Positive Selection of TLR2 and MyD88 Genes Provides Insights Into the Molecular Basis of Immunological Adaptation in Amphibians

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.
We found that recurrent positive selection has acted on TLR2 and MyD88 in amphibians and positively selected sites were mainly located at or close to function domains. Our results suggest that amphibians have adapted to different pathogenic microorganisms during their transition from the aquatic to terrestrial environment and diversification into ...

Development of a Tetraplex Digital PCR Assay for the Detection of Invasive Snake Species in Florida, USA

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.
A tetraplex digital PCR assay was developed for four invasive snake species in the Florida Everglades. This assay is a resource that will be used in eDNA monitoring of these invasive species. ABSTRACT Florida, USA is a hotspot of biological invasions with over 500 non‐native species reported. Reptiles encompass most of the non‐native wildlife with over

Geographical distribution of Viperidae, Elapidae and Hydrophidae in Costa Rica.

Revista de biologia tropical, 1973
During the past three years the Instituto Clodomiro Picado has collected 2090 specimens of venomous snakes belonging to the Viperidae, Elapidae, and Hydrophidae families. Careful records of the places of capture were kept to map the geographical distribution. Our data present sorne discrepancies with those of other authors.

Trends in Reptile Holdings Across UK Zoos: Identification of the Factors Responsible for Declining Numbers of Venomous Snake

Zoo Biology, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 556-569, November/December 2024.
In this study, we describe the trends in reptile holdings across UK zoos. Our results show that despite an overall increase in reptile numbers, there has been a dramatic decline in the number of venomous snakes being kept at UK zoos, and, as a consequence, venomous snakes are being excluded from many of the conservation benefits that zoos provide ...

VenomCap: An exon‐capture probe set for the targeted sequencing of snake venom genes

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 24, Issue 8, November 2024.
Abstract Snake venoms are complex mixtures of toxic proteins that hold significant medical, pharmacological and evolutionary interest. To better understand the genetic diversity underlying snake venoms, we developed VenomCap, a novel exon‐capture probe set targeting toxin‐coding genes from a wide range of elapid snakes, with a particular focus on the ...

Predictors of orbital convergence in primates: A test of the snake detection hypothesis of primate evolution [PDF]

, 2011
Traditional explanations for the evolution of high orbital convergence and stereoscopic vision in primates have focused on how stereopsis might have aided early primates in foraging or locomoting in an arboreal environment. It has recently been suggested

Kimboza, a Small Lowland Forest With an Outstanding Herpetofauna Diversity in East Africa

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
We provide a curated checklist of amphibians and reptiles in Kimboza Nature Forest Reserve (KNFR) in Tanzania based on the new intensive fieldwork and old survey information. The KNFR boasts the richest diversity per km2 in Tanzania and potentially the continent.
