About Hussam Zaher

Hussam Zaher, With an exceptional h-index of 43 and a recent h-index of 29 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Universidade de São Paulo, specializes in the field of Paleontology, Herpetology, evolution, biogeography, systematics.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Molecular phylogeny and biogeography of the dwarf boas of the family Tropidophiidae (Serpentes: Alethinophidia)

Comparative skull osteology of Amphisbaena arda and Amphisbaena vermicularis (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae)

First record of a neobatrachian frog (Lissamphibia: Neobatrachia) from the Eocene–Oligocene Aiuruoca Basin, Brazil

The first fossil record of an aquatic caecilian (Gymnophiona: Typhlonectidae)

Phylogenetic and morphological evidence reveals the association between diet and the evolution of the venom delivery system in Neotropical goo-eating snakes

Genomic evidence reveals intraspecific divergence of the hot‐spring snake (Thermophis baileyi), an endangered reptile endemic to the Qinghai‐Tibet plateau

The skull of Sanajeh indicus, a Cretaceous snake with an upper temporal bar, and the origin of ophidian wide-gaped feeding

A new fossil frog (Lissamphibia: Anura) from the Late Cretaceous of Brazil and the early evolution of neobatrachians
