During November-December 2020, a disease outbreak involving eastern mudsnakes ( Farancia abacura abacura ) was documented in the Greater Everglades Ecosystem, Florida, USA. Moribund snakes were observed writhing on riverbanks with concomitant frothy oral discharge. Pathological examination revealed…

- Polling the Public to Select Flagship Species for Tourism and Conservation-A 'Big Five' for the Peruvian Amazon?
Recharte M, Lee PC, Vick SJ et al. · Ecology and evolution · 2025-02 · open access
Flagship species are used to promote conservation and tourism. Africa's famous ' Big five ' have become marketing flagships that fundraisers and tourism promoters emulate globally. Species can be selected systematically for marketing using characteristics such as colour, size or behaviour, but this…
- How not to describe a species: lessons from a tangle of anacondas (Boidae: Eunectes Wagler, 1830)

- Description of the Northern Green Anaconda (Eunectes akayima sp. nov. Serpentes; Boidae): What Is in a Name?
Jesús A. Rivas, Juliana S. Terra, Marijn Roosen et al. · Diversity · 2024-07 · open access
While elucidating the evolutionary trajectory of green anacondas, we previously documented the existence of two distinct species, Eunectes akayima sp. nov. and Eunectes murinus (Linnaeus, 1758), that separated approximately 10 million years ago. Our research integrates a novel molecular clock…

- Nutritional value of meat from selected neotropical reptiles
Eden Natalia John, Kegan Romelle Jones · Emerging Animal Species · 2024-05 · open access
This is the second part of a two-part review. The first part focused on the nutritive value of meat and meat products of selected neo-tropical mammals with the potential for domestication. The objective of this current review was to investigate the nutritional qualities and carcass traits of…
- Does the Southern Green Anaconda, Eunectes murinus, seek areas of high prey concentration in southeastern Peru?
Patrick S. Champagne, Thomas B. Herman, Paul Rosolie et al. · Food Webs · 2024-04 · open access
Although behavior of E. murinus was broadly described over a century ago, observations of predation by E. murinus are rare. Some evidence suggests that it may target sites when hunting. We report details of six livestock depredation events at a single locality near Puerto Maldonado, Peru.…
- Nomenclatural problems raised by the recent description of a new anaconda species (Squamata, Serpentes, Boidae), with a nomenclatural review of the genus Eunectes

- Disentangling the Anacondas: Revealing a New Green Species and Rethinking Yellows
Jesús A. Rivas, Paola De la Quintana, Marco Mancuso et al. · Diversity · 2024-02 · open access
Anacondas, genus Eunectes, are a group of aquatic snakes with a wide distribution in South America. The taxonomic status of several species has been uncertain and/or controversial. Using genetic data from four recognized anaconda species across nine countries, this study investigates the…

- What determines demographic growth in green anacondas? Strong interactions among vertebrates in a neotropical ecosystem
Jesús A. Rivas, Will Jaremko-Wright · Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution · 2023-09 · open access
Introduction Trophic cascades can produce important effects on a community where some species may have strong effects on other parts of the community up, down the food chain, or both. Top predators are often controlled from the bottom-up by the abundance of their prey base while prey animals are…

- Assessing the sustainability of yellow anaconda (Eunectes notaeus) harvest.
Camera BF, Quintana I, Strüssmann C et al. · PloS one · 2023-01 · open access
Sustainable wildlife management is necessary to guarantee the viability of source populations; but it is rarely practiced in the tropics. The yellow anaconda (Eunectes notaeus) has long been harvested for its leather. Since 2002 its harvest has operated under a management program in northeastern…
