Dervas E, Michalopoulou E, Hepojoki J et al. · Developmental and comparative immunology · 2024-12 · open access
Knowledge on the structure and composition of the haematopoietic tissue (HT) is essential to understand the basic immune functions of the immune system in any species. For reptiles, it is extremely limited, hence we undertook an in-depth in situ investigation of the HT (bone marrow, thymus, spleen,…

- Predation of Boa constrictor (Squamata: Boidae) by Cerdocyon thous (Carnivora: Canidae) in a Caatinga biome region in the state of Piauí, northeastern Brazil
Márcio Luiz Vargas Barbosa-Filho, Rachel Ann Hauser‐Davis, Salvatore J. Siciliano · Mammalogy Notes · 2024-05 · open access
This study reports the predation on an adult common boa Boa constrictor specimen by the crab- eating fox Cerdocyon thous in the Caatinga Biome, a semi-arid Brazilian region. Such interactions represent cases of risk-sensitive predation, given the real possibility of crab-eating foxes being injured…

Gonzalez RC, Bezerra de Lima LC, Passos P et al. · PloS one · 2024-04 · open access
Introduction The constrictor snakes popularly referred to as boas are very well known both for science and for the general public since it is a common pet and also largely used in the leather and cinematographic industries. Members of the genus Boa Linnaeus, 1758 are remarkably generalists with…

The global decline in biodiversity is a matter of great concern for members of the class Reptilia. Reptarenaviruses infect snakes, and have been linked to various clinical conditions, such as Boid Inclusion Body Disease (BIBD) in snakes belonging to the families Boidae and Pythonidae. However,…

Renata Leite Pitman, Patrick Champagne, Evandro Ferreira · Mammalogy Notes · 2023-09 · open access
Literature on the predation ecology of Amazonian canids is scarce, especially for the two rarely observed canids; Speothos venaticus (Bush Dog) and Atelocynus microtis (Short-eared Dog). Between 2000 and 2005 we documented one observation of predation of a A. microtis from southeastern Peru and an…
