Methods of Body Temperature Assessment in Conolophus subcristatus, Conolophus Pallidus (Galápagos Land Iguanas), and Amblyrhynchus cristatus X C. Subcristatus Hybrid [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Since cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic systems of reptiles are affected by temperature, accurate measurements are of great importance in both captive husbandry and research.

Chemical Signatures of Femoral Pore Secretions in Two Syntopic but Reproductively Isolated Species of Galápagos Land Iguanas (Conolophus Marthae and C. Subcristatus) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractThe only known population of Conolophus marthae (Reptilia, Iguanidae) and a population of C. subcristatus are syntopic on Wolf Volcano (Isabela Island, Galápagos). No gene flow occurs suggesting that effective reproductive isolating mechanisms exist between these two species. Chemical signature of femoral pore secretions is important for intra-

BioMed Research International, 2022 We report the first data on 25‐hydroxyvitamin D plasma levels in natural populations of three species of land iguana endemic to the Galápagos Islands (Conolophus marthae, C. subcristatus, and C. pallidus). The pigment is present throughout the whole body in the skin of C. subcristatus and C. pallidus. On the contrary, pigment is not present in the skin

Molecular Data Exclude Current Hybridization Between Iguanas Conolophus Marthae and C. Subcristatus on Wolf Volcano (Galápagos Islands) [PDF]
Conservation Genetics, 2018 Natural hybridization may influence population fitness and responsiveness to natural selection, in particular in oceanic island systems. In previous studies, interspecific hybridization was detected between the Galapagos iguana species Amblyrhynchus cristatus and Conolophus subcristatus.

Field Observations of Cooling Rates of Galapagos Land Iguanas (Conolophus subcristatus)
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A, Physiology, 1978 Abstract 1. 1. Cooling constants and thermal conductances are calculated from the rates of cooling of three Conolophus subcristatus , the Galapagos land iguana. 2. 2. The observed conductances are lower than those of comparably large lizards including the Galapagos marine iguana, Amblyrhynchus cristatus .

Galapagos land iguanas as ecosystem engineers [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Declines of large-bodied herbivorous reptiles are well documented, but the consequences for ecosystem function are not. Understanding how large-bodied herbivorous reptiles engineer ecosystems is relevant given the current interest in ...

Galápagos land iguana (Conolophus subcristatus) as a seed disperser [PDF]
Integrative Zoology, 2016 AbstractThe role of the most common land iguana (Conolophus subcristatus) in the Galápagos Islands as an effective seed disperser is explored in this study. A total of 5705 seeds of 32 plant species were identified from 160 scats, 4545 of which (80%) appeared visually undamaged.
