Article Reference C source code Miscellanea Herpetologica Gabonica XXII
We present new Gabonese locality records for Kinixys erosa (Testudinidae), Trioceros camerunensis and T. oweni (Chamaeleonidae), Hemidactylus coalescens (Gekkonidae), Holaspis guentheri (Lacertidae), Mochlus striatus, Panaspis breviceps (Scincidae), Dipsadoboa weileri, Grayia ornata, Thelotornis kirtlandii, Thrasops flavigularis, Toxicodryas adamantea (Colubridae), Atractaspis corpulenta corpulenta, Boaedon virgatus, Bothrolycus ater, Hormonotus modestus, Lycophidion laterale, Mehelya stenophthalmus (Lamprophiidae) and Hydraethiops melanogaster (Natricidae). Four species are recorded for the first time from Ngounié Province, one from Estuaire Province, two from Moyen-Ogooué Province, one from Arboretum Raponda-Walker, and five for Crystal Mounts National Park. We report several new records of foraging heights in trees.

Article Reference Octet Stream Miscellanea Herpetologica Gabonica XX
We present new Gabonese locality records for Mecistops leptorhynchus, Osteolaemus tetraspis (Crocodylidae), Ichnotropis bivittata (Lacertidae), Lacertaspis reichenowii (Scincidae), Varanus ornatus (Varanidae), Dipsadoboa weileri, Grayia ornata (first record from Gabon of the striped form), Philothamnus hughesi, Thelotornis kirtlandii, Toxicodryas blandingii (Colubridae), Dendroaspis jamesoni jamesoni, Naja annulata (Elapidae), Bothrolycus ater, Hormonotus modestus, Mehelya poensis (Lamprophiidae), Prosymna ambigua (first documented record for Gabon) (Prosymnidae), Python sebae (Pythonidae), Bitis arietans and B. nasicornis (tenth reptile species recorded from a cave in Gabon) (Viperidae). One species is newly recorded from Loango National Park, three from Haut-Ogooué Province, and one from Nyanga Province. We report a fatal envenomation presumably due to Dendroaspis jamesoni jamesoni in Ogooué-Ivindo Province. We reject a record of Grayia ornata from Mount Kupe, Cameroon.

Article Reference Genomic history of early dogs in Europe
The earliest morphologically identifiable dogs are from Europe and date to at least 14,000 years ago1–5, although early remains are also found in other regions. The origin of early dogs in Europe, and their relationships to other dogs, has remained elusive in the absence of genome-wide data. Similarly, although dogs were the only domestic animal to predate agriculture, little is known about how the arrival of Neolithic farmers from Southwest Asia affected the dogs living with European Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. Here we analysed 216 canid remains, including 181 from Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Europe. We developed a genome-wide capture approach that enriched endogenous DNA by 10–100-fold and could distinguish dog from wolf ancestry for 141 of 216 remains. The oldest dog data that we recovered are from a 14,200-year-old dog from the Kesslerloch site in Switzerland, and we find that it shares ancestry with later worldwide dogs—inconsistent with the hypothesis that European Upper Palaeolithic dogs derived wholly from a separate domestication process. The Kesslerloch dog already displays more affinity to Mesolithic, Neolithic and present-day European dogs than to Asian dogs, demonstrating that dog genetic diversification had started well before 14,200 years ago. We find a Neolithic influx of Southwest Asian ancestry into Europe, but this seems to have been of smaller magnitude than in humans, suggesting that Mesolithic dogs contributed substantially to Neolithic, and, ultimately, probably also modern, European dogs.

Article Reference Gekko (Gekko) , a new dark-colored tokay gecko from the Thai-Malay border (Squamata, Gekkonidae)
We describe Gekko dam sp. nov. based on type specimens from a limestone hill in Palian District, Trang Province, southern peninsular Thailand. The new species is also found in Satun Province, southern peninsular Thailand, and in Perlis State, northwestern Peninsular Malaysia. A member of the subgenus Gekko, it differs from all currently recognized Gekko species by the following combination of morphological characters and pattern: maximal known snout-vent length of 149.1 mm, lack of contact between nostrils and rostral, 21–24 interorbital scales between supraciliaries, 72–83 scale rows around midbody, 12–14 dorsal tubercle rows at midbody, 26–28 ventral scale rows at midbody, 22 precloacal pores in males, two postcloacal tubercles on each side of the base of the tail, 14–17 subdigital lamellae on 1st toe and 19–21 on 4th toe, a Y-shaped mark on head, white spots on head, dark grey to black dorsal background with four regular bands of contrasting white spots on dorsum between limb insertions, throat and venter white with orange patches, and a copper iris.
