A description of dental microanatomy and implantation geometry in Chamaeleonidae

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A reassessment of the dental histology in adult chamaeleons reveals the presence of periodontal ligament. Alongside alveolar bone and cementum, these tissues together constitute a compacted and remodelled tripartite periodontium. Our findings include the novel observation of plicidentine‐like protuberances of dentine within underlying bone.

The Evolutionary Implications of Hemipenial Morphology of Rattlesnake Crotalus durissus terrificus (Laurent, 1768) (Serpentes: Viperidae: Crotalinae). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Most amniotes vertebrates have an intromittent organ to deliver semen. The reptile Sphenodon and most birds lost the ancestral penis and developed a cloaca-cloaca mating.

Phylogenetic Reconstruction of Lung Evolution in Extant Squamata

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
The Squamata group exhibits remarkable diversity in lung structure. However, a comprehensive understanding of how this variation evolved within the clade is still lacking. To reconstruct the evolutionary history of lungs of living squamates, we conducted comparative phylogenetic analyses using categorized lung traits, such as lung type, respiratory ...

The mosasaurs (Squamata, Mosasauridae) of the Garcet Collection

Bulletin de la Société Géologique de France, 2012
Abstract Robert Garcet (April 12, 1912 – December 26, 2001) amassed a remarkable collection of mosasaur fossils from upper Maastrichtian strata in the Eben Emael-Lava area (Liège, Belgium), just south of the type section of the Maastrichtian Stage at the St Pietersberg (Maastricht, the Netherlands).

The skeleton of the green Iguana iguana (Squamata: Iguanidae) and its intraspecific morphological variation

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3345-3374, November 2026.
Abstract The green iguana (Iguana iguana) is an iguanine lizard with herbivorous and arboreal habits, whose distribution spans through South America, Central America to the south of North America. Although the genus Iguana is well‐known, the species still lacks a comprehensive and up‐to‐date anatomical study, particularly addressing the axial skeleton,

Riparian Amphibian and Reptile Assemblages in Streams Along a Forest Regeneration Gradient in the Ecuadorian Chocó

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT While primary forests are declining, regenerating habitats are becoming increasingly common. In fragmented environments, streams may function as corridors between forest remnants for riparian and aquatic species. However, the responses of stream‐associated species to forest regeneration remain understudied.

Striking Suture Zone Mismatch Between Nuclear and Mitochondrial Markers in North African Chalcides ocellatus (Squamata: Scincidae)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 795-804, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Linnaean and Wallacean shortfalls remain pervasive even among common and widespread Mediterranean taxa, limiting our understanding of evolutionary history and species boundaries. The Ocellated Skink Chalcides ocellatus complex illustrates this issue, with disputed subspecific taxonomy and deep mitochondrial divergences across North Africa and ...
