- Metabolic consequences of sex reversal in two lizard species: a test of the like-genotype and like-phenotype hypotheses.
Wild KH, Roe JH, Schwanz L et al. · The Journal of experimental biology · 2023-07 · open access
INTRODUCTION Sex determination in vertebrates is highly variable, ranging from genotypic sex determination (GSD) where sex is established by sex chromosomes, to environmental sex determination (ESD) where sex is primarily influenced by prevailing environmental conditions. For some species, these…

Steiner N, Ludewig E, Tebrün W et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2023-05 · open access
Three different digital detector systems were used to study the effect of a defined radiation dose reduction on the image quality of digital radiographs in bearded dragons ( Pogona vitticeps ). A series of radiographs of seven bearded-dragon cadavers with a body mass ranging from 132 g to 499 g…
- Individual variation within wild populations of an arid-zone lizard dictates oxidative stress levels despite exposure to sublethal pesticides.
Contador-Kelsall I, Maute K, de Beer M et al. · Ecotoxicology (London, England) · 2023-04 · open access
The relationship between sublethal pesticide exposure and oxidative stress in an ecologically relevant field setting is relatively unknown for reptiles. Oxidative stress is a multi-faceted concept that dictates key survival and fitness parameters in any organism. Fipronil and fenitrothion are two…

- Interhemispheric competition during sleep.
Fenk LA, Riquelme JL, Laurent G · Nature · 2023-03 · open access
Our understanding of the functions and mechanisms of sleep remains incomplete, reflecting their increasingly evident complexity 1-3 . Likewise, studies of interhemispheric coordination during sleep 4-6 are often hard to connect precisely to known sleep circuits and mechanisms. Here, by recording…

- Clinical presentation and disease prevalence of captive central bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) at veterinary clinics in Australia.
Sollom HJ, Baron HR · Australian veterinary journal · 2023-03 · open access
Central bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) are one of the most popular reptile pets in Australia and around the world. Diseases, including metabolic bone disease, periodontal disease, and gastrointestinal endoparasites commonly affect captive animals. To determine the common reasons these lizards…

Barboza TK, Susta L, Zur Linden A et al. · PloS one · 2023-02 · open access
Objectives To evaluate the association between plasma metabolites, biochemical analytes, diagnostic imaging findings, and the histologic diagnosis of hepatic lipidosis in bearded dragons. To assess the effects of gemfibrozil therapy on hepatic lipid accumulation and associated diagnostic tests.…

- Temperature-robust rapid eye movement and slow wave sleep in the lizard Laudakia vulgaris.
Albeck N, Udi DI, Eyal R et al. · Communications biology · 2022-11 · open access
During sleep our brain switches between two starkly different brain states - slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. While this two-state sleep pattern is abundant across birds and mammals, its existence in other vertebrates is not universally accepted, its evolutionary emergence…

Casey McGrath · Genome Biology and Evolution · 2022-07 · open access
An animal’s skin, fur, or feather colors can either be used to attract attention or avoid it, allowing individuals to entice a mate or to escape detection by predators. Pigmentation may also affect physiological features such as thermoregulation and susceptibility to UV damage. All of these…
