Treerunners, cryptic lizards of the Plica plica group (Squamata, Sauria, Tropiduridae) of northern South America [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2013 The arboreal, Neotropical lizard Plica plica (Linnaeus, 1758) has been long considered a widespread species with a distribution east of the Andes. A preliminary examination of 101 specimens from about 28 locations mostly north of the Amazon suggests that

The relationship between hard and soft tissue structures of the eye in extant lizards. [PDF]
J Morphol, 2022 The sizes of the eye structures are important factors for the visual sensitivity. Strong correlations were found between the size of the scleral ossicle ring and soft tissue structures in extant squamates eyes. These correlations will allow reliable estimations of soft structures and inferences on the visual sensitivity and mode of life in fossil ...

Ancient Introgression Explains Mitochondrial Genome Capture and Mitonuclear Discordance Among South American Collared Tropidurus Lizards. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Mitonuclear discordance—evolutionary discrepancies between mitochondrial and nuclear DNA phylogenies—can arise from various factors, including introgression, incomplete lineage sorting, recent or ancient demographic fluctuations, sex‐biased dispersal asymmetries, among others.

Closer to the Heart: Cardiac Muscle Aerobic Capacity Correlates With Intraspecific Variation in Sprint Performance Rather Than Androgen Levels in the Neotropical Lizard Tropidurus catalanensis. [PDF]
J Exp Zool A Ecol Integr PhysiolIn male lizards Tropidurus catalanensis, sprint locomotor performance correlates with cardiac aerobic capacity. ABSTRACT Assessments of the interplay between physiology and whole‐organism performance are fundamental to understand how individuals function in different ecological contexts.
