phylogenetic relationships of terrestrial australo-papuan elapid snakes (subfamily hydrophiinae) based on cytochrome b and 16s rrna sequences. | phylogenetic relationships among the venomous australo-papuan elapid snake radiation remain poorly resolved, despite the application of diverse data sets. to examine phylogenetic relationships among this enigmatic group, portions of the cytochrome b and 16s rrna mitochondrial dna genes were sequenced from 19 of the 20 terrestrial australian genera and 6 of the 7 terrestrial melanesian genera, plus a sea krait (laticauda) and a true sea snake (hydrelaps). these data clarify several significant is ... | 1998 | 9751918 |
response of a reptile guild to forest harvesting. | despite the growing concern over reptile population declines, the effects of modern industrial silviculture on reptiles have been understudied, particularly for diminutive and often overlooked species such as small-bodied snakes. we created 4 replicated forest-management landscapes to determine the response of small snakes to forest harvesting in the coastal plain of the southeastern united states. we divided the replicated landscapes into 4 treatments that represented a range of disturbed habit ... | 2008 | 18477031 |
