ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

Regeneration of the lizard heart after cryoinjury
Abstract Lizards are renowned for their tremendous potential to heal tissues and organs after injury, but little is known about myocardial regeneration in reptiles generally. Here, we study cardiac regeneration in the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius) to fill the knowledge gap between traditional models of poikilothermic (zebrafish) and ...

Abstract Stages of embryonic development for reptiles have been presented in tables that may include all or part of embryonic development. When oviposition occurs in some lizards, embryos are already in the later stages of development; likewise, the size of the eggs increases as incubation time progresses.

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology
ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
