The complete mitogenome of the Eurasian blindsnake Xerotyphlops vermicularis (Reptilia, Typhlopidae)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
The Eurasian or Greek blindsnake, Xerotyphlops vermicularis, is the only European representative of the infraorder Scolecophidia, a largely understudied group of snakes with a poor record of available mitogenomes.

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 ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of the horned lizard Phrynosoma blainvillii (Squamata: Phrynosomatidae) from California, USA

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
Analysis of Phrynosoma blainvillii Gray from Marina, Monterey County, California, using 150 bp paired-end Illumina sequences (Illumina, San Diego, CA) resulted in the assembly of its complete mitogenome. The mitogenome is 16,946 bp in length and contains

Into the Light: Diurnality has Evolved Multiple Times in Geckos [PDF]

, 2015
Geckos are the only major lizard group consisting mostly of nocturnal species. Nocturnality is presumed to have evolved early in gecko evolution and geckos possess numerous adaptations to functioning in low light and at low temperatures. However, not all

The mitochondrial genomes of Atlas Geckos (Quedenfeldtia): mitogenome assembly from transcriptomes and anchored hybrid enrichment datasets

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2017
The nearly complete mitogenomes of the two species of North African Atlas geckos, Quedenfeldtia moerens and Q. trachyblepharus were assembled from anchored hybrid enrichment data and RNAseq data.

Ecological associations among epidermal microstructure and scale characteristics of Australian geckos (Squamata: Carphodactylidae and Diplodactylidae)

Journal of Anatomy, 2019
A first step in examining factors influencing trait evolution is demonstrating associations between traits and environmental factors. Scale microstructure is a well‐studied feature of squamate reptiles (Squamata), including geckos, but few studies ...

A comparative atlas of the skull osteology of European lizards (Reptilia: Squamata)

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2019
The fossil record provides evidence of a long evolutionary history of European lizards. Since fossil lizards are regularly represented by bone remains, the knowledge of the origins of extant taxa and their distribution in time and space is hindered by ...
