The genome sequence of the Tyrrhenian Wall Lizard, Podarcis tiliguerta (Gmelin, 1789) (Squamata: Lacertidae) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]

Wellcome Open Research
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Podarcis tiliguerta (Tyrrhenian Wall Lizard; Chordata; Lepidosauria; Squamata; Lacertidae). The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths of 1 462.31 megabases and 1 394.94 megabases.

Genetic Population Structure of the Italian Wall Lizards Podarcis siculus (Squamata: Lacertidae): Insight From Nuclear DNA Markers [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Since the Quaternary, recurrent climatic oscillations have profoundly shaped species distributions across the Mediterranean basin, generating complex phylogeographic patterns through repeated cycles of range contraction and expansion.

Thermal Ecology of a Central Anatolian Population of <i>Ophisops elegans</i>: Insights From Field Measurements and Microclimate Modeling. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Thermal ecology and behavior of O. elegans were examined with related morphological and environmental parameters. Substrate and air temperatures are the main factors influencing thermal biology. Thermoregulatory efficiency values indicate that O. elegans is an effective thermoregulator.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) of lizards: a first comprehensive characterization of beta-defensins, ovo-defensins and cathelicidins from Podarcis lilfordi and closely related Lacertidae species [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Reptiles exhibit remarkable resistance to infections, making them a critical model for studying the molecular basis of innate immunity. Key components of their innate immune response are the antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), small, rapidly ...

Gene Expression and Alternative Splicing Throughout the Reproductive Cycle of a Viviparous Lizard Reveal Novel Genes for Pregnancy and Convergence With Squamates and Mammals. [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Squamate pregnancy is an important topic in reproductive and evolutionary biology, as it provides insight to amniote live‐bearing that is not mammalian. Gene regulation in squamates is poorly characterised and the extent of molecular convergence in the developmental mechanisms of pregnancy across amniotes is strongly debated.

A Lizard Predation Experiment Demonstrates Batesian Ant Mimicry in <i>Camponotus lateralis</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Adaptiveness of ant mimicry was tested in an experimental terrarium with eight glass bowls with three ants each using lizards as real predators (dotted lines show holes; full lines show barriers). Bowls 1, 2, 7, and 8 were stocked with inaccurate and accurate mimics, Bowls 3–6 with the model.
