A contribution to the nematode fauna of two agamid lizards from Afghanistan
Helminthologia, 2021 Information on the recent herpetological and related parasitological collections are very rarely available for Afghanistan. We examined two species of the family Agamidae, Laudakia nuristanica and Paralaudakia caucasia for the presence of the intestinal ...

Correlation of Morphology and Metabolism of Reproductive Traits in the Genus <i>Phrynocephalus</i> Around the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe explored the correlation of maternal morphology, metabolism, and reproductive traits in 10 Phrynocephalus lizards around the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau. We found that oviparous and viviparous lizards did not differ in their reproductive traits. Phrynocephalus lizards with greater snout‐vent length and higher standard metabolic rates tended to produce ...

Sexual dimorphism in Trapelus lessonae (De Filippi, 1865) (Sauria: Agamidae) from western Iranian Plateau [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2013 We collected 60 adult males and 85 adult females of Trapelus lessonae De Filippi, 1863 in early May 2008 from central Iranian plateau to study sexual dimorphism in morphological traits as well as female reproductive traits. Size-related sexual dimorphism

New records of Indian Garden Lizard, Calotes versicolor (Daudin, 1802) from Iran (Sauria: Agamidae) [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Animal Biosystematics, 2013 The Indian Garden lizard has been recorded as herpetofauna of Iran but the only existing records belong to far years before in which Balnford (1870) and Zarudny (1903) recorded 2-3 specimens in Sistan and Baluchestan province of Iran.

Seasonal Variation in the Thermoregulation Pattern of an Insular Agamid Lizard
Animals, 2023 Ectotherms, including lizards, rely on behavioral thermoregulation to maintain their body temperature within an optimal range. The benign climate of islands is expected to favor the thermoregulation efficiency of reptiles throughout their activity period.
