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 ...

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.

Locating Nesting Sites for Critically Endangered Galápagos Pink Land Iguanas (Conolophus marthae)

Animals
Invasive alien species control is recognized worldwide as a priority action to preserve global biodiversity. However, a lack of general life history knowledge for threatened species can impede the effectiveness of conservation actions.

Negative results for anti-Leptospira sp. agglutinins in free-living Iguanas (Iguana iguana) from the Amazon region of Brazil

Ciência Rural, 2018
: Although, serological studies for leptospirosis in iguanas have already been performed, there is no report in the Amazon region. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the presence of anti-Leptospira sp.

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 ...
