A new stem saurian reptile from the late Permian of South Africa and insights into saurian evolution [PDF]
Swiss Journal of PalaeontologyThe evolutionary radiation of diapsid reptiles that includes all extant and most extinct reptiles is well-represented in the Mesozoic and Cenozoic fossil records, however, the earliest stages recorded in the Paleozoic Era are limited to comparatively few

Comparative analysis of sequential and thermodynamic features of pre-miRNA in insects with various organisms and applying XGBoost for one-vs-rest binary classification [PDF]
Scientific ReportsMicroRNAs are found to regulate various biological processes which are produced from precursor microRNA. As the length of such microRNA are small, homology-based searching is not very useful. Hence, various machine learning based tools have been designed

Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae). [PDF]
J AnatA three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...

ReptTraits: a comprehensive dataset of ecological traits in reptiles [PDF]
Scientific DataTrait datasets are increasingly being used in studies investigating eco-evolutionary theory and global conservation initiatives. Reptiles are emerging as a key group for studying these questions because their traits are crucial for understanding the ...

Efficacy and safety of afoxolaner (NexGard®) in a collection of captive-bred lizards for the treatment and control of mite infestation [PDF]
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and WildlifeLizards and other reptiles are increasingly gaining popularity as pets worldwide. These animals may be commonly parasitized by species of mites such as Ophionyssus natricis, which are deleterious, also because of their role as vectors of pathogens ...

Artbildung bei Waranen (Sauria: Varanidae)
Mitteilungen Aus Dem Zoologischen Museum in Berlin, 1991 Speciation in Monitor Lizards (Sauria: Varanidae)Hemipenial morphology in varanids proves to be a most reliable character group to identify systematic relationships. Differences can be traced even on the specific level, so that speciation processes can be recognized within groups with strikingly diverse adaptive radiations.
