DOI: 10.1016/j.jcz.2020.11.005
Abstract: Abstract Reproduction in snakes employs a wide range of mechanisms such as long-term sperm storage, mating aggregations and male–male combat. These varied mechanisms can be better understood when combined with the study of the ultrastructural… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.4924
Abstract: L-amino acid oxidases (LAAOs) are ubiquitous enzymes in nature. Bioactivities described for these enzymes include apoptosis induction, edema formation, induction or inhibition of platelet aggregation, as well as antiviral, antiparasite, and antibacterial actions. With over… read more here.
