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.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Soil drought imposes moderate, temporary costs on a strictly fossorial amphisbaenian reptile. However, these animals seem to cope with, at least, moderately short droughts thanks to their peculiar adaptations to living in an underground environment. ABSTRACT The physiological traits of animals can be strongly influenced by climatic fluctuations, and ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Temperature differentially impacts evaporative water loss in sympatric congeners (genus Crotalus). At the highest temperature the species with the broadest distribution in terms of range and habitat variability had significantly higher evaporative water loss than other species.

Subspecies taxonomy reflects social and geographic patterns of taxonomic effort in tetrapods
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Subspecies have been used in conservation biology to account for intraspecific patterns in genetic diversity, which is crucial to long‐term population viability. Although over 3200 subspecies are currently assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, their biological relevance remains controversial.

Investigating Snake-Venom-Induced Dermonecrosis and Inflammation Using an Ex Vivo Human Skin Model
ToxinsSnakebite envenoming is a neglected tropical disease that causes >100,000 deaths and >400,000 cases of morbidity annually. Despite the use of mouse models, severe local envenoming, defined by morbidity-causing local tissue necrosis, remains poorly ...

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction It is recommended to detect lupus anticoagulant (LA) using two phospholipid‐dependent clotting assays, including a LA‐sensitive activated partial‐thromboplastin‐time (aPTT). Among these reagents, Staclot‐LA assay is performed on a mixture of test and normal plasma with and without hexagonal phase phospholipids.
