Local Ecological Knowledge and Cultural Perceptions of Snakes in Sudan

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
In Sudan, snakes are viewed through a mix of ecological, cultural, and spiritual lenses, shaping both conservation attitudes and health responses. Our survey (n = 192) across 16 states revealed frequent encounters, polarized conservation views, widespread killing of snakes, reliance on traditional remedies, and strong public support (95%) for ...

Viperidae snakebites in Ecuador: A review of epidemiological and ecological aspects

Toxicon: X, 2020
Snakebite envenoming is a neglected disease of public health concern. Most snakebite accidents occur in developing countries. In Ecuador, 17 viper species are responsible for 99% of official accidents, and ten species are in critical conservation states.

Polymeric Nanoparticles for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Snakebite

Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, Volume 227, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.
Snakebite envenomation affects between 1.8 and 5.5 million people annually, many of whom suffer disabilities or even death. Current antivenoms are composed of plasma‐derived antibodies. However, there remains an underexplored opportunity to utilise polymer‐based nanoparticles.

Ancient habitat shifts and organismal diversification are decoupled in the African viper genus Bitis (Serpentes: Viperidae)

Journal of Biogeography, 2019
The expansion of open habitats during the mid‐Miocene has been hypothesized as a driver of allopatric speciation for many African taxa. This habitat‐dependent mode of diversification has been implicated in the shift from C3 (e.g.

Sensing danger: Energetic and hydric costs of chemoreception in a lizard

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3396-3404, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding the benefits and costs of chemoreception and predator avoidance is crucial for unravelling the ecological adaptations of potential prey organisms. In squamate reptiles, tongue flicking is a specialized behaviour used to collect chemical cues from the ...

Postprandial thermogenesis in Bothrops moojeni (Serpentes: Viperidae) [PDF]

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2011
Snakes that can ingest prey that are proportionally large have high metabolic rates during digestion. This great increase in metabolic rate (specific dynamic action - SDA) may create a significant augment in the animal's body temperature. The present study investigated postprandial thermogenesis in Bothrops moojeni.
