Osteology and arthrology of the ankle and tarsometatarsus of anoles (Iguania: Anolidae): not convergent with geckos but divergent from the ancestral iguanian condition

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
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

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 437-485, February 2026.
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

Archivos Latinoamericanos de Nutrición, 2000
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–bone attachment tissue is produced by cells with a mixture of odontoblastic and osteoblastic features in reptiles

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 2, Page 251-268, February 2026.
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.

PLoS ONE, 2020
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.

The Secret Life of Tidal Marshes and Mangroves: Camera Trapping as a Window Into Wildlife Using North American Coastal Wetlands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We conducted the first coordinated assessment of terrestrial wildlife across North America's vegetated coastal wetlands. Our study demonstrates the significant role coastal wetlands play in wildlife support, offers a model for broad‐scale wildlife studies, and highlights the importance of incorporating top‐down perspectives and a landscape approach ...

Oxyuris spp. Infection in Green Iguana (Iguana iguana) Under Different Cage Types

Journal of Parasite Science
The caging system becomes one of the most crucial points in the green iguana (Iguana iguana) husbandry practice since some pathogens are transmitted through ingesting contaminated feed or water in the cage.

Conversion of 7α,12α-dihydroxycholest-4-en-3-one to 5α-cholestane-3α,7α,12α-triol by iguana liver microsomes

Journal of Lipid Research, 1968
The role of 7α,l2α-dihydroxycholest-4-en-3-one as an intermediate in the formation of 5α-bile acids from cholesterol was investigated with liver preparations of Iguana iguana in vitro.
