Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 864-911, April 2026.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Geographical Variation in Body Size and Sexual Size Dimorphism (SSD) in the Epaulette Shark (Hemiscyllium ocellatum)

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Body size is of paramount importance to the survival of all organisms because of the intimate associations between size, physiological processes and ecology. Sexual size dimorphism (SSD: differences in size between the sexes) is a direct consequence of these ecomorphological relationships, arising due to sex‐based differences in selection ...

Thermal Plasticity in a Cross‐Sexual Transfer Trait: Geographic Variation and Phenotypic Integration of Blue Wing Colour in Female Butterflies

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2025.
We provide a first test whether female colour variation in common blue butterflies (a) has arisen through cross‐sexual transfer. Analyses of museum specimens (b) show that the distribution of females wing colour varies in a geographic mosaic pattern, and laboratory experiments (c) show that this variation is both genetically determined and impacted by ...

Genetic content of the neo-sex chromosomes in Ctenonotus and Norops (Squamata, Dactyloidae) and degeneration of the Y chromosome as revealed by high-throughput sequencing of individual chromosomes

open access: yes, 2019
Pleurodont lizards are characterized by an ancient system of sex chromosomes. Along with stability of the central component of the system (homologous to the X chromosome of Anolis carolinensis [Dactyloidae], ACAX), in some genera the ancestral sex ...

Diversity of a community of Anolis (Iguania: Dactyloidae) in the Central rainforest, department of Choco, Colombia

open access: yesBasic and Applied Herpetology, 2014
The ecological characterization of an Anolis community was done in five localities of the Choco District, all of them located in a tropical rainforest region. Visual Encounter Surveys (VES) were performed in three vegetation strata. In total, 303 individuals were recorded using a sampling effort of 960 hours / person, with a capture rate of 0.31 ...

Generation length of the world's amphibians and reptiles

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
Variation in life histories influences demographic processes, from adaptive changes to population declines leading to extinction. Among life history traits, generation length offers a critical feature to forecast species' demographic trajectories such as population declines (widely used by the IUCN Red List) and adaptability to environmental change ...

Positive Selection of TLR2 and MyD88 Genes Provides Insights Into the Molecular Basis of Immunological Adaptation in Amphibians

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.
We found that recurrent positive selection has acted on TLR2 and MyD88 in amphibians and positively selected sites were mainly located at or close to function domains. Our results suggest that amphibians have adapted to different pathogenic microorganisms during their transition from the aquatic to terrestrial environment and diversification into ...

Filling gaps in the geographic distribution of Anolis fuscoauratus d’Orbigny, 1837 (Squamata, Dactyloidae) in the southeastern Brazilian Atlantic Forest [PDF]

open access: yesCheck List, 2018
We update the southeastern distribution of Anolis fuscoauratus d’Orbigny, 1837 based on newly collected specimens and on specimens from scientific collections misidentified or deposited with questionable identifications. We include&
