Zoo Biology, Volume 44, Issue 6, Page 572-588, November/December 2025.Based on 94 Massasauga litters born in human care, mean litter size and number of live young per litter were higher in wild‐bred than in zoo‐bred litters. Wild‐bred litters more often contained live young than did zoo‐bred litters. In zoo‐bred litters, dam mass was positively associated with above‐average reproductive output.

Unveiling the Evolutionary History of European Vipers and Their Venoms From a Multi‐Omic Approach
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 21, November 2025.ABSTRACT Snake genomes attract significant attention from multiple disciplines, including medicine, drug bioprospection, and evolutionary biology. However, genomic research within the Viperidae family has mostly focused on the subfamily Crotalinae, while the true vipers (Viperinae) have largely been overlooked.

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 10, October 2025.In snakes, profound differences in retinal architecture are observed between diurnal and nocturnal species. Additionally, in the rod‐dominated retinas of nocturnal snakes, coexpression of the cone opsins SWS1 and LWS in individual cones is common, while rhodopsin (RH1) is restricted to typical rods.
