The Complete Mitochondrial Genome of Nearly Threatened Kwang-Yang Asian Frog <i>Nanorana quadranus</i> (Anura: Dicroglossidae) and Its Phylogenetic Analyses. [PDF]
We report the first complete mitochondrial genome of the near‐threatened frog Nanorana quadranus from the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau. The 20,173 bp mitogenome includes 13 protein‐coding genes, 21 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs, and a control region. Phylogenetic analysis places N. quadranus in a clade with N.

How Foraging Mode Sculpts Sensory Systems: Morphological Evidence From DiceCT and Histology in Sympatric Lizards. [PDF]
The relationship between foraging modes and sensory system morphology is critical for understanding the ecological and evolutionary adaptations of lizards. This study investigates the nasal olfactory system (NOS) and vomeronasal system (VNS) of four sympatric lizards from the Turpan Basin, China, which exhibit distinct foraging strategies.

Three New Endemic Species of Namib Day Geckos (Gekkonidae: <i>Rhoptropus</i>) From the Namibe Province, Angola. [PDF]
In this work, we described three new endemic species of Namib Day geckos (Rhoptropus) from the northern Benguela Province, highlighting the importance of this region as an important center of endemism. ABSTRACT Angola remains one of the least explored countries in Africa, and several groups of reptiles still require taxonomic and phylogenetic revision.

Coming to America: Multiple Origins of New World Geckos [PDF]
Geckos in the Western Hemisphere provide an excellent model to study faunal assembly at a continental scale. We generated a time-calibrated phylogeny, including exemplars of all New World gecko genera, to produce a biogeographic scenario for the New ...
