Extensive research has been conducted on their venoms, covering toxin composition, biochemistry, function, pathology and biodiscovery. However, these studies are widely dispersed across the scientific literature, almost exclusively focus on biochemistry and drug discovery aspects, and largely neglect the zoological and systematic context of these snakes. Here, we provide a comprehensive, transdisciplinary compilation of what is known about the biology, taxonomy and toxinology of blunt-nosed vipers. After contextualising the three generally recognised Macrovipera species (Macrovipera lebetina, Macrovipera razii and Macrovipera schweizeri) within their zoological and taxonomic framework, we compile the venom proteomes available in the literature and identify general compositional patterns across the genus. We then report on the known biological activities of Macrovipera venoms and discuss their clinical and pharmacological potential. Furthermore, we detail the mainly haemorrhagic, coagulopathic and cytotoxic pathophysiological effects of blunt-nosed viper envenoming, and provide recommendations for the clinical management of Macrovipera bites. Finally, we propose future research directions, advocating for expanded research on these venoms to enhance our understanding and drive further innovation in both therapeutic applications and the treatment of bites inflicted by these remarkable snakes.</p>","PeriodicalId":520249,"journal":{"name":"npj biodiversity","volume":"4 1","pages":"21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12134271/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144218471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used high-throughput tracking technology to explore the movement patterns of a social desert passerine bird (the Arabian babbler-Argya quadriceps, Leiothrichidae) in a mosaic of human-modified and semi-natural habitats. From late summer to early winter, as natural food and water resources increase, we tracked 21 individuals representing 10 groups. Toward winter, groups spent less time within villages, had smaller home ranges, and were less territorial. In general, birds showed a preference for spending time in the vegetated semi-natural habitat. We further found that even a small section of uncultivated agricultural land (~2 km stretch of mostly bare dirt) can act as a movement barrier for babblers.
