Marine amniotes, a polyphyletic group, provide an excellent opportunity for studying
convergent evolution. Their sense of smell tends to degenerate, but this process has not …

Evolutionary shifts from one habitat type to another can clarify selective forces that affect life-
history attributes. Four lineages of snakes (acrochordids and three clades within the …

Speciation in the open ocean has long been studied, but it remains largely elusive what
factors promote or inhibit speciation in such an open environment. Marine amniotes, which …

Several mitogenomes of the genus Ganoderma have been assembled, but intraspecific
comparisons of mitogenomes in Ganoderma lingzhi have not been reported. In this study, 19 …

Welang and Weling snakes are types of snakes that have a similar physique and have
dangerous venom. Apart from that, there is the Banded Wolf Snake (Lycodon Subcinctus) …

Mitochondrial genomes of four elapid snakes (three marine species [Emydocephalus ijimae,
Hydrophis ornatus, and Hydrophis melanocephalus], and one terrestrial species …

Few convenient/expeditious methods for identifying the species of shed snake skins in
specific areas have been developed. The scales on shed snake skins are permeable to light …

 Abstract The complete sequence of the mitochondrial genome is a powerful tool for studying
phylogenetic relationships and molecular evolution in various species. In this work, the …

In this study, we provide the first report of the complete mitochondrial genome of
Emydocephalus ijimae. The mitogenome length is 18,259 bp and includes 13 protein …

Hydrophiine sea snakes represent ecologically significant and species-rich marine
predatory reptiles, many of which inhabit marine environments throughout their entire …
