Rapid postfire color shift in a Mediterranean lizard

Journal of Zoology, Volume 328, Issue 3, Page 248-255, March 2026.
We quantified dorsal luminosity and color composition of Psammodromus algirus in burned and adjacent unburned habitats at different times since fire. Lizards inhabiting recently burned areas displayed lighter dorsal coloration, particularly during the early stages of postfire succession, with the effect being more pronounced in larger individuals ...

Ecology and co-existence of two endemic day gecko (Phelsuma) species in Seychelles native palm forest [PDF]

, 2011
In island ecosystems, reptiles play diverse ecological roles as a result of niche broadening, which increases potential niche overlap between species. Ecological niche partitioning is a means of reducing direct competition between coexisting species and ...

Evolutionary lability in Hox cluster structure and gene expression in Anolis lizards

Evolution Letters, 2019
Hox genes orchestrate development by patterning the embryonic axis. Vertebrate Hox genes are arranged in four compact clusters, and the spacing between genes is assumed to be crucial for their function. The genomes of squamate reptiles are unusually rich

What Drives Variation in Habitat Use by Anolis Lizards: Habitat Availability or Selectivity? [PDF]

, 2006
Geographic variation in habitat availability may drive geographic variation in a species' habitat use; alternatively, species adapted to particular habitat characteristics may use a habitat regardless of its availability within an environment.

Pulmonary infection in two sympatric lizards, Mabuya arajara (Scincidae) and Anolis brasiliensis (Polychrotidae) from a cloud forest in Chapada do Araripe, Ceará, Northeastern Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The parameters of infection by lung parasites from two sympatric lizards, Mabuya arajara and Anolis brasiliensis, from the Atlantic Rainforest of the lower slope of Chapada do Araripe in Northeastern Brazil were analyzed between September, 2009 and July,

Do the relationships between hindlimb anatomy and sprint speed variation differ between sexes in Anolis lizards? [PDF]

, 2019
The ability of an animal to run fast has important consequences on its survival capacity and overall fitness. Previous studies have documented how variation in the morphology of the limbs is related to variation in locomotor performance.

Morpho-functional characterization of the systemic venous pole of the reptile heart

Scientific Reports, 2017
Mammals evolved from reptile-like ancestors, and while the mammalian heart is driven by a distinct sinus node, a sinus node is not apparent in reptiles. We characterized the myocardial systemic venous pole, the sinus venosus, in reptiles to identify the ...
