The Discovery of XY Sex Chromosomes in a \u3cem\u3eBoa\u3c/em\u3e and \u3cem\u3ePython\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
For over 50 years, biologists have accepted that all extant snakes share the same ZW sex chromosomes derived from a common ancestor [1, 2, 3], with different species exhibiting sex chromosomes at varying stages of differentiation.

Near‐Freezing‐Temperature Golgi Neuronal Staining for X‐ray Imaging of Human Brain
A near‐freezing temperature staining strategy, combined with a mercury chloride‐based method, effectively preserves delicate neuronal structures in post‐mortem frozen human brain tissues by minimizing autolysis. This approach enables uniform labeling across centimeter‐scale slices and, when integrated with synchrotron‐based X‐ray microscopy, achieves ...

Eliciting a predatory response in the eastern corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus) using live and inanimate sensory stimuli: implications for managing invasive populations [PDF]
North America's Eastern corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus) has been introduced to several islands throughout the Caribbean and Australasia where it poses a significant threat to native wildlife. Invasive snake control programs often involve trapping with
