Grasslands have been subject to a significant loss of area and species diversity worldwide. The spread invasive alien plant further exacerbates the degradation these ecosystems. Reptile populations are particularly affected by changes caused plants. Pannonic sand steppe grasslands characteristic communities Central Europe, but their extent is shrinking rapidly. These provide habitat for numerous grassland specialists such as Balkan wall lizard ( Podarcis tauricus ). Over last few years, new...

Snakeborne Armillifer pentastomiasis is an emerging human parasitic infection in rural tropical areas where snake meat eaten. After a series of severe ocular A. grandis larval infections and anecdotal abdominal Sankuru District, Democratic Republic the Congo, during 2014-2015, we systematically investigated possible pentastomid etiology patients who underwent surgery region. Histologic molecular analyses by established 18S rDNA- newly developed Armillifer-specific cytochrome oxidase PCRs...

Abstract A study of 353 museum specimens the Echis coloratus complex from its entire range distribution revealed an undescribed species in United Arab Emirates and northern Oman. The results UPGMA clustering principal coordinate analysis 138 male 142 female yielded for both sexes two major clusters, one with UAE Oman southern western Arabia, Levant Egypt. new has a longer tail higher subcaudal counts; lower prenasal scale is often missing upper frequently fused nasal; subnasal or nasal....

Abstract Geographic variation of morphological characters was studied in the Levantine populations Echis coloratus complex. Multivariate analyses showed that within Levant northern and southern differ overall morphology. The exact nature contact zone between two groups is unclear. difference may be result separate phylogenetic history or different selective regimes ecologically biogeographic regions. samples from continental Egypt resemble type locality E. s.l., therefore these are assigned...

Abstract Variation in the primarily East African snake genus Micrelaps (Atractaspididae) was investigated southern Levant (mainly Israel) from museum specimens and some photographs. The fossorial M. muelleri Boettger, 1880, hitherto considered rare, inhabits mesic Mediterranean zone (n=82). Its usual colour pattern is a variable number of black yellow rings but two rare longitudinally striped morphs also occur. Sexual dimorphism, unknown, affects pholidosis, proportions pattern. A new...

Semi-natural environments within cities can provide habitats for vulnerable reptile species. Better understanding of their habitat use and home range sizes is important conservation. We investigated the spatial ecology Caspian whipsnakes (Dolicophis caspius) in a peri-urban Budapest, Hungary. used radiotelemetry to track five adult snakes analyzed microhabitat preferences, daily movements. The intensively utilized areas covered with woody vegetation, high density hibernacula. tracked an area...
