Owl and Lizard: Patterns of Head Pose and Eye Pose in Driver Gaze Classification [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2015
Accurate, robust, inexpensive gaze tracking in the car can help keep a driver safe by facilitating the more effective study of how to improve (1) vehicle interfaces and (2) the design of future Advanced Driver Assistance Systems. In this paper, we estimate head pose and eye pose from monocular video using methods developed extensively in prior work and

The elusive scleral cartilages: Comparative anatomy and development in teleosts and avians

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract The sclera of all vertebrate eyes is comprised of connective tissue, with some organisms developing cartilage within this tissue. A review of the cartilages that have been described in the vertebrate sclera and their anatomical relationships is discussed together with their potential homology.

The Lizard Gut Microbiome Changes with Temperature and Is Associated with Heat Tolerance

open access: yesApplied 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.

Synuclein expression in the lizard Anolis carolinensis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The synuclein (syn) family comprises three proteins: alpha-, beta- and gamma-syns. In humans, they are involved in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and in tumors. Members of the syn family were sequenced in representative species of

Socioecology of the Australian Tree Skink (Egernia striolata)

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
There is great diversity in social behavior across the animal kingdom. Understanding the factors responsible for this diversity can help inform theory about how sociality evolves and is maintained.

Adult neurogenesis in the telencephalon of the lizard Podarcis liolepis

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
In adult lizards, new neurons are generated from neural stem cells in the ventricular zone of the lateral ventricles. These new neurons migrate and integrate into the main telencephalic subdivisions. In this work we have studied adult neurogenesis in the

THE ECOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES OF HABITAT AND MICROHABITAT USE IN LIZARDS:: A REVIEW [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We review the ecological consequences of habitat and microhabitat use in lizards. Different habitats have different biotic and abiotic properties and thus are likely to have different consequences for the lizards that occur in them.

Altitudinal distribution and habitat use of the common wall lizard Podarcis muralis (Linnaeus, 1768) and the Horvath’s rock lizard Iberolacerta horvathi (Méhely, 1904) in the Kočevsko region (S Slovenia)

open access: yesNatura Sloveniae, 2016
The study reports on the distribution and habitat use of two lizard species in the Kočevsko region: Horvath’s rock lizard and common wall lizard. Extensive sampling across an altitudinal span of 200 to 1,100 m a.s.l.

Regulatory changes in pterin and carotenoid genes underlie balanced color polymorphisms in the wall lizard

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018
Significance Reptiles show an amazing color diversity based on variation in melanins, carotenoids, and pterins. This study reveals genes controlling differences between three color morphs (white, orange, and yellow) in the common wall lizard.
