2019 journal article
Structure of micrometazoan assemblages in the Larsemann Hills, Antarctica
POLAR BIOLOGY, 42(10), 1837–1848.
author keywords: Lichens; Mosses; Nematodes; Rotifers; Soils; Tardigrades
TL;DR:
The above scenario serves as a baseline for assessing increasing structural complexity of Antarctic terrestrial communities as the continent undergoes warming, accompanied by inevitable invasion by external species, including non-cryptobiotic taxa.

Paleoclimatology, paleogeography, and the evolution and distribution of sea kraits (Serpentes; Elapidae; Laticauda)
Herpetological Monographs, 31, 1–17.
TL;DR:
Two major factors—paleogeographic alteration of the configuration of land and sea, and the directions of sea currents, past and present—provide an explanation of how these amphibious snakes originated from a terrestrial Asian elapid ancestor and subsequently generated the venomous Australian land snakes and their derivatives the true sea snakes.

Why Are There No Sea Snakes in the Atlantic?
BIOSCIENCE, 68(1), 15–24.
author keywords: sea snakes; Atlantic; Coral Triangle; distribution; paleoclimate
TL;DR:
The Isthmus of Panama fully separated the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans before the speciation and dispersal of the sole pelagic species of sea snake to reach the Central American Pacific shoreline.

Anesthesia and Euthanasia of Amphibians and Reptiles Used in Scientific Research: Should Hypothermia and Freezing Be Prohibited?
BIOSCIENCE, 67(1), 52–60.
author keywords: euthanasia; freezing; amphibians; reptiles; animal ethics guidelines
TL;DR:
It is argued that whole-body cooling, followed by freezing, should be a humane form of euthanasia for numerous smaller ectothermic species and that cooling offers a humane and useful means of supplementing currently acceptable methods of anesthesia.

Physiological, ecological, and behavioural correlates of the size of the geographic ranges of sea kraits (Laticauda; Elapidae, Serpentes): A critique
JOURNAL OF SEA RESEARCH, 115, 18–25.
author keywords: Sea kraits; Distribution; Temperature; Salinity
TL;DR:
Re-assessment of the relationships of temperature and salinity as determinants of the size of the geographic ranges of sea kraits resolved the paradox of lack of correspondence of size of range with degree of terrestrialism, but did not form a definitive test of the theory.

Dehydration and drinking behavior in true sea snakes (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae: Hydrophiini)
JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, 296(4), 261–269.
author keywords: drinking behavior; dehydration; drought; water balance; sea snake; body water
TL;DR:
The dehydration and drinking responses of five species of hydrophiin sea snakes collected during the dry season in northern Australia illustrate that sea snakes are characterized by diverse responses to dehydration and likely have different osmoregulatory strategies for survival, with implications for better understanding the evolutionary success of secondarily marine vertebrates.

Pristine Wilderness to Crippled Ecosystems: A Foray Through More Than Half a Century of Herpetology
JOURNAL OF HERPETOLOGY, 49(3), 333–342.
TL;DR:
A prominent trend in herpetology has been a shift from basic biology to conservation in the face of environmental degradation and the need to preserve the biodiversity of amphibians and reptiles, and research has spanned that change in paradigm.

Point-diversity, a critical tool for assessing dynamics of guilds of scavenging ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): an example from a eucalypt woodland
SYSTEMATICS AND BIODIVERSITY, 11(2), 149–180.
author keywords: activity; ants; assemblages; biodiversity; community; dominance; foraging; niches; point diversity; scavengers
TL;DR:
Eurydielic species were most important in determining assemblage structure and species’ interactions and formicines had the greatest species richness but myrmicines and dolichoderines were more important ecologically.

Vicissitudes of leaves in a tropical rain forest in Madagascar
JOURNAL OF TROPICAL ECOLOGY, 25, 615–624.
author keywords: epiphyllae; folivory; fungi; galls; herbivory; insects; leaf miners; skeletonizers; vertical stratification
TL;DR:
The observed vertical stratification means that a tree not only needs to balance its defences to meet multiple threats in any stratum, but must adapt to a different suite of challenges during its lifetime.

Distribution of two species of sea snakes, Aipysurus laevis and Emydocephalus annulatus, in the southern Great Barrier Reef: metapopulation dynamics, marine protected areas and conservation
CORAL REEFS, 26(2), 291–307.
author keywords: classification tree; connectivity; marine protected area; metapopulation; sea snake
TL;DR:
The potential for inter-population exchange among sea snake populations is poorly understood, as is the degree of protection that will be afforded to sea snakes by the recently implemented network of No-take areas in the GBR.

Laterality in coiling behaviour of snakes: Another interpretation
LATERALITY, 12(6), 536–542.
MeSH headings : Agkistrodon / physiology; Animals; Behavior, Animal / physiology; Functional Laterality / physiology; Snakes / physiology
TL;DR:
The data from the combined studies suggest that if laterality in coiling direction does occur, it is extremely weak and inconsistent.

2005 review
Geographic variation in sea kraits of the Laticauda colubrina complex (Serpentes : Elapidae : Hydrophiinae : Laticaudini)
[Review of ]. HERPETOLOGICAL MONOGRAPHS, 19, 1–136.
author keywords: sea kraits; Laticauda; geographic variation; distribution; taxonomy; color pattern; dispersal
TL;DR:
The results confirmed the distinctiveness of the three original species and suggested that widely peripheral populations were more similar morphologically to each other than to more central ones, and alternative hypotheses accounting for this are discussed.

Ontogenetic changes in the resistance of bullfrogs (Rana catesbeiana) to the venom of copperheads (Agkistrodon contortrix contortrix) and cottonmouths (Agkistrodon piscivorus piscivorus)
COPEIA, (3), 808–814.
TL;DR:
A population of bullfrogs introduced into California early this century and isolated from copperheads and cottonmouths since that time still had equivalent resistances as did those snakes from within the geographic range of the snakes; the LD50 to the venoms had not changed significantly.

It is found that Gymnothorax moringa from the Caribbean, where no sea snakes occur, are sensitive to sea krait venom, with doses as low as 0.1 mg/kg proving to be lethal.
