Urban–Wild Interface Diversity: A Comprehensive Checklist of Herpetofauna of Guayaquil, Ecuador

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Amphibians and reptiles in Guayaquil comprise multiple taxonomic orders and occur across conservation areas, forest remnants, and urban parks, including several endemic species and numerous taxa with type localities in the city. Although most species are globally classified as Least Concern, discrepancies between global and national threat assessments ...

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 864-911, April 2026.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Morphology of the snake spectacle reflects its evolutionary adaptation and development

BMC Veterinary Research, 2017
Background Covering the eye of all snakes is a transparent integumental structure known as the spectacle. In order to determine variations in spectacle thickness among species, the spectacles of 217 alcohol-preserved museum specimens of 44 species ...

Between Risk and Refuge: Anthropogenic Linear Features Serve as Barriers, Corridors, and Habitat for Eastern Copperheads (Agkistrodon contortrix)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Urbanization introduces linear anthropogenic features which have potential to hinder or facilitate wildlife movement. Using 6 years of radiotelemetry (1950 relocations) on a population of eastern copperheads in an urban nature park, we found snakes consistently avoided road crossings, yet selected for roadside habitat, trail crossings, and powerline ...

Ophidiomycosis Prevalence and Disease Ecology in a Natrix tessellata (Laurenti, 1768) Population From Northern Italy

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 345, Issue 3, Page 292-305, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Fungal pathogens pose a growing threat to vertebrate biodiversity. In snakes, Ophidiomyces ophidiicola (Oo) has garnered particular concern, although its impact in Europe remains poorly understood. We conducted a season‐long, standardized survey of dice snakes (Natrix tessellata) along the northern shore of Lake Como (Italy) to quantify Oo and
