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

How Foraging Mode Sculpts Sensory Systems: Morphological Evidence From DiceCT and Histology in Sympatric Lizards. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe relationship between foraging modes and sensory system morphology is critical for understanding the ecological and evolutionary adaptations of lizards. This study investigates the nasal olfactory system (NOS) and vomeronasal system (VNS) of four sympatric lizards from the Turpan Basin, China, which exhibit distinct foraging strategies.

Asymmetry in the common wall lizard Podarcis muralis under different levels of urbanization: The effect of trait and FA index selection [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2019 The use of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) as a measure of developmental instability and its relationship to stress and fitness is highly controversial. We examined whether the selection of different FA indices and traits influences the results of FA analysis.
