Why they move: breeding-site availability drives partial migration in a large terrestrial reptile

bioRxiv
Migration is a widespread phenomenon across taxa, yet the ecological mechanisms underlying its evolution and maintenance, particularly whether migratory behaviors are primarily driven by access to spatially restricted breeding sites or by seasonal ...

Non‐Native Herpetofauna Continue to Proliferate in the World's Most Invaded Herpetofauna Community

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
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.

Classification of direct threats to the conservation of ecosystems and species 4.0

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract Identifying and assessing the magnitude of direct threats to ecosystems and species are critical steps to prioritizing, planning, implementing, and assessing conservation actions. Just as medical clinicians and researchers need a standard way to talk about human diseases, conservation practitioners and scientists need a common and ...

Evaluation of the endocranial anatomy of the early Paleogene north African gavialoid crocodylian Argochampsa krebsi and evolutionary implications for adaptation to salinity tolerance in marine crocodyliforms

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 6, Page 974-986, June 2025.
Abstract Argochampsa krebsi is a gavialoid crocodylian from the early Paleogene of North Africa. Based on its recovered phylogenetic relationship with South American species, it has been inferred to have been capable of transoceanic dispersal, but potential anatomical correlates for a marine lifestyle have yet to be identified.

Conservation of the Anegada Iguana (Cyclura pinguis) [PDF]

, 2005
The long-term survival of the Anegada Iguana (Cyclura pinguis) is uncertain. The species is in danger of becoming extinct due to habitat destruction, competition with feral livestock, and the introduction of non-native mammalian predators.

Endocranial anatomy and phylogenetic position of the crocodylian Eosuchus lerichei from the late Paleocene of northwestern Europe and potential adaptations for transoceanic dispersal in gavialoids

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 2, Page 636-670, February 2025.
Abstract Eosuchus lerichei is a gavialoid crocodylian from late Paleocene marine deposits of northwestern Europe, known from a skull and lower jaws, as well as postcrania. Its sister taxon relationship with the approximately contemporaneous species Eosuchus minor from the east coast of the USA has been explained through transoceanic dispersal ...

Review of osteoderm function and future research directions

Journal of Zoology, Volume 325, Issue 1, Page 1-24, January 2025.
Osteoderms are bone plates in the skin that occur in virtually all major tetrapod clades. Much has been speculated about their function, but many questions remain unanswered. This review provides an overview of the current state of knowledge and future research directions in this field.
