Epidermal scale growth, allometry and function in non‐avian dinosaurs and extant reptiles

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Scale shapes in non‐avian dinosaurs and extant reptiles are mostly retained through growth. However, positive scale allometry and proportional differences in scale breadth are also detected, which are likely associated with changing body proportions. Based on their generally conserved morphology and impracticality for visual display, the enlarged size ...

Embryologıcal development and comparatıve analysıs of Anguis colchica (Nordmann, 1840): Insights into ossification and morphologıcal traits in anguimorph lizards

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study examines the embryonic development of Anguis colchica across three stages, highlighting key morphological and skeletal features. Ossification begins before stage 6, with cranial bones forming early, while frontal and parietal bones remain unfused at stage 7.

Osteology and arthrology of the ankle and tarsometatarsus of anoles (Iguania: Anolidae): not convergent with geckos but divergent from the ancestral iguanian condition

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...
