Obligatory parthenogenesis in vertebrates is restricted to squamate reptiles and evolved through hybridisation. Parthenogens can hybridise with sexual species, resulting in individuals with increased ploidy levels. We describe two successive hybridisations of the parthenogenetic butterfly lizards (genus Leiolepis) in Vietnam with a parental sexual species.

Methods: We conducted a national survey of pediatric residency programs regarding their remediation experiences identifying struggling residents, documentating the process, and monitoring progress during remediation.
Advanced molecular probes are required to study the functional activity of the Kv1.2 potassium channel in normal and pathological conditions. To address this, a fully active Kv1.

- - Homalopsids, or Old World Mud Snakes, consist of 59 semiaquatic species across Asia and Australasia, showcasing various adaptations that make them important for evolutionary biology research.
- - Recent studies have doubled the recognized diversity of rice paddy snakes (Hypsiscopus), particularly revealing distinct lineages on either side of the Red River Basin in Vietnam, indicating a significant biogeographic barrier.
- - The study identified that populations west of the Red River Basin are a separate species called H. murphyi, while those to the east are linked to H. wettsteini, demonstrating the need for advanced methods in taxonomy to understand species evolution and distribution.
