Delay Tolerant Wireless Sensor Network for Animal Monitoring: The Pink Iguana Case

Applications in Electronics Pervading Industry, Environment and Society, 2017
The design of GPS tracking devices and the related data collection infrastructure is an old task that still presents several research challenges from both a technical and biological point of view. Weight, size, and power consumption of such devices must be made compatible with small-sized species so as not to interfere with their lives and habits.

Novel herpesvirus in the critically endangered Galapagos pink land iguana

Acta Tropica
Virus surveillance in wildlife is important to understanding ecosystem health, taxonomy, and evolution. Nevertheless, viruses in reptiles, and specifically in squamates, continue to be understudied. Herein, we conducted a health assessment on the critically endangered Galapagos pink land iguana (Conolophus marthae) and the vulnerable Galapagos land ...

Ultrastructural studies distinguish skin diversities among Galápagos iguanas [PDF]

Biology Direct
Iguanas exhibit diverse colors and behaviors reflecting evolutionarily adaptation to various habitats; in particular, the Galápagos iguanas represent unique color morphologies with distinct ecological niches.

On the live holotype of the Galápagos pink land Iguana, Conolophus marthae Gentile & Snell, 2009 (Squamata: Iguanidae): is it an acceptable exception?

Zootaxa, 2009
The Galápagos pink land iguana, Conolophus marthae Gentile & Snell, 2009 (Squamata: Iguanidae) is the latest example of a species being described without the proper deposition of a preserved onomatophore (name-bearing type specimen) in a taxonomic collection. Differently from other recent similar descriptions, the holotype of Conolophus marthae was

Sarcoma at the Site of a Transponder Implant in a Standing's Day Gecko (<i>Phelsuma standingi</i>): A Case Report. [PDF]

Case Rep Vet Med
A 26‐year‐old female Standing’s day gecko (Phelsuma standingi) was presented for evaluation of a mass on the right caudolateral trunk and was subsequently euthanized. Necropsy revealed a neoplastic mass surrounding a passive integrated transponder at the body wall. Histopathology of the mass was consistent with a sarcoma and was characterized by whorls

Anthropogenic or Natural Dispersal: Case of the Spiny-Tailed Iguanas (<i>Ctenosaura</i>) on Clarion Island, Mexico. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Species can colonize oceanic islands by both natural and human‐assisted dispersal and human‐caused species introductions have had catastrophic effects on ecosystems around the world. The Spiny‐tailed Iguanas inhabiting Clarion Island were previously considered introduced. Molecular data and analyses support iguanas' arrival on Clarion Island by natural

Organization of the Auditory Brainstem in a Lizard, Gekko gecko. II. Afferent and Efferent Projections of Nuclei of the Lateral Lemniscus and the Torus Semicircularis. [PDF]

J Comp Neurol
We used tract tracing and in vivo physiology to investigate auditory processing in the brainstem of the Tokay gecko. We found conserved patterns of connection in higher‐order auditory nuclei and an apparent lack of tonotopy at the level of the auditory midbrain.

Ultra Low Power Wireless Sensor Network for Pink Iguanas Monitoring [PDF]

EUROSENSORS 2018, 2018
Energy management is a key issue in the design of long-lived wireless sensor networks. (WSNs). Energy is used to collect data by sensors and to communicate it to other nodes and to the gateways. The energy management procedures aim at minimizing the energy consumption of both the data acquisition and transmission activities. A careful design is crucial

Non-Native Herpetofauna Continue to Proliferate in the World's Most Invaded Herpetofauna Community. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
South Florida has the most non‐native reptiles and amphibians of anywhere in the world, making it the most likely herpetofaunal community to have reached saturation, yet we found significant increases in both alpha diversity and abundance over the last 5 years.
