- Integrating growth and survival models for flexible estimation of size-dependent survival in a cryptic, endangered snake.
Rose JP, Kim R, Schoenig EJ et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2022-04 · open access
Estimates of demographic rates for animal populations and individuals have many applications for ecological and conservation research. In many animals, survival is size-dependent, but estimating the form of the size-survival relationship presents challenges. For elusive species with low recapture…
- Role of Melatonin in Temperature-Induced Activation of the Neuroendocrine Reproductive Axis in Garter Snakes.
Winters TJ, Martin S, Anderson H et al. · Brain, behavior and evolution · 2022-03 · open access
- Temperature-induced multi-species cohort effects in sympatric snakes.
King RB · Ecology and evolution · 2022-02 · open access
In reptiles, reproductive maturity is often determined by size rather than age. Consequently, growth early in life may influence population dynamics through effects on generation time and survival to reproduction. Because reproductive phenology and pre- and post-natal growth are temperature…

- Staying warm is not always the norm: behavioural differences in thermoregulation of two snake species
Danilo Giacometti, Katharine T. Yagi, Curtis R. Abney et al. · Canadian Journal of Zoology · 2021-08 · open access
Thermal biology research compares field with laboratory data to elucidate the evolution of temperature-sensitive traits in ectotherms. The hidden challenge of many of these studies is discerning whether animals actively thermoregulate, since motivation is not typically assessed. By studying the…

- Bithynian snake bombs
Adrian Burton · Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment · 2021-04 · open access
184 BCE. Bithynia and Pergamon, two neighboring kingdoms in what is present-day Turkey, are at war. A naval battle is brewing, and the Bithynian fleet, led by Hannibal, is heavily outnumbered. But Hannibal has a plan: he has ordered his ships to focus their attack entirely on the vessel carrying…

- Current and time-lagged effects of climate on innate immunity in two sympatric snake species.
Combrink LL, Bronikowski AM, Miller DAW et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2021-02 · open access
Changing environments result in alterations at all levels of biological organization, from genetics to physiology to demography. The increasing frequency of droughts worldwide is associated with higher temperatures and reduced precipitation that can impact population persistence via effects on…
