Abstract:

The suborder Serpentes is divided into 2 infraorders, Scolecophidia and Alethinophidia, which diverged at an early stage of snake diversification. In this study, we examined karyotypes of 4 scolecophidian species (Letheobia simonii, Xerotyphlops vermicularis, Indotyphlops braminus, and Myriopholis macrorhyncha) and performed FISH with 18S-28S rDNA as well as microchromosomal and Z chromosome-linked genes of Elaphe quadrivirgata (Alethinophidia) to investigate the karyotype evolution in the scolecophidian lineage. Diploid chromosome numbers of X. vermicularis and L. simonii were 30 (16 macrochr

We report herein the fossil record of snakes recovered from one late Eocene (Priabonian) and two early Oligocene (Rupelian) localities from western Romania. The only late Eocene fossil vertebrate site with snake content is Treznea, which yielded a small sized booid snake assigned to Ungaliophiidae indet.

Abstract:

Recent advances in the phylogenetic relationships of snakes using both molecular and morphological data have generally demonstrated a close relationship between boas and pythons but also induced nomenclatural changes that rob the least inclusive clade to which both belong of a name. This name would be tremendously useful, because it is the least inclusive group to which a large number of fossil boa-like or python-like taxa can be assigned. Accordingly, an update of higher-level nomenclature is desirable. We herein provide an overview of all the names that have historically been applied to boas

Abstract:

Mitochondrial genomes of four elapid snakes (three marine species [Emydocephalus ijimae, Hydrophis ornatus, and Hydrophis melanocephalus], and one terrestrial species [Sinomicrurus japonicus]) were completely sequenced by a combination of Sanger sequencing, next-generation sequencing and Nanopore sequencing. Nanopore sequencing was especially effective in accurately reading through long tandem repeats in these genomes. This led us to show that major noncoding regions in the mitochondrial genomes of those three sea snakes contain considerably long tandem duplications, unlike the mitochondrial g

Abstract:

Background Squamata (lizards, snakes, and amphisbaenians) is a Triassic lineage with an extensive and complex biogeographic history, yet no large-scale study has reconstructed the ancestral range of early squamate lineages. The fossil record indicates a broadly Pangaean distribution by the end- Cretaceous, though many lineages (e.g., Paramacellodidae, Mosasauria, Polyglyphanodontia) subsequently went extinct. Thus, the origin and occupancy of extant radiations is unclear and may have been localized within Pangaea to specific plates, with potential regionalization to distinct Laurasian and Gond

Abstract:

The anatomy of Pachyrhachis problematicus , an elongate, limb–reduced squamate from the Upper Cretaceous of Israel, is described and evaluated in detail. Previously considered a snake–like ‘lizard’ of uncertain affinities, it is here shown to be the most primitive snake, and the sister–group to all other snakes. Pachyrhachis exhibits numerous derived characters uniting it with modern snakes (scolecophidians and alethinophidians): e.g. mobile premaxilla–maxilla articulation, braincase enclosed by frontals and parietals, sagittal parietal crest, absence of tympanic recess, single postdentary bon

Evolutionary analysis of the pelvic and limb data shows that the most recent common ancestor of all living snakes (Serpentes) most probably retained all three pelvic elements and rudimentary hindlimbs (femoral spurs).

Molecular data support the eastern Indonesian fangless endemic genus Brachyorrhos as the sister to the rear-fang clade.
