A New Genus of Miniaturized and Pug-Nosed Gecko from South America (Sphaerodactylidae: Gekkota) [PDF]
Sphaerodactyl geckos comprise five genera distributed across Central and South America and the Caribbean. We estimated phylogenetic relationships among sphaerodactyl genera using both separate and combined analyses of seven nuclear genes.

Unravelling Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors Shaping the Rich Communities on Lizard Skin. [PDF]
Geckos host diverse skin bacteria despite low biomass. Geckos in the Australian seasonal tropics hosted divergent skin communities between species, sites and seasons, but with low explanatory power. We suggest assessment of skin bacterial viability before exploring whether functional diversity better explains community patterns than taxonomic diversity

Tempo and mode of performance evolution across multiple independent origins of adhesive toe pads in lizards [PDF]
Understanding macroevolutionary dynamics of trait evolution is an important endeavor in evolutionary biology. Ecological opportunity can liberate a trait as it diversifies through trait space, while genetic and selective constraints can limit ...

VOCALIZATION OF THE CROCODILE SKINK, TRIBOLONOTUS GRACILIS (DE ROOY, 1909), AND EVIDENCE OF PARENTAL CARE. [PDF]
The crocodile or spiny skinks, Tribolonotus, comprise eight secretive semi-fossorial lizards, which are generally found under vegetation in the immediate vicinity of water (Greer and Parker, 1968; O'Shea, 1991, 1994; Rogner, 1997). Tribolonotus gracilis (

Complete mitochondrial genome of the webbed-toed gecko Gekko subpalmatus (Squamata: Gekkonidae)
Here, we report the first complete mitochondrial genome of Gekko subpalmatus. The genome of Gekko subpalmatus is 17,105 bp in length and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control region.
