Trifold origin of the reptilian ear ossicle and its relation to the evolutionary modification of the temporal skull region. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Anat
The columella‐complex in reptile middle ears involves the footplate, columella shaft, and extracolumella. The latter is partly of quadrate developmental origin, whereas the footplate derives from the mesodermal otic capsule, the shaft and another part of the extracolumella from the hyoid arch.

Photoperiod-Dependent Effects of Phenolic-Enriched Fruit Extracts on Postprandial Triacylglyceride Levels and Acute Inflammatory Responses in F344 Rats. [PDF]

open access: yesMol Nutr Food Res
This study investigates the photoperiod‐dependent effects of eight phenolic‐rich fruit extracts on postprandial blood triacylglyceride (TAG) levels and serum inflammatory markers in F344 rats, following an oral lipid tolerance test (OLTT) and a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‐induced inflammatory challenge. Results showed that cherry and plum extracts reduced

Treerunners, cryptic lizards of the Plica plica group (Squamata, Sauria, Tropiduridae) of northern South America [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Connectivity among thermal habitats buffers the effects of warm climate on life‐history traits and population dynamics

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 91, Issue 11, Page 2301-2313, November 2022., 2022
Through its effects on movement, landscape fragmentation may influence the response of populations to climate change. This 3‐year‐long experiment on common lizards demonstrates that habitat connectivity can drastically change the impacts of warming on life‐history traits and population dynamics.

The relationship between hard and soft tissue structures of the eye in extant lizards

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 283, Issue 9, Page 1182-1199, September 2022., 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 ...

Morphological study of the integument and corporal skeletal muscles of two psammophilous members of Scincidae (Scincus scincus and Eumeces schneideri)

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 282, Issue 2, Page 230-246, February 2021., 2021
Photograph of holocrine glands between the folds of the skin of Scincus scincus. Compound osteoderms are located on both sides. The skin surface is visible on the upper right side. Abstract Sand deserts are common biotopes on the earth's surface. Numerous morphological and physiological adaptations have appeared to cope with the peculiar conditions ...
