Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro‐CT
Developmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 6, Page 602-615, June 2026.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 ...

Retention of the Full Visual Opsin Repertoire in Some Australian Cryptozoic Lizards
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.This study investigates the link between visual evolution and fossorial habits in the endemic Australian skink genus Lerista. We provide evidence for positive site‐specific selection in all 4 cone opsins, as well as relaxed selection specific to LWS. We also provide evidence of selection linked to limb reduction, an indicator of fossorial adaptation ...

Frugivory and seed dispersal by crocodilians: an overlooked form of saurochory?
, 2020 Saurochory (seed dispersal by reptiles) among crocodilians has largely been ignored, probably because these reptiles are generally assumed to be obligate carnivores incapable of digesting vegetable proteins and polysaccharides.
