Sand swimming lizard: sandfish [PDF]
arXiv, 2009 We use high-speed x-ray imaging to reveal how a small (~10cm) desert dwelling lizard, the sandfish (Scincus scincus), swims within a granular medium [1]. On the surface, the lizard uses a standard diagonal gait, but once below the surface, the organism no longer uses limbs for propulsion. Instead it propagates a large amplitude single period sinusoidal

Pre‐oviposition development of the brown anole (Anolis sagrei)
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background The brown anole, Anolis sagrei, has emerged as a representative squamate species for developmental studies during the past decades. Novel functional tools have been established to manipulate embryogenesis through genome editing or the introduction of small molecule inhibitors, and their effective use requires a thorough ...

Parasite, 2010 Plasmodium carmelinoi n. sp. is described in the teiid lizard Ameiva ameiva from north Brazil. Following entry of the merozoites into the erythrocyte, the young, uninucleated trophozoites are at first tearshaped and already possess a large vacuole: with ...

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Homology in vertebrate body plans is traditionally ascribed to the high‐level conservation of regulatory components within the genetic programs governing them, particularly during the “phylotypic stage.” However, advancements in embryology and molecular phylogeny have unveiled the dynamic nature of gene repertoires responsible for early ...

collected from South and South-eastern regions of Turkey [PDF]
, 2016 A total of 45 lizards (Acanthodactylus harranensis [n = 15], Acanthodacthylus schreiberi [n = 9] and Mesalina brevirostris [n = 21]) were collected from South and Southeastern Regions of Turkey and examined for helminth fauna. Acanthodactylus harranensis

Spatiotemporal distribution of neural crest cells in the common wall lizard Podarcis muralis
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Neural crest cells (NCCs) are migratory embryonic stem cells that give rise to a diverse set of cell types. Here we describe the dynamic distribution of NCCs in developing embryos of the common wall lizard Podarcis muralis inferred from 10 markers.

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Genomics can play important roles in biodiversity conservation, especially for Extinct‐in‐the‐Wild species where genetic factors greatly influence risk of total extinction and probability of successful reintroductions. The Christmas Island blue‐tailed skink (Cryptoblepharus egeriae) and Lister's gecko (Lepidodactylus listeri) are two endemic ...

Habitat use and food habitats of a gecko population in a west African suburban area [PDF]
, 2020 1.The spatial and trophic ecology of Afrotropical gecko populations are poorly known. Here, we report ecological observations on Brook’s House Gecko (Hemidactylus angulatus), a widespread gekkonid species, in the Rivers State University of Science and ...
