CRISPR-Cas9 Gene Editing in Lizards through Microinjection of Unfertilized Oocytes
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: CRISPR-Cas9-mediated gene editing has enabled the direct manipulation of gene function in many species. However, the reproductive biology of reptiles presents unique barriers for the use of this technology, and there are no reptiles with ...

The Colour Changes In Lizards, Particularly In Phrynosoma [PDF]
, 1938 The activities of the melanophore system of Phrynosoma in comparison with that of Chamaeleo may be stated categorically in the following way. I. The blanching of Phrynosoma blainvillii is due (1) to the action of its concentrating nerve-fibres on ...

Environmental and geomorphological drivers of frog diversity on islands worldwide
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 4, April 2026.Island biogeography models primarily rely on island physical features and isolation to explain their biodiversity patterns. While newer models have incorporated functional traits to understand plant distribution, few empirical studies have tried to disentangle geometric constraints from niche‐based processes to predict multiple diversity facets of ...

NATURAL HISTORY OF LEIOCEPHALUS SEMILINEATUS IN ASSOCIATION WITH SYMPATRIC LEIOCEPHALUS SCHREIBERSII AND AMEIVA LINEOLATA [PDF]
, 2001 We examined diet, habitat use, and behavior (focal animal observations of intraspecific interactions, escape behavior, and activity period) of Leiocephalus semilineatus from near Puerto Alejandro, Provincia de Barahona, República Dominicana, and compared

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

Home-range size and overlap within an introduced population of the Cuban Knight Anole, Anolis equestris (Squamata: Iguanidae) [PDF]
Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2011 Home-range size and overlap within an introduced population of the Cuban Knight Anole, Anolis equestris (Squamata: Iguanidae). Many studies have investigated the spatial relationships of terrestrial lizards, but arboreal species remain poorly studied ...

Sexual dimorphism in bite performance drives morphological variation in chameleons [PDF]
, 2014 Phenotypic performance in different environments is central to understanding the evolutionary and ecological processes that drive adaptive divergence and, ultimately, speciation.

Island‐restricted reptiles are more threatened but less studied than their mainland counterparts
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.Reptiles are highly diverse on islands, yet there is no comprehensive overview of island‐restricted reptiles (IRRs) regarding their distribution, threat status, and research efforts. Our assessment revealed that despite IRRs comprising nearly a quarter of global reptile species and 30.8% being threatened, only 7.2% of the literature focuses on them ...

Diversification and Evolutionary Dynamics in Tropical Montane Regions
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Aim The evolution of montane species provides critical insights into the drivers of adaptation and diversification. Topographic complexity, a defining feature of many mountainous landscapes, promotes ecological and geographic isolation, often accelerating speciation rates.

Island time and the interplay between ecology and evolution in species diversification. [PDF]
, 2015 Research on the dynamics of biodiversity has progressed tremendously over recent years, although in two separate directions - ecological, to determine change over space at a given time, and evolutionary, to understand change over time.
