Abstract:
Eusocial insects can express surprisingly complex cooperative defence of the colony. Brood and reproductive castes typically remain in the nest and are protected by workers' various antipredator tactics against intruders. In Madagascar, a myrmicine ant, Aphaenogaster swammerdami , occurs sympatrically with a large blindsnake, Madatyphlops decorsei . As blindsnakes generally specialize on feeding on termites and ants brood by intruding into the nest, these snakes are presumably a serious predator on the ant. Conversely, a lamprophiid snake, Madagascarophis colubrinus , is considered to occur of

Abstract:
Worm-like snakes (scolecophidians) are small, burrowing species with reduced vision. Although largely neglected in vertebrate research, knowledge of their biogeographical history is crucial for evaluating hypotheses of snake origins. We constructed a molecular dataset for scolecophidians with detailed sampling within the largest family, Typhlopidae (blindsnakes). Our results demonstrate that scolecophidians have had a long Gondwanan history, and that their initial diversification followed a vicariant event: the separation of East and West Gondwana approximately 150 Ma. We find that the earlies

Abstract:
We report the second known museum specimen of Typhlops tycherus, a blindsnake endemic to Honduras. This new specimen is from a locality about 240 km from the species’ type locality, thus documenting that T. tycherus has a broader geographical distribution than previously thought.

Abstract:
In this study we report on two new records of the blindsnake Typhlops brongersmianus for the municipality of Bauru, midwestern region of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. These records expand the geographic distribution currently known for this species in the state and contribute to the knowledge of snakes in southeastern Brazil.

Abstract:
Blindsnakes (Typhlopidae) represent one of the least known elements of the Australian herpetofauna. Mitochondrial DNA sequence data and morphology are used here to show that a widespread species of Australian blindsnake, Ramphotyphlops australis, comprises two distinct species. Ramphotyphlops bicolor (new combination) is resurrected from synonymy with R. australis and redescriptions are provided for both species. Mitochondrial DNA sequence variation within R. australis indicates that the central and south-coast populations are more closely related to each other than either is to the morphologi
