Coming to America: Multiple Origins of New World Geckos [PDF]
, 2011 Geckos in the Western Hemisphere provide an excellent model to study faunal assembly at a continental scale. We generated a time-calibrated phylogeny, including exemplars of all New World gecko genera, to produce a biogeographic scenario for the New ...

No Evidence for Pace of Life Evolution Along Elevational Gradients in Squamate Reptiles
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.Ecological conditions can significantly influence the trade‐off between survival, growth, and reproduction, leading to evolutionary divergence in life‐history traits among populations experiencing different environments. The pace of life syndrome hypothesis (POLS) proposes that additional suites of traits, from physiology to behaviour, adaptively co ...

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 1, January/February 2026.Abstract The Late Cretaceous witnessed numerous transgression–regression sequences and the onset of a global cooling phase at the start of the Campanian. In the European archipelago, these environmental changes, combined with active plate tectonics, facilitated the formation of ephemeral land bridges that served as dispersal routes for a variety of ...

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Reptiles play important roles in natural systems, as predators, prey, grazers, seed dispersers, and commensal species. However, in many cultures, due to superstitions, myths, and false beliefs, people either avoid reptiles or want solely to kill them.

Epidermal scale growth, allometry and function in non‐avian dinosaurs and extant reptiles
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 2, Page 250-283, August 2025.Scale shapes in non‐avian dinosaurs and extant reptiles are mostly retained through growth. However, positive scale allometry and proportional differences in scale breadth are also detected, which are likely associated with changing body proportions. Based on their generally conserved morphology and impracticality for visual display, the enlarged size ...

Effect of Soil Properties on Species Richness of Fossorial Squamate Reptiles
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Species richness varies greatly over geographic gradients. Climate and other above‐ground attributes are the most common variables used to explain animal richness patterns. However, soil properties may play an important role in shaping the richness of species living underground.
