We found that many squamates exhibit moderate tolerance of human modification, with wider ranging, larger bodied, faster reproducing species showing the highest tolerance. Intolerance to modification was linked to extinction risk across squamates, supporting the idea that human activity is a primary driver of reptile declines.

Using micro computed tomography, light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, this study reveals that the conjunctival portions of the corneal epithelial and spectacular endothelial lining in the eye of the short‐nosed sea snake Aipysurus apraefrontalis possess high densities of microvilli to increase the surface area and two types of ...

When compared to resident lizards of the corresponding age class, juvenile headstarted Texas horned lizards soft‐released into an urban population exhibited more favorable responses to short‐term translocation objectives (i.e., daily movement rates, home range sizes, and survival rates) than did conspecifics headstarted to the adult age class ...

Tropical forests are rapidly declining. One promising strategy to reverse the loss of tropical forest is the establishment of agroforestry on open land. We combined interviews with biodiversity surveys to learn general lessons from success and nonsuccess stories of the establishment of open‐land‐derived coffee agroforests in one of the world's ...

Abstract Snake envenomation remains a critical global public health challenge. In Brazil, the genus Bothrops is responsible for most accidents, typically resulting in coagulopathy, hemorrhage, and renal failure. Despite its clinical prevalence, the molecular mechanisms driving plasma protein disturbances remain poorly understood.

Abstract Disulfide‐rich miniproteins constitute compact and highly stable scaffolds of growing interest for molecular and structural engineering. Schistosomins are ~80‐residue proteins conserved across gastropods that form a long‐standing orphan family whose structure and biological roles have remained unknown.

Investigating Iranian viper venoms reveals compositional and antigenic diversity impacting antivenom efficacy. The study highlights the need to incorporate both broadly cross‐reactive and specifically under‐represented venoms into immunization mixtures to optimize paraspecific protection strategies.

‘I, Me, Myself’: Selfhood and Melancholy in the Journals of Gertrude Savile (1697–1758)
Abstract This article examines the journals of Gertrude Savile from 1727 in light of recent scholarship on early modern and eighteenth‐century melancholy. The concept had myriad associations with medicine, physiology, the imagination, and feeling, but questions remain about how melancholy during this period was considered by those outside the narrow ...
