Neotropical Snakes Reveal Different Geological Times for Dispersal Corridors Between Amazon and Atlantic Forests

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Three forested dispersal corridors have been proposed within the diagonal of open/dry landscapes in South America and the relative importance of each one has been the subject of debate for forest organisms. We analysed the biogeographical history of three snake genera (Bothrops, Philodryas, and Micrurus) from different families (Viperidae ...

Synthesis, Anti‐Leishmania amazonensis Activity, Cytotoxicity, and Molecular Docking of Anthranilate–Naphthoquinone Hybrids

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 40, 27 October 2026.
New anthranilate–naphthoquinone hybrids display potent inhibition of Leishmania (L.) amazonensis with low host cell toxicity. Molecular docking reveals key interactions with TR, GP63, and PTR1, suggesting a multitarget mechanism that contributes to parasite death.

No gain from pain: Lack of nociceptor activation suggests no adaptation for defence in the evolution of European viper venoms

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3048-3062, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Snake venoms show variability in composition at all taxonomic levels, both within and between species, and the selective pressures underlying this variation have long been debated.

Repurposed small molecule toxin inhibitors neutralise a diversity of venoms from the Neotropical viperid snake genus Bothrops

eLife
Snakebite globally claims more than 100,000 lives per year and results in morbidity for 400,000 survivors. Current treatment uses antibody-based antivenoms which are constrained by their efficacy, safety, and cost. In this study we evaluated the efficacy
