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.

'Owl' and 'Lizard': patterns of head pose and eye pose in driver gaze classification [PDF]

open access: yesIET Computer Vision, 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.

Extinct, obscure or imaginary: The lizard species with the smallest ranges

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions: A journal of biological invasions and biodiversity, 2017
Small geographic ranges make species especially prone to extinction from anthropogenic disturbances or natural stochastic events. We assemble and analyse a comprehensive dataset of all the world's lizard species and identify the species with the smallest

The likely effects of thermal climate change on vertebrate skeletal muscle mechanics with possible consequences for animal movement and behaviour [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Climate change can involve alteration in the local temperature that an animal is exposed to, which in turn may affect skeletal muscle temperature.

Determinants of spread in an urban landscape by an introduced lizard

open access: yesLandscape Ecology, 2016
Urban landscapes are a mixture of built structures, human-altered vegetation, and remnant semi-natural areas. The spatial arrangement of abiotic and biotic conditions resulting from urbanization doubtless influences the establishment and spread of non ...

Female–female aggression in the Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum)

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2023
Historically, the role of aggression in the social lives of animals overwhelmingly focused on males. In recent years, however, female–female aggression in vertebrates, particularly lizards, has received increasing attention.
