Physiology–microhabitat matching may help organisms cope with the thermal and hydric challenges under climate change: a tale of two lizards [PDF]
Ecography, EarlyView.Climate change is significantly affecting biodiversity, and organisms that depend on external temperature – such as ectotherms – are particularly vulnerable to these effects. Microhabitats provide refuge for species, thereby reducing exposure to thermal and hydric stress under climate change.

Microorganisms, 2022 Diet has been suggested to be an important driver of variation in microbiota composition in mammals. However, whether this is a more general phenomenon and how fast changes in gut microbiota occur with changes in diet remains poorly understood.

The Lizard Gut Microbiome Changes with Temperature and Is Associated with Heat Tolerance
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2020 Gut microbial communities affect their animal hosts in numerous ways, motivating investigations of the factors that shape the gut microbiota and the consequences of gut microbiota variation for host traits.

The global diversity and distribution of lizard clutch sizes
Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020 Aim: Clutch size is a key life-history trait. In lizards, it ranges over two orders of magnitude. The global drivers of spatial and phylogenetic variation in clutch have been extensively studied in birds, but such tests in other organisms are lacking. To

Devriesea agamarum associated cheilitis in a North African spiny-tailed lizard (Uromastyx acanthinura) in Spain [PDF]
Open Veterinary Journal, 2018 An 11-year-old, male North African spiny-tailed lizard (Uromastyx acanthinura) was presented with hyperkeratotic cheilitis. Based on clinical examination, histology and microbiological testing, Devriesea agamarum was identified as the causative agent of ...

Lizard and frog prestin: evolutionary insight into functional changes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The plasma membrane of mammalian cochlear outer hair cells contains prestin, a unique motor protein. Prestin is the fifth member of the solute carrier protein 26A family. Orthologs of prestin are also found in the ear of non-mammalian vertebrates such as

Lizard Bite Masquerading as Scorpion Sting Envenomation [PDF]
Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016 Lizard bite is very infrequent in children. Lizards tend to avoid confrontation. Bites are only inflicted when they are manipulated or when they are cornered and feel threatened.
