Hansen K, Hansen ESS, Jespersen NRV et al. · Magnetic resonance in medicine · 2022-04 · open access
Purpose Hyperpolarized 13 C MRI is a powerful technique to study dynamic metabolic processes in vivo; but it has predominantly been used in mammals, mostly humans, pigs, and rodents. Methods In the present study, we use this technique to characterize the metabolic fate of hyperpolarized [1- 13…

Currylow AF, McCollister MF, Anderson GE et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2022-02 · open access
We describe several photo-documented novel interactions between intraguild predators in southern Florida-the native bobcat ( Lynx rufus ) and the invasive Burmese python ( Python bivittatus ). Over several days we documented a bobcat's depredation of an unguarded python nest and subsequent python…

- Initial dispersal behavior and survival of non-native juvenile Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) in South Florida.
Pittman SE, Bartoszek IA · BMC zoology · 2021-12 · open access
Background Dispersal behavior is a critical component of invasive species dynamics, impacting both spatial spread and population density. In South Florida, Burmese pythons (Python bivittatus) are an invasive species that disrupt ecosystems and have the potential to expand their range northward.…

- Clutch may predict growth of hatchling Burmese pythons better than food availability or sex.
Josimovich JM, Falk BG, Grajal-Puche A et al. · Biology open · 2021-11 · open access
Identifying which environmental and genetic factors affect growth pattern phenotypes can help biologists predict how organisms distribute finite energy resources in response to varying environmental conditions and physiological states. This information may be useful for monitoring and managing…
- First person – Jillian Josimovich
Biology Open · 2021-11 · open access
ABSTRACT First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Biology Open, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Jillian Josimovich is first author on ‘ Clutch may predict growth of hatchling Burmese pythons…
- Detection of Ophidiomyces ophidiicola in a Wild Burmese Python (Python bivittatus) in Hong Kong SAR, China
Alessandro Grioni, Kar Wing To, Paul Crow et al. · Journal of Herpetological Medicine and Surgery · 2021-10
- The impact of PIT tags on the growth and survival of pythons is insignificant in randomised controlled trial.
Taggart PL, Morris S, Caraguel CGB · PeerJ · 2021-06 · open access
Individual identification is fundamental to the study of captive and wild animals but can have adverse impacts if the method of identification is inappropriate for the species or question of interest. We conducted a randomised controlled trial to test whether passive integrated transponder (PIT)…
- Invasive Burmese pythons alter host use and virus infection in the vector of a zoonotic virus.
Burkett-Cadena ND, Blosser EM, Loggins AA et al. · Communications biology · 2021-06 · open access
The composition of wildlife communities can have strong effects on transmission of zoonotic vector-borne pathogens, with more diverse communities often supporting lower infection prevalence in vectors (dilution effect). The introduced Burmese python, Python bivittatus, is eliminating large and…

- Spatial ecology of invasive Burmese pythons in southwestern Florida
Ian A. Bartoszek, Brian J. Smith, Robert N. Reed et al. · Ecosphere · 2021-06 · open access
Abstract Understanding the spatial ecology of an invasive species is critical for designing effective control programs. Determining and quantifying home range estimates and habitat associations can streamline targeted removal efforts for wide‐ranging, cryptic animals. The Burmese python ( Python…
- DIVERSITY, TAXONOMY AND CONSERVATION STATUS OF HERPETOFAUNA OF RAMNAGAR FOREST DIVISION IN WESTERN TERAI ARC LANDSCAPE, INDIA
Gajendra Singh Mehra · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2021-04 · open access
Terai Arc Landscape (TAL) is a highly biodiverse region and is listed among the 200 important ecoregions of the world. Situated in the foot plains of Himalaya, TAL is distributed among two countries, India and Nepal. The present study was conducted in the western part of TAL known as Ramnagar…

Smith SN, Jones MD, Marshall BM et al. · Scientific reports · 2021-03 · open access
Animal movement and resource use are tightly linked. Investigating these links to understand how animals use space and select habitats is especially relevant in areas affected by habitat fragmentation and agricultural conversion. We set out to explore the space use and habitat selection of Burmese…
