- The endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol mediates seasonal life-history transitions in a wild reptile.
Merlino LJ, Florence P, Lin L et al. · The Journal of experimental biology · 2026-07 · open access
The mechanisms regulating seasonal transitions between reproduction and feeding behavior are not well understood. Endocannabinoids modulate neuronal signaling in reproductive, metabolic and locomotive control centers and are widely distributed throughout the vertebrate nervous system, making them a…

- Cryptosporidium spp. in captive snakes from 26 provinces in China: Prevalence, molecular characterization, and symptoms.
Zhang Y, Lu Z, He L et al. · Parasite (Paris, France) · 2024-08 · open access
Introduction Cryptosporidium spp. is classified as a protozoan parasite of the apicomplexan group and is recognized as zoonotic. This genus has garnered significant attention globally due to its public health significance, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified it as an indicator of…
- The relative contributions of habitat area, configuration, and vegetative diversity on snake and lizard presence in agricultural landscapes
Matthew D. Stephenson, Lisa A. Schulte Moore, Robert W. Klaver · Conservation Science and Practice · 2024-03 · open access
Abstract Nearly one in five reptile species is at risk of extinction. Changes in habitat area, its configuration, and vegetation diversity could affect habitat use, but their relative importance is understudied. We assessed how these factors affected reptile presence in agricultural landscapes…

- Bolder together: conformity drives behavioral plasticity in eastern gartersnakes.
Skinner M, Nagabaskaran G, Gantert T et al. · Animal cognition · 2024-02 · open access
Personality traits drive individual differences in behaviour that are consistent across time and context. Personality limits behavioural plasticity, which could lead to maladaptive choices if animals cannot adapt their behavior to changing conditions. Here, we assessed consistency and flexibility…

Rose JP, Kim R, Schoenig EJ et al. · PloS one · 2023-10 · open access
For endangered species persisting in a few populations, reintroductions to unoccupied habitat are a popular conservation action to increase viability in the long term. Identifying the reintroduction strategy that is most likely to result in viable founder and donor populations is essential to…

Lincoln JM, Barlowe ML, Rucker HR et al. · Frontiers in endocrinology · 2023-03 · open access
Sex steroid hormones are powerful regulators of reproductive behavior and physiology in vertebrates, and steroidogenesis has distinct sex- and season-specific patterns ultimately dictated by the expression of key enzymes. Most comparative endocrinology studies, however, focus only on circulating…
