Behavioral fever in Bosk’s fringe-toed lizards (Acanthodactylus boskianus) living in an industrial area in south-eastern Tunisia

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2022
As an indicator of physiological state of lizards, thermoregulatory behavior has been proposed as an assessment tool of environmental contamination, particularly in desert ecosystems where lizards represent a major biological component. Although pesticide contamination has been shown to induce behavioral fever in lizards, the possible pyrogenic effect ...

Ultrastructural comparison between the tongue of two reptilian species endemic in Egyptian fauna; Bosc's fringe‐toed lizard Acanthodactylus boskianus and Sinai fan‐fingered gecko Ptyodactylus guttatus

Microscopy Research and Technique, 2021
The current observations focused on the ultrastructure comparison between the tongue of two reptile species endemic the Egyptian fauna; Bosc's fringe‐toed lizard Acanthodactylus boskianus and Sinai fan‐fingered gecko Ptyodactylus guttatus to exhibit the ...

Divergence of Scent Pheromones in Allopatric Populations of Acanthodactylus boskianus (Squamata: Lacertidae)

Zoological Science, 2013
The evolutionary phenomena associated with divergence in chemical signals between populations of the same species help to understand the process of speciation. Animals detect and react to semiochemicals and pheromones used in communication. Comparison between populations of the same species that are geographically isolated from one another allows us to

Decreased Cell-Mediated Immune Response in Bosk’s Fringe-Toed Lizards (Acanthodactylus boskianus) Inhabiting an Industrialized Area in Southern Tunisia

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2020
Lizards increasingly are recognized as suitable contaminant biomonitors in terrestrial ecosystems. Previously, we have shown that Bosk's fringe-toed lizards (Acanthodactylus boskianus) living close to the Gabès-Ghannouche industrial complex for fertilizer and acid production in southern Tunisia were contaminated by heavy metals.

Skin-derived semiochemicals of the lacertid lizard Acanthodactylus boskianus

Amphibia-Reptilia, 2016
Skin lipids impede transcutaneous water loss in several species of squamate reptiles and act as a barrier to harmful microorganisms; they play an additional role as chemical cues involved in chemical communication eliciting behavioral responses in intra- and interspecific interactions.

Tail conspicuousness and antipredatory behaviour in Bosk’s fringe-toed lizard (Acanthodactylus boskianus)

Ethology Ecology & Evolution, 2018
Many lizard species show ontogenetic changes in tail colour that are coupled with changes in the antipredatory strategy.

Home range and vagility of the lizards Acanthodactylus schmidti and Acanthodactylus boskianus in Saudi Arabia

Journal of Arid Environments, 1989
The home ranges of two congeneric desert lizard species (Acanthodactylus schmidti and Acanthodactylus boskianus) were studied near Riyadh over two seasons. Male lizards had larger home ranges than females and, in general, spring home ranges were greater than winter home ranges.

Seasonal metabolic compensation in the fringe-toed lizard, Acanthodactylus boskianus (Reptilia: Lacertidae)

Journal of Thermal Biology, 1996
Abstract 1. 1. The standard metabolic rate (SMR) of Acanthodactylus boskianus was determined at 20, 25, 30 and 35°C during winter and summer acclimatization, using constant pressure manometric respirometers. 2. 2. Values for the exponent b of body mass in relation to metabolic rate ranged from 0.50 to 0.63. 3. 3.

Reproduction in Bosk's Fringe-fingered Lizard, Acanthodactylus boskianus from Israel (Squamata: Lacertidae)

Zoology in the Middle East, 2013
Acanthodactylus boskianus are reproductively active in Israel from March to June. Mean clutch size was 3.2 ± 0.20, range 3–4. Males reach maturity at 50 mm snoutvent length, and females at 48 mm SVL respectively. The mean SVL of males was significantly larger than that of females. There was no evidence that females produce multiple clutches.
