Taxonomic diversity of the genus Pseudotrapelus (Agamidae; Sauria) and biogeography of Afro-Arabia [PDF]
A new species of Pseudotrapelus from Dhofar, Oman is described. It differs morphologically from P. sinaitus in that its 3rd toe is much longer than its 4th one (11–13 lamellae under the 4th toe), from P. aqabensis and P. neumanni in that it has one row of 6 – 8 unseparated precloacal pores in males. This new species also has 15% genetic divergence from

How Foraging Mode Sculpts Sensory Systems: Morphological Evidence From DiceCT and Histology in Sympatric Lizards. [PDF]
The relationship between foraging modes and sensory system morphology is critical for understanding the ecological and evolutionary adaptations of lizards. This study investigates the nasal olfactory system (NOS) and vomeronasal system (VNS) of four sympatric lizards from the Turpan Basin, China, which exhibit distinct foraging strategies.
