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

open access: yesZoological 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

New compounds, sexual differences, and age-related variations in the femoral gland secretions of the lacertid lizard Acanthodactylus boskianus

open access: yesBiochemical Systematics and Ecology, 2011
Abstract Integumental gland secretions in lizards have been postulated to play a role as semiochemicals, but few studies have analysed the chemical nature of the gland secretions used in communication. We analysed the femoral gland secretions of Acanthodactylus boskianus using GC–MS, compared secretions of both sexes and different ages of males.

Advances in Science, Technology and Innovation, 2018
Environmental pollution can have significant detrimental effects on animal populations (Hughes et al. in Science, 278:689–6923, 1997). Anthropogenic pressures have been increasing in the past decades in Gabes region, due to the installation of the Gabes-Ghannouche factory complex of phosphate treatment for fertilizer and acid production in the early ...

Scent marking pheromones in lizards: cholesterol and long chain alcohols elicit avoidance and aggression in male Acanthodactylus boskianus (Squamata: Lacertidae)

Chemoecology, 2011
Femoral gland secretions are believed to play an important role in chemical communication and social organization of lizards. In spite of this, few studies have investigated the chemical composition and the behavioural roles of these secretions. The lacertid lizard Acanthodactylus boskianus is a good example, having these well-developed glands in both ...

A redescription of Haemogregarina damiettae Ramadan et al. 1996 naturally infecting the Acanthodactylus boskianus from Egypt, with new merognic data

Parasitology Research, 2013
Haemogregarina damiettae was previously described form Acanthodactylus boskianus in Egypt, and the description was base only on the blood stages with no data on the tissue stages. In the present study, both blood and tissue stages were encountered. The prevalence of infection was found to be 60 % (30/50).

Morphological characteristics of a new species of Haemogregarina Danilewsky, 1885 (Apicomplexa: Adeleorina) in naturally infected Acanthodactylus boskianus (Daudin) (Sauria: Lacertidae) in Egypt

Systematic Parasitology, 2012
This paper describes the morphological characteristics of a new species of Haemogregarina Danilewsky, 1885, from naturally infected Acanthodactylus boskianus (Daudin) in Egypt, based on both blood and tissue stages. The prevalence of infection was found to be 66% (33/50).
