Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2119-2133, October 2026.ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Biophysical processes of morphogenesis in lizard lungs
Developmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 9, Page 867-880, September 2026.Abstract Background The lungs of squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) are highly diverse, exhibiting single chambers, multiple chambers, transitional forms with two to three chambers, along with a suite of other anatomical features, including finger‐like epithelial projections into the body cavity known as diverticulae.

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.Body size changed differently between male and female sagebrush lizards over time, with females increasing more than males. Lizards also showed greater increases in body size in populations that experienced warmer and wetter climatic shifts. ABSTRACT Changes in body size are among the most frequently documented biological responses to recent climate ...

Knockdown of Hedgehog signaling pathway contributes to midline craniofacial development and facial elongation in the lizard Anolis sagrei [PDF]
, 2022 This project’s intention is to understand the role of Hedgehog signaling in craniofacial development in the lizard Anolis sagrei. There’s extensive research regarding craniofacial development of avian and mammalian species but there’s a gap in knowledge ...

Comparative evaluation of funnel, box, and camera traps for reptile and amphibian inventory
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 3, September 2026.We used data from 5 herpetological inventories conducted in Florida to evaluate the relative efficacy of funnel, box, and motion‐triggered camera traps for detecting reptile and amphibian species along drift‐fence arrays. Our results suggest that a hybrid array design (funnel traps + central camera trap) is best suited for general herpetofaunal ...

Intraspecific Hybridization Improves Performance of the Biological Control Agent Hypena opulenta
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Introduced species often undergo genetic drift and natural selection, which can reduce genetic diversity and drive differentiation among populations. Intraspecific hybridization, outcrossing among individuals from genetically distinct groups, may counteract these effects by increasing heterozygosity, potentially improving performance. However,

Cells, 2021 Sperm competition is a widespread phenomenon that shapes male reproductive success. Ejaculates present many potential targets for postcopulatory selection (e.g., sperm morphology, count, and velocity), which are often highly correlated and potentially ...
