Island‐restricted reptiles are more threatened but less studied than their mainland counterparts
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.Reptiles are highly diverse on islands, yet there is no comprehensive overview of island‐restricted reptiles (IRRs) regarding their distribution, threat status, and research efforts. Our assessment revealed that despite IRRs comprising nearly a quarter of global reptile species and 30.8% being threatened, only 7.2% of the literature focuses on them ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Macroscale biodiversity inferences are critical for spatial conservation planning, yet they are affected by the limitations of global datasets and the paucity of genetic data. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive sampling campaign and explored how biodiversity shortfalls impact spatial diversity metrics across a mid‐altitude desert ...

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, Volume 341, Issue 3, Page 230-241, April 1, 2024.Sex determination systems have greatly diversified between amphibians and reptiles. In this review, we discuss the diversity of sex chromosomes in amphibians and reptiles resulted from comparative analyses of chromosome homology of sex chromosomes in amphibians and reptiles reported so far, using the genome of the chicken, which is thought to resemble ...

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1533, Issue 1, Page 16-37, March 2024.Snakes inhabit nearly every imaginable terrestrial environment, moving with ease under many conditions that would thwart other animals. Several facets of their functional diversity could have applications for bioinspired design. Here, we review snake locomotor behavior with a focus on biomechanics and environmental context, and then discuss the ...
