A morphometric study of Eutrombicula alfreddugesi (Acari: Trombiculidae) infesting four sympatric species of Tropidurus (Squamata: Tropiduridae) in northeastern Brazil [PDF]
We undertook a sampling program to understand the extent of morphological variation in Eutrombicula alfreddugesi among the fourhost species of Tropidurus at Morro do Chapéu, Brazil.

Integrating comparative spectrometry, image analysis, and thermal modeling, we reveal that (1) females optimize crypsis via background matching, (2) males prioritize high‐contrast disruptive patterning at a significant thermoregulatory cost (reduced solar heat gain), and (3) habitat‐specific monomorphism in Diploderma slowinskii underscores ecological ...

Uma nova espécie de Tropidurus (Squamata : Tropiduridae) do litoral sul do Brasil e revisão do status taxonômico de Tropidurus catalanensis Gudynas & Skuk, 1983 [PDF]
Os lagartos Tropidurus do grupo torquatus são espécies heliófilas, extremamente abundantes nos vários tipos de formações abertas da América do Sul cisandina. O gênero tem história taxonômica complexa.

The terrestrial reptile fauna of the Abrolhos Archipelago: species list and ecological aspects [PDF]
We have studied the terrestrial reptile fauna of the Abrolhos Archipelago (a group of five islands located ca. 70 km off the southern coast of the State of Bahia, Brazil) and analyze here some of its ecological aspects such as diet, thermal ecology ...

Territory quality and male dominance in Tropidurus torquatus (Squamata, Tropiduridae) [PDF]
In territorial species, females are often attracted by high-quality territories, which are expected to be owned by males that successfully won competition with other males.

Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...
