The relationship between hard and soft tissue structures of the eye in extant lizards. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Morphol, 2022
The sizes of the eye structures are important factors for the visual sensitivity. Strong correlations were found between the size of the scleral ossicle ring and soft tissue structures in extant squamates eyes. These correlations will allow reliable estimations of soft structures and inferences on the visual sensitivity and mode of life in fossil ...

A revision of the green Anoles of Hispaniola with description of eight new species (Reptilia, Squamata, Dactyloidae)

open access: yesNovitates Caribaea, 2016
We revise the species of green anoles (i.e., the species related to Anolis aliniger, A. chlorocyanus, and A. coelestinus) occuring on Hispaniola. Based on our analyses of morphological and molecular genetic data we recognize 16 species of green anoles ...

Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro-CT. [PDF]

open access: yesDev Dyn
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 ...

Urbanization Drives Habitat Suitability of the Invasive Cuban Knight Anole (<i>Anolis equestris</i>) in Florida, USA. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
This study evaluates the climatic and anthropogenic factors driving the habitat suitability of the invasive Cuban knight anole (Anolis equestris) in Florida and its potential impact on three threatened invertebrate species through habitat overlap. Using species distribution models (SDMs), we found that urbanization strongly influences the anole's ...

Intraspecific variation in body size and shape in an Andean highland anole species, Anolis ventrimaculatus (Squamata: Dactyloidae)

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2013
Variation in body characteristics related to lizard locomotion has been poorly studied at the intraspecific level in Anolis species. Local adaptation due to habitat heterogeneity has been reported in some island species.
