Wag the Lizard

Scientific American, 2017
The article focuses on leopard geckos in the highlands of Afghanistan that possess self-amputation ability, called autotomy, which allows them to shed their tail when attacked, and a study by biologist Kevin Jagnandan and others on how the gecko adapts to losing its tail by taking sprawled posture.

A Braitenberg Lizard: Continuous Phonotaxis with a Lizard Ear Model

2009
The peripheral auditory system of a lizard is structured as a pressure difference receiver with strong broadband directional sensitivity. Previous work has demonstrated that this system can be implemented as a set of digital filters generated by considering the lumped-parameter model of the auditory system, and can be used successfully for step control

Monogamy in lizards

Behavioural Processes, 2000
Monogamy is relatively rarely reported in taxa other than birds. The reproductive system of many lizard species appears to involve multiple mating partners for both the male and the female. However, short-term monogamous relationships have been reported in some lizard species, either where the male defends a territory that is only occupied by a single ...

EXTRARETINAL PHOTORECEPTION IN LIZARDS

Photochemistry and Photobiology, 1976
Abstract— In lizards both photoperiodic photoreception and entrainment (synchronization) of the biological clock by environmental light cycles can be accomplished by extraretinal photoreceptors. Testicular size and spermatogenic activity in the green anole, Anolis carolinensis, is maintained under long (14 h) photoperiods in the summer in both sighted ...

Electrophysiology of the lizard cochlea

Experimental Neurology, 1969
The cochlear potentials of several species of lizard were measured, in particular Trachysaurus rugosus. Auditory responses were measured both at the round window and in scala tympani. The round window membrane was found to have considerable effect on the recorded potentials causing an attenuation and differentiation of summating potential (SP).

The Alligator Lizard and Granite Spiny Lizard

1990
Anguid lizards are found on most continents and most have strongly reduced limbs. The alligator lizard of western North America is exceptional, in that it has relatively well-developed limbs and moves in a similar way to most other lizards. Since 1974, an extensive series of reports has been published on the structure and response activity of the ...
