Niche modeling for the genus Pogona (Squamata: Agamidae) in Australia: predicting past (late Quaternary) and future (2070) areas of suitable habitat [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Background As the climate warms, many species of reptiles are at risk of habitat loss and ultimately extinction. Locations of suitable habitat in the past, present, and future were modeled for several lizard species using MaxEnt, incorporating climatic ...

Osteology, fossil record and palaeodiversity of the European lizards [PDF]
, 2017 he capability of palaeontologists to identify fossil remains of a particular group of vertebrates strongly depends on the knowledge they have of its comparative osteology and on the actual presence of diagnostic differences among the considered taxa ...

Assessment of a Social Media‐Based Method for Determining Raptor Diet
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.This study mined social media as a citizen science method to reduce the time burden and biases associated with recording accurate diet information for predators. In total, 1985 prey observations were recorded of two Australian coastal raptors and were used to produce diet profiles that were compared by region, social media platform, and against other ...

Taxonomic status of Coryphophylax maximiliani Fitzinger in: Steindachner, 1867 with notes on Coryphophylax subcristatus (Blyth, “1860” 1861) [PDF]
PeerJThe insular agamid genus Coryphophylax Fitzinger in Steindachner, 1867, is endemic to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal, India. These diurnal lizards are currently represented by two putative species, Coryphophylax subcristatus (Blyth,

The functional significance of aposematic signals: geographic variation in the responses of widespread lizard predators to colourful invertebrate prey. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Conspicuous colouration can evolve as a primary defence mechanism that advertises unprofitability and discourages predatory attacks. Geographic overlap is a primary determinant of whether individual predators encounter, and thus learn to avoid, such ...

Cenozoic aridization in Central Eurasia shaped diversification of toad-headed agamas (Phrynocephalus; Agamidae, Reptilia) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 We hypothesize the phylogenetic relationships of the agamid genus Phrynocephalus to assess how past environmental changes shaped the evolutionary and biogeographic history of these lizards and especially the impact of paleogeography and climatic factors.
