Using life history to predict outcomes of conservation translocations of herpetofauna
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We collected data on key life history traits for all herpetofauna profiled in the IUCN Global Conservation Translocation Perspectives series to examine how life history can predict outcomes and difficulties of conservation translocations. The relationships we found provide important insights for conservation practitioners that can be used in the ...

Suramin inhibits the early effects of PLA(2) neurotoxins at mouse neuromuscular junctions: a twitch tension study [PDF]
, 2011 Several phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) neurotoxins from snake venoms can affect acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction. In isolated nerve-muscle preparations three distinct phases have been described for this phenomenon: An initial transient ...

Exploring gaps, biases, and research priorities in the evidence for reptile conservation actions
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract With over 21% of reptile species threatened with extinction, there is an urgent need to ensure conservation actions to protect and restore populations are informed by relevant, reliable evidence. We examined the geographic and taxonomic distribution of 707 studies that tested the effects of actions to conserve reptiles synthesized in ...
