematic colouration found throughout snakes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
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.
