Larvas provenientes de duas fêmeas de Amblyomma dissimile Koch, 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae), naturalmente ingurgitadas em uma iguana (Iguana iguana) e provenientes do Estado do Mato Grosso, foram utilizadas na infestação experimental de lagartos da espécie ...

We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Don’t Demean “Invasives”: Conservation and Wrongful Species Discrimination [PDF]
It is common for conservationists to refer to non-native species that have undesirable impacts on humans as “invasive”. We argue that the classification of any species as “invasive” constitutes wrongful discrimination.

Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...

A 50‐year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies
ABSTRACT Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations ...

Análisis comparativo proximal y de minerales entre carnes de iguana, pollo y res
Se estudió la composición proximal (g/ 100g) y el contenido de algunos minerales (mg/100g) en carne cruda de especies diferentes (n = 20/especie). La carne de iguana (Iguana iguana) se obtuvo de ejemplares enteros capturados en finca.

Tooth attachment in vertebrates ranges from ligament‐based anchorage in mammals to direct fusion in many reptiles. In the veiled chameleon, we identified a transient cell population—termed ankyloblasts—at the tooth‐bone interface. These cells exhibit both odontoblast‐ and osteoblast‐like features.

First known trace fossil of a nesting iguana (Pleistocene), The Bahamas.
Most species of modern iguanas (Iguania, Iguanidae) dig burrows for dwelling and nesting, yet neither type of burrow has been interpreted as trace fossils in the geologic record.
