Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro‐CT
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Pulmonary development in tetrapods is a complex process, especially within squamates, where single‐chambered, transitional, and multi‐chambered lungs can be found in adult animals. While the embryological development of the respiratory system of lizards and snakes was studied in a number of species between the 1830s and 1940s, the ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of the four-lined snake, Elaphe quatuorlineata (Bonnaterre, 1790)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 Here, we present complete mitochondrial genome of the four-lined snake, Elaphe quatuorlineata (Bonnaterre, 1790) and its comparison with closely related E. sauromates (Pallas, 1814).

PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIPS AMONG WEST INDIAN XENODONTINE SNAKES (SERPENTES; COLUBRIDAE) WITH COMMENTS ON THE PHYLOGENY OF SOME MAINLAND XENODONTINES [PDF]
, 1999 The evolutionary relationships of the West Indian (W. I.) xenodontine snake assemblage has been considered as either monophyletic or paraphyletic. Allozyme data from protein electrophoresis were used to estimate the phylogeny of the W. I.

A Novel Multidisciplinary Approach for Reptile Movement and Behavior Analysis
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We present a novel multidisciplinary approach capable of advancing research on reptiles’ behavior. Our approach uses integrated tools and methods for the digitization, reconstruction, and visualization of reptiles and their behavior. We (i) record movement through tri‐axial accelerometers, video cameras, and motion capture systems; (ii) ground‐truth ...

An Overlooked Habitat‐Dependent Link Between Metabolism and Water Loss in Reptiles
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We measured the gas exchange of six lizard and six snake species, under high and low air humidity, and two intriguing patterns emerged. First, although desert species lose less water via evaporation than similar‐sized mesic species under similar conditions, water loss is virtually the same when each is exposed to its natural conditions.

Island‐restricted reptiles are more threatened but less studied than their mainland counterparts
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.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 ...
