Cold‐blooded commerce: Characterizing and predicting trade in Australian squamates
Despite a national ban on native wildlife exports, Australian reptile species continue to appear in international trade. Using boosted regression trees, we found that large body sizes and taxonomic family, rather than color or patterning, best predicted trade presence. We identified 59 species likely to be targeted in the future, providing key insights

Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...

A 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 ...

A female rusty dragon (Ctenophorus rufescens) in the Musgrave Range, Northern Territory, Australia in 2012. This dragon was collected as part of a study by the authors. A different female rusty dragon collected at the same time survived 12 years in captivity, making it the oldest known Ctenophorus dragon. Photo by Angus Kennedy.
