Long‐Distance Dispersal Explains the Contemporary Distribution of a Peninsular Indian Endemic Skink

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Skinks of the genus Sphenomorphus are one of the most speciose genera of lizards, with 115 presently recognised species. Their range extends across tropical Asia, making them suitable for studying speciation and biogeographic patterns. At present, five species of Sphenomorphus are reported from India.

The evolution of muscle spindles

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.
