Clade‐wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The columella (=stapes) is the middle ear bone of reptiles that transmits vibrations from the environment to the inner ear. It has been shown to exhibit extensive interspecific morphological disparity in several clades; however, its morphological variation and associated functional consequences remain poorly described.

Drivers of tail evolution in squamates and their implications for the fossorial origin of snakes
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The axial skeleton serves as the primary structural support in all vertebrates and is subdivided into five distinct regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and caudal. Relaxation of constraints acting on the terminal end of the axial skeleton has led to remarkable variation in caudal vertebrae number across Squamata.

The tectonic evolution of mantle rocks from the lizardophiolite complex, South-West England [PDF]
, 1999 In SW England, a highly deformed and metamorphosed assemblage of ultramafic, mafic and granitic rocks is interpreted to represent a fragment of upper mantle and lower oceanic crust: the Lizard Ophiolite Complex.

Bacterial-lizard dynamics differ between the Passive Acquisition and Lizard-Lizard Epidemic models.
, 2013 The arrows show the transmission of bacteria that ultimately colonize lizard mouths. In the lizard-lizard epidemic model, bacteria colonize new lizard mouths (L2, L3) when those lizards eat prey (P1) infected from another lizard (L1). The prey ultimately

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Hyperodapedontine rhynchosaurs possessed a unique oral apparatus, long interpreted as an adaptation for processing abrasive and resistant plant material. However, the microanatomical and histological evidence supporting this interpretation remains poorly documented.

The organization of tip links and stereocilia on hair cells of bird and lizard basilar papillae [PDF]
, 1989 Auditory papillae from three species of bird (pigeon, starling, and chick), and two species of European lizard (Podarcis murolis and Podarcis sic&) were examined by scanning electron microscopy.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Nowadays, Lepidosauria is a diverse group represented by squamates and the rhynchocephalian tuatara. However, their origins date back to the end of the Permian Period, when the stem lineages Lepidosauromorpha and Archosauromorpha diverged. Within the lepidosauromorph stem lineage, a few species have been described with unstable phylogenetic ...
