Triploidy and mosaicism in Liolaemus chiliensis (Sauria: Tropiduridae)

Genome, 2006
A remarkable diversity of ploidy, i.e., diploidy, triploidy, and diploid–triploid mosaicism, was found among the somatic and testicular cells in a natural population of the lizard Liolaemus chiliensis from central Chile. Intra pop ulation, intersexual, and intraindividual ploidy variation is reported.

Iheringia. Série Zoologia, 2004
The sexual dimorphism in size, morphology and color of the lizard Liolaemus occipitalis Boulenger, 1885 was studied. Thirty-two adult males and twenty-eight adult females were sampled from a population in the Jardim do Éden beach, near Tramandaí, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Size related sexual dimorphism occurred in all compared body dimensions.

The vector ecology of introduced Culex quinquefasciatus populations, and implications for future risk of West Nile virus emergence in the Galápagos archipelago

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 44-55, March 2019., 2019
Invasive mosquito species can transmit novel disease pathogens; Culex quinquefasciatus Say is a recent invader of the Galápagos archipelago, where it has been found on five of the islands. In Galápagos, high temperatures limit C. quinquefasciatus abundance, and water salinity hinders larval development.

Intraspecific variation in morphology and sexual dimorphism in Liolaemus tenuis (Tropiduridae)

Amphibia-Reptilia, 2005
Abstract Liolaemus tenuis is a widely distributed arboreal lizard species in central-southern Chile. Although two subspecies, L. t. tenuis and L. t. punctatissimus, have been described based on sexual dimorphism, their characteristic have not been accurately demarcated.

Anatomy, morphology and evolution of the patella in squamate lizards and tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus)

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 228, Issue 5, Page 864-876, May 2016., 2016
Abstract The patella (kneecap) is the largest and best‐known of the sesamoid bones, postulated to confer biomechanical advantages including increasing joint leverage and reinforcing the tendon against compression. It has evolved several times independently in amniotes, but despite apparently widespread occurrence in lizards, the patella remains poorly ...
