Timor monitors inhabit tropical forests and modified lands for agriculture with estimated breeding season between May and July. Reproductive characteristics and overall natural history of this species were observed more in captive populations than resulted from field observations. We report a part of the natural history of V. timorensis, which includes cannibalism of juveniles in wild populations on Sabu Island, Indonesia. Our current records of adult body sizes denote a range of mature females, some of which are likely to have reproduced. Body sizes of Timor monitors on Timor and Sabu suggest a seasonal mating of wild lizards that coincides with dry season and hatching of eggs during the wet season. Breeding for this species is likely to occur once every year. Nevertheless, currently there is no data available on female fecundity that may shed light into reproductive capacity and breeding strategy of Timor monitor across the distribution range in the Lesser Sunda Islands.","PeriodicalId":48693,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Herpetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48029487","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current hematology of snake from natural habitats of Thailand with morphological measurement is still rarely explored. In the present study, the extensive investigation on the morphometric analysis and characteristics of blood cells in the golden tree snake Chrysopelea ornata (Shaw, 1802) was examined and compared between sexes. Here we found that the majority of the squamate blood cells were erythrocyte in both sexes of this snake. It had the typical erythrocyte morphology showing eclipse shape with a central nucleus without significant difference between males and females. White blood cells (or leukocytes) in the snakes were a heterogeneous group with different nucleus shape and also shared a similar size between sexes. Interestingly, the length of thrombocytes was significantly different (P 0.05): longer in the male and shorter in the female snakes. From the blood smear technique, the heterogeneous group of the snake leukocyte included azurophil, heterophils neutrophil, basophil, lymphocyte, and monocyte without eosinophil. Remarkably, the highest proportion of the snake leukocyte was lymphocyte, followed by azurophils, and neutrophil. This proportion was similar in both sexes. The results from our hematological analysis could be provided as hematology-based health monitoring of the wild population for C. ornata in our land and other countries.","PeriodicalId":48693,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Herpetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46577950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to taxonomic changes in the generic position now the species is considered under the recently established genus Beduka. Although the terrestrial toad species are morphologically cryptic and difficult to identify them based on morphological characters alone the members of Beduka are exceptions due to clear body colour patterns and habitat specificity. Even though the species is well studied in terms of reproductive biology, call pattern and life history traits there is a lacuna in the understandings of its range of distribution, morphological and genetic variations due to limited field samples available in the museums and the genetic data availability in the GenBank. Based on the fresh collections around the type locality, here we report morphological variations across the different populations within the species. With the 16S rRNA generated in the study discussions are made on the genetic variations across its range of distribution utilizing the unpublished sequences available in the GenBank.","PeriodicalId":48693,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Herpetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49486933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The origin of this lizard, presumably, is associated with the importation of large-sized planting material. In addition, for the first time, reproduction of Red-eared Slider, Trachemys scripta elegans (Wied-Neuwied, 1839), in the nature was revealed near Sochi; the data from the moment of oviposition to the emergence of newborns from nesting chambers were collected. The size and color characteristics of T. scripta found in Sochi are described. Active resettlement allowed T. scripta to occupy the entire Imeretinskaya Lowland and the valley of the lower reaches of the Psou River. Monitoring of Podarcis siculus in the environs of Sochi indicates an increase in the range by almost eight times, with a modern habitat area of 200.6 ha. The high population density and a large number of young individuals clearly show the transition of the species from alien to invasive status. A new find in November 2021 of Mediterranean House Gecko, Hemidactylus turcicus (Linnaeus, 1758) indicates the strengthening of this exotic animal in the resort and a slight expansion of the range, about 1 km east of the initial record in Sochi. All of the listed species are, to varying degrees, synanthropic, what also contributes to their active distribution in the region.","PeriodicalId":48693,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Herpetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47845166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seven categories of larval deformities were recorded: scoliosis, kyphosis, shortened tail, rounded tip of the tail, bifurcated tip of the tail, opercular chamber defect, and edema. The occurrence of malformed tadpoles calculated from a sample size ranged from 3.3 to 13.6%. Water mineralization levels were fluctuated in the limits 37 – 330 mg/dm3, exceeding 100 mg/dm3 in three cases. There was no significant correlation between share of abnormal animals or abnormalities frequency and mineralization as well as with altitude. Mass occurrence of malformed tadpoles was revealed in two places: the Aglad Nadi (= Algar River, 10%, site 1, 687 m) and the town Purola (9.9 – 11.8%, sites 2 and 3, 1339 – 1349 m). Both places were associated with human activity: cattle grazing and residential agrolandscape, respectively. Enlarged rate of anomalies on the town territory may be explained by a synergy between complex of drivers (mineralization, fertilizers and pesticides) that can lead to amplification of general impact on larval morphogenesis. Thus, we reported the first record of mass larval abnormalities in amphibians for the Garhwal in particular and for the Himalaya in general. Formerly published data evidenced that another malformation hotspot of amphibians was situated at the Western Ghats, peninsular India.","PeriodicalId":48693,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Herpetology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45321609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
