- Phylogenetic assessment of Plasmodium ( Saurocytozoon ) tupinambi comb. nov. (Haemosporida, Plasmodiidae) in golden tegu lizards: shedding light on a long-standing Haemosporida taxonomic puzzle.
Picelli AM, Pacheco MA, Gonzalez AD et al. · Parasitology · 2025-05 · open access
Haemosporidians constitute a monophyletic group of vector-borne parasites that infect a wide range of vertebrate hosts, including Neotropical lizards. The remarkable diversity of these host-parasite associations and inadequate research on certain parasite groups have resulted in controversial…
- Untangling the Defiant Taxonomy of Physaloptera (Nematoda: Chromadorea: Spirurida: Physalopteridae) Parasites in Reptiles: An Integrative Approach on the Enigmatic P. retusa Suggests Cryptic Speciation
Lorena G. Ailán-Choke, Vanda Lúcia Ferreira, Fernando Paiva et al. · Taxonomy · 2024-05 · open access
(1) Background: Although Physaloptera retusa is one of the most widespread species infecting reptiles in the Americas, numerous taxonomic problems and little genetic data are associated with it. To clarify the taxonomy of this species, we used an integrative approach. (2) Methods: Physaloptera…
- AMAZONIA CAMTRAP: A data set of mammal, bird, and reptile species recorded with camera traps in the Amazon forest.
Antunes AC, Montanarin A, Gräbin DM et al. · Ecology · 2022-07 · open access
The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer-reviewed, and gray literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non-invasive method of surveying…

- Modeling the distributions of tegu lizards in native and potential invasive ranges.
Jarnevich CS, Hayes MA, Fitzgerald LA et al. · Scientific reports · 2018-07 · open access
Invasive reptilian predators can have substantial impacts on native species and ecosystems. Tegu lizards are widely distributed in South America east of the Andes, and are popular in the international live animal trade. Two species are established in Florida (U.S.A.) - Salvator merianae (Argentine…

The Brazil has an unquestionable importance in the setting of global biodiversity which makes it one of the countries most targeted to this which is the third largest illicit trade of the world, the trafficking of wild animals. Even with the recognition of technique as important tool in…
- Cryptic, Sympatric Diversity in Tegu Lizards of the Tupinambis teguixin Group (Squamata, Sauria, Teiidae) and the Description of Three New Species.
Murphy JC, Jowers MJ, Lehtinen RM et al. · PloS one · 2016-08 · open access
Tegus of the genera Tupinambis and Salvator are the largest Neotropical lizards and the most exploited clade of Neotropical reptiles. For three decades more than 34 million tegu skins were in trade, about 1.02 million per year. The genus Tupinambis is distributed in South America east of the Andes,…

Carvalho ND, Arias FJ, da Silva FA et al. · Comparative cytogenetics · 2015-10 · open access
Lizards of the family Teiidae (infraorder Scincomorpha) were formerly known as Macroteiidae. There are 13 species of such lizards in the Amazon, in the genera Ameiva (Meyer, 1795), Cnemidophorus (Wagler, 1830), Crocodilurus (Spix, 1825), Dracaena (Daudin, 1801), Kentropyx (Spix, 1825) and…
- New state record and distribution extension of the golden tegu Tupinambis teguixin (Linnaeus, 1758) (Squamata: Teiidae) to the Caatinga biome, northeastern Brazil
Daniel Cunha Passos, Frede Lima-Araujo, Ana Carolina Brasileiro Melo et al. · Check List · 2013-11 · open access
We expand the distribution of Tupinambis teguixin to the Caatinga biome, and report the first record of this species in Ceará state, northeastern Brazil. We found T. teguixin at a typical Caatinga habitat, approximately 215 km from the nearest locality with known record of the species. Our findings…
