Chinese coral snakes (Sinomicrurus) are highly neglected regarding their venom profiles and harm to humans, which impedes our ability deeply understand biological properties explore medicinal potential. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis reveal the of two in terms yields, proteomic profiles, immunorecognition by commercial antivenoms. The results showed that Sinomicrurus kelloggi expels more (lyophilized mass) than maccelellandi but possesses similar solid content. These...
We maintained pregnant Sphenomorphus indicus under four thermal conditions for the whole gestation period to assess effects of temperature on offspring phenotypes. Parturition occurred between late June and early August, with females at high body temperatures giving birth earlier than those low temperatures. Litter size, litter mass, postpartum mass did not differ among treatments, relatively higher fecundity produced smaller offspring. Females gave predominantly female (85.7% 14 sexed were...
Most studies on egg incubation in reptiles have relied constant temperature the laboratory rather than simulations of thermal regimes natural nests. The effects embryos constant-temperature often do not realistically reflect what occurs nature. Recent increasingly recognized importance simulating nest temperatures applying regimes. We incubated Bungarus multicintus eggs under three and one fluctuating-temperature to evaluate versus fluctuating hatching success hatchling phenotypes. Hatching...
The aim of this study was to effectively improve the water resistance a defatted soybean flour (DSF)-based adhesive by subjecting DSF thermo-chemical treatment in presence sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and then crosslinking with epichlorohydrin-modified polyamide (EMPA). effect on structures properties DSF-based were investigated plywood evaluation, boiling-water-insoluble content, acetaldehyde value measurements, as well FTIR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic (XPS), diffraction...
We kept 48 gravid short-tailed pit vipers (Gloydius brevicaudus) under four laboratory thermal conditions during gestation and collected 10 females from the field soon before they gave birth to test whether Shine's (1995) maternal manipulation hypothesis applies temperate reptiles. Females thermoregulated more precisely but did not shift their selected body temperatures pregnancy, with at high giving early in breeding season. The lowest (22 degrees C) highest (32 temperature treatments...
Abstract We studied sexual dimorphism and female reproduction in two sympatric species of toad-headed lizards, Phrynocephalus frontalis P. versicolor, from Inner Mongolia, North China. The smallest reproductive females versicolor we recorded were 43.5 mm 44.2 SVL, respectively. Females the larger sex whereas male adults did not differ mean SVL. on average smaller than so males frontalis. In both abdomen length (AL) but head (HL), width (HW) tail (TL); HL TL AL HW same size. laid a single...
The vulnerable Chinese cobra (Naja atra) ranges from southeastern China south of the Yangtze River to northern Vietnam and Laos. Large mountain water bodies may influence pattern genetic diversity this species. We sequenced mitochondrial DNA control region (1029 bp) using 285 individuals collected 23 localities across species' range obtained 18 sequences unique Taiwan GenBank for phylogenetic population analysis. Two distinct clades were identified, one including haplotypes two westernmost...
We collected gravid king ratsnakes (Elaphe carinata) from three geographically separated populations in Chenzhou (CZ), Lishui (LS) and Dinghai (DH) of China to study the geographical variation female reproductive traits trade-offs between size number eggs. Not all varied among populations. Of examined, five (egg-laying date, post-oviposition body mass, clutch size, egg mass width) differed The egg-laying ranging late June early August, a continuous trend, with females at most northern...
Abstract Background A comprehensive evaluation of the -omic profiles venom is important for understanding potential function and evolution snake venom. Here, we conducted an integrated multi-omics-analysis to unveil venom-transcriptomic venomic in a same group spine-bellied sea snakes ( Hydrophis curtus ) from South China Sea, where widespread species might generate regionally-specific potentially harmful human activities. The capacity two heterologous antivenoms immunocapture H. was...
Numerous studies have demonstrated that multiple intrinsic and extrinsic factors shape the structure composition of gut microbiota in a host. The disorder may trigger various host diseases. Here, we collected fecal samples from wild-caught Japanese geckos (Gekko japonicus) captive conspecifics fed with mealworms (mealworm-fed geckos) fruit flies (fly-fed geckos), aiming to examine dietary sexual correlates microbiota. We used 16S rRNA gene sequencing technology determine dominant phyla mean...
Abstract We used the Chinese skink Eumeces chinensis as a model animal to study effects of tail loss on reproductive investment and offspring traits. A total 147 wild-captured adult females were divided into four groups according their conditions. Tail breaks occurred most frequently in proximal portion least distal portion, with middle between. This finding suggests that occurring nature often entails substantial energetic costs E. where is major site energy storage. The proportion laid...
Monitor lizards (Varanidae) inhabit both the mainland and islands of all geological types have diversified into an exceptionally wide range body sizes, thus providing ideal model for examining role versus island in driving species evolution. Here we use phylogenetic comparative methods to examine whether a link exists between size-driven diversification size-frequency distributions varanid test hypothesis that differ from evolutionary processes, size, life-history traits (offspring number...
Given that the venom system in sea snakes has a role enhancing their secondary adaption to marine environment, it follows elucidating diversity and function of toxins will help understand adaptive radiation snakes. We performed proteomic de novo NGS analyses explore annulated snake (Hydrophis cyanocinctus) estimated molecular evolution toxin-coding unigenes toxicity major components. found three-finger (3-FTxs), phospholipase A2 (PLA2) cysteine-rich secretory protein (CRISP) proteome 59...
