Lizards and amphisbaenians (Reptilia, Squamata) from the middle Eocene of Mazaterón (Soria, Spain)
The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 6, Page 1753-1768, June 2025.Abstract The assemblage of lizards and amphisbaenians (Reptilia, Squamata) from the middle Eocene locality of Mazaterón (Spain) is described. Considering the rather limited material available for the study, the assemblage shows a moderate diversity with eight taxa corresponding to five different families.

A new species of Psammobates (Reptilia: Testudinidae) from the early Pleistocene of South Africa. [PDF]
, 1997 Main articleA new species of Psammobates Fitzinger is described from early Pleistocene cave deposits at Sterkfontein in the Gauteng Province of South Africa. It seems to be most closely related to P.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 6, Page 1659-1676, June 2025.Abstract Testudines are one of the best‐represented taxonomic groups among the Paleogene taxa of the Duero Basin (Castile and Leon Autonomous Community, central Spain). Among them, Neochelys (Podocnemidide) and Allaeochelys (Carettochelyidae) are most abundant, allowing the population to be assessed for osteological anomalies.

Thesis Abstract Morphological and phylogeographic analysis of Brazilian tortoises (Testudinidae)
Genetics and Molecular Research, 2015 The discriminative potentials of biogeography, vocalization, morphology, cytogenetics, hemoglobin, and molecular profiling of cytochrome b as taxonomic techniques for differentiating Brazilian tortoises were evaluated in this study. In Brazil, two species of tortoises are described, Chelonoidis carbonarius and Chelonoidis denticulatus.

Why all those spines? Anachronistic defences in the Didiereoideae against now extinct lemurs
South African Journal of Science, 2013 Plants evolve physical defences, such as spines, against browsing herbivores. However, in some cases, these defences may be anachronistic because the principal consumers of protected parts of the plant are extinct.

The padloper’s tortuous path (Chelonia: Testudinidae): Two genera, not one
African Journal of Herpetology, 2018 Since 1957, all padlopers were considered Homopus, which was an anomaly, because only two species have four claws on the front and hind limbs. The revival of the genus Chersobius for the five-toed species (signatus, boulengeri and solus) now limits Homopus to the four-toed species (areolatus and femoralis).

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 4, April 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Testing the impact of climate on diversification is a major goal of evolutionary biology. Birth‐death models like palaeoenvironment‐dependent diversification (PDD) models, for example, allow exploring the potential correlations between diversification dynamics and past environmental changes, such as temperature, among other abiotic ...

Rio Juruá: site 29 of Price’s expedition, and the first record of a Sebecidae (Notosuchia) for the Brazilian Solimões Formation [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasThe Solimões Formation is one of the most fossiliferous units of the Neogene to Pleistocene of South America. Its rocks represent fluvial lacustrine Paleo-Amazon environments providing a rich record of paleovertebrate remains, including fishes (e.g ...
