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 ...

Climate Change in the Brazilian Cerrado: A Looming Threat to Terrestrial Biodiversity
Due to climate change, the Brazilian Cerrado, a global biodiversity hotspot, is becoming hotter and drier, with longer and more intense dry seasons. This alters biodiversity by altering plant physiology, ecological interactions, and species distribution, creating more homogeneous and less diverse communities.

This study examined dorsal pattern variations across the geographic range of an Australian lizard using multispectral photography and visual models for lizards and avian predators. Findings reveal differences in dorsal colouration based on sex, body size, genetic clades and habitat type.

Abstract The thermoregulatory system of homeothermic endotherms operates to attain thermal equilibrium, that is no net loss or gain of heat, where possible, under a thermal challenge, and not to attain a set‐point or any other target body temperature.

PHYLOGEOGRAPHY AND GENETIC STRUCTURE IN THE CNEMIDOPHORUS LONGICAUDA COMPLEX (SQUAMATA, TEIIDAE)
Cnemidophorus longicauda is a poorly-studied species of whiptail lizard distributed in the Monte Desert region of Argentina. Some variation in dorsal color pattern has been observed between northern and southern populations along the latitudinal range of the species. Recently, a new species of Cnemidophorus (C. tergolaevigatus) previously considered as

Microhabitat and adhesive toepads shape gecko limb morphology
Microhabitat affects gecko limb morphology differently than expected in other lizards. Although adhesive toepads' state is phylogenetically conserved, they were acquired and lost multiple times in geckos, with an association of toepads with arboreality. Padless geckos generally have longer limbs and limb segments than pad‐bearing species.
