Biophysical processes of morphogenesis in lizard lungs

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The lungs of squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) are highly diverse, exhibiting single chambers, multiple chambers, transitional forms with two to three chambers, along with a suite of other anatomical features, including finger‐like epithelial projections into the body cavity known as diverticulae.

Oogenesis and germinal bed morphology of the brown anole (A. sagrei)

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The brown anole is a model species of the genus Anolis, a squamate (encompassing lizards and snakes) group widely studied in evolutionary, behavioral, and developmental biology. Full genome annotation, the establishment of gene editing techniques, and comprehensive description of reproductive tract morphology and embryogenesis in ...

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Temperature variability homogenized thermal responses in an ectotherm community along a European longitudinal gradient

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change, through rising temperatures, greater variability, and more frequent extremes, is reshaping insect phenology and thermal niches, with profound effects for pest outbreaks. Predicting these impacts requires a clear understanding of species and communities' responses across geographic gradients.

Effect of Body Configuration on Perturbation Resistance Across Arboreal Lizard Species

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Animals that inhabit high‐risk habitats often exhibit morphological and behavioral adaptations to contend with environmental challenges. In arboreal (tree‐based) habitats, such adaptations can include corrective behaviors, such as modification of body‐limb angles, to avoid dislodgement by perturbations.

Wild‐Derived House Mice (Mus musculus) Are Able to Cope With a Constant Light Environment

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exposure to altered nighttime lighting conditions has become common in today's modern world. Light at night disrupts circadian processes that govern feeding patterns, sleep/wake cycles, and metabolic homoeostasis, increasing the risk of developing pathologies associated with cardiometabolic disease. Yet, the underlying mechanism(s) responsible

Ultrastructure of the reproductive system of the black swamp snake (\u3ci\u3eSeminatrix pygaea\u3c/i\u3e). Part III. The sexual segment of the male kidney. [PDF]

, 2002
In mature male snakes and lizards, a distal portion of the nephron is hypertrophied in relation to its appearance in females and immature males. This sexual segment of the male kidney apparently provides seminal fluid that is mixed with sperm and ...

Prevalence and Mechanisms of Sustained Force Production in the Musculature of the Southern Alligator Lizard (Elgaria multicarinata)

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The southern alligator lizard (Elgaria multicarinata) exhibits prolonged mate‐holding behavior. This behavior maybe be underpinned by a phenomenon known as sustained force, observed in the jaw muscles of this species, in which the muscle fails to relax between subsequent contractions.
