Range‐Wide Assessment of the Tasmanian Devil Gut Microbiome [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.We conducted a comprehensive assessment of gut microbiomes at 10 locations across Tasmania, utilizing molecular methods such as 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and diet metabarcoding to investigate the influences of diet, location, sex, and age. Contrary to the prevailing notion that diet is a main driver of gut microbiome differences, we found that ...

A review of the osteoderms of lizards (Reptilia: Squamata) [PDF]
Biological Reviews, 2021 ABSTRACTOsteoderms are mineralised structures consisting mainly of calcium phosphate and collagen. They form directly within the skin, with or without physical contact with the skeleton. Osteoderms, in some form, may be primitive for tetrapods as a whole, and are found in representatives of most major living lineages including turtles, crocodilians ...

A key to understanding this great radiation of reptiles is the physiology of the jaw musculature which powers the feeding apparatus.

The Phylogenetic Definition of Reptilia [PDF]
Systematic Biology, 2004 Naming taxa is an important endeavor in the documentation of life by systematists, whether it is conducted in the context of traditional rank-based classification or within a phylogenetic framework. Proponents of the phylogenetic approach distinguish between the diagnosis of a group and its definition (Ghiselin, 1984; Rowe, 1987, 1988), and this ...
