Comparison of fang replacement rate in Viperidae snakes [PDF]
Scientific ReportsOnly a few studies have estimated fang replacement rate (FRR) in free-ranging snakes. We compared FRR between Crotalinae and Viperinae, two major clades of Viperidae. Crotalinae species differ by having pit organs which allow efficient strike at the prey,

Evolutionary History and Climatic Correlates of Hypermelanism in Viperidae. [PDF]
Ecol EvolABSTRACTBody colorations have been investigated intensely concerning their adaptive significance from the ecological and evolutionary perspectives. Studies on melanism have caught growing interest thanks to its marked variability across space, time and taxon and, in ectotherms, it has been hypothesised to be driven by thermal advantages. Among reptiles,

Snake Venom Protease Detection and Inhibition in Serum. [PDF]
ChemMedChemA fluorescence assay enables sensitive detection of the activities of snake venom metalloproteases (SVMP) and serine proteases (SVSP) from viper venoms in buffer and serum. In combination with effective low‐molecular‐weight inhibitors such as ilomastat and nafamostat, this approach offers new prospects for the rapid diagnosis and adjunctive therapy of ...
