Loss, persistence and reversal of phenotypic traits
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The irreversibility of complex trait loss has long been a tenet of evolutionary biology. However, this idea is increasingly at odds with the numerous documented exceptions across the Tree of Life. We synthesise this growing body of evidence across a diverse array of taxa and traits, exploring the evolutionary conditions that enable ...

Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro‐CT
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Pulmonary development in tetrapods is a complex process, especially within squamates, where single‐chambered, transitional, and multi‐chambered lungs can be found in adult animals. While the embryological development of the respiratory system of lizards and snakes was studied in a number of species between the 1830s and 1940s, the ...

Biophysical processes of morphogenesis in lizard lungs
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background The lungs of squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) are highly diverse, exhibiting single chambers, multiple chambers, transitional forms with two to three chambers, along with a suite of other anatomical features, including finger‐like epithelial projections into the body cavity known as diverticulae.

Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2023 Lizards are the most diversified group of living reptiles with 7176 species worldwide (Uetz 2022). They play key roles in ecosystems where they are prey to a wide variety of predators, including snakes, other lizards, mammals, birds, and invertebrates (Pianka and Vitt 2006).

Alpine flora of Kashmir Himalaya: floristic assessment, life history traits and threat status
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Alpine ecosystems in the Himalaya are considered to be at a higher risk to anthropogenic global change drivers. The Kashmir Himalaya, located in the north‐western side of the Himalayan biodiversity hotspot, harbors a diverse alpine flora, which remains systematically little investigated.
