A most unusual tail: Scoliosis in a wild Australian skink, and reported incidences and suggested causes of similar malformations amongst squamates

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 3, Page 723-728, May 2022., 2022
AbstractMalformations of vertebrae potentially occur across many taxa, particularly in Testudines, which are susceptible to kyphosis (dorsoventral curvature of the spine). Such malformations may stem from either genetic or environmental origins, and their prevalence and associated impacts on survival remain poorly understood.

How important is it to consider lineage diversification heterogeneity in macroevolutionary studies? Lessons from the lizard family Liolaemidae

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 47, Issue 6, Page 1286-1297, June 2020., 2020
Abstract Macroevolutionary and biogeographical studies commonly apply multiple models to test state‐dependent diversification. These models track the association between states of interest along a phylogeny, although many of them do not consider whether different clades might be evolving under different evolutionary drivers.
