A reliance on human habitats is key to the success of an introduced predatory reptile

Tom Major, Lauren Jeffrey, Guillem Limia Russel…·Wolfgang Wüster

The study shows that male Aesculapian snakes prefer buildings while females prefer woodland, highlighting the role of human habitats in their success as an introduced ectothermic predator.

High standing diversity masks extreme genetic erosion in a declining snake.

Andrea Vittorio Pozzi, John Benjamin Owens, Bálint Üveges…·Axel Barlow

The paper shows that high average heterozygosity in adders may mask severe genetic erosion due to recent bottlenecks, suggesting whole-genome sequencing is better for assessing genetic risk.
