Developmental stage ordering yields greater cranial mineralization sequence resolution than embryo size or days since oviposition: A case study using the gekkotan Eublepharis macularius (Blyth, 1854)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We employ a set of leopard gecko embryos for which size, day of development, and developmental stage are known to assess which timetable accords with the greatest resolution of cranial mineralization events. Developmental staging yielded the best outcome. Abstract Mineralization sequences of cranial elements (often referred to as ossification sequences)

Identifying Potential Connectivity for an Urban Population of Rattlesnakes (Sistrurus catenatus) in a Canadian Park System

Land, 2020
In the face of ongoing habitat loss and fragmentation, maintaining an adequate level of landscape connectivity is needed to both encourage dispersal between habitat patches and to reduce the extinction risk of fragmented wildlife populations.

The Role of Gene Flow in the Diversification of the Monkey Treefrog Complex Across the South American Dry Diagonal

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 568-588, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

Ocean Romance: Japanese Treefrogs Exploit Coastal Pools for Breeding Under Salinity and Habitat Constraints

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Topographical features, including elevation and the distance of pools from the coastline and forest, influenced breeding‐site use in coastal landscapes. Pool characteristics such as area and depth, together with abiotic conditions particularly salinity, as well as dissolved oxygen, and temperature, further shaped breeding‐site suitability and patterns ...

Arboreal Duels in a Shared Niche: Direct Observations of Vinesnake (Thelotornis mossambicanus) Predation on Chameleons (Chamaeleo dilepis) Reveal Complex Foraging Dynamics

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Predator–prey interactions in three‐dimensional arboreal habitats are among the most complex and least observed ecological processes in terrestrial ecosystems. Here we report two predation events of the Eastern Vinesnake (Thelotornis mossambicanus) on the Flap‐necked Chameleon (Chamaeleo dilepis) in sand‐forest habitat of the Zambezi Delta ...

Emergence of Ophidiomyces ophidiicola, Nannizziopsis barbatae and Paranannizziopsis in free‐ranging Australian reptiles

Australian Veterinary Journal, Volume 104, Issue 6, Page 376-384, June 2026.
Emerging fungal diseases pose a threat to reptiles globally. Increasing detections of onygenalean fungi, particularly Ophidiomyces ophidiicola, Nannizziopsis spp. and Paranannizziopsis spp. in clinically diseased free‐ranging reptiles, indicate likely ongoing spread within wild reptile populations.
