- Divergent structural trajectories for pallial regionalization within reptiles reveal conserved evolutionary blueprints.
Jiménez S, Moreno-Cerdá A, Moreno-Bravo JA et al. · Cerebral cortex (New York, N.Y. : 1991) · 2026-09 · open access
The pallium is the evolutionary precursor of the neocortex and a central brain region underlying learning or social behavior, yet its histogenetic organization and cellular composition remain debated. Reptiles provide a key comparative framework to investigate pallial diversification and ancestral…
- Molecular Responses to Temperature Changes Across Timescales in the Madagascar Ground Gecko (Paroedura picta).
Sakamoto F, Kanamori S, Rakotondraparany F et al. · Molecular ecology · 2026-01 · open access
Short-term responses to temperature stress, such as heat waves and long-term acclimation to temperature changes, including seasonal shifts, are expected to be mediated by distinct molecular pathways. However, in ectotherms, such as reptiles, the effects of exposure duration on molecular responses…
- The wide gape of snakes: A comparison of the developing mandibular symphysis in sauropsids.
Basa M, Anthwal N, Felice RN et al. · Journal of anatomy · 2025-10 · open access
The origin and evolution of snakes has been marked by the acquisition of many morphological and functional novelties, one of which is the possession of a highly kinetic skull allowing for the consumption of prey that are often larger than their head diameter. One feature of the iconic wide gape of…

- Comparative Cytogenetics of the Malagasy Ground Geckos of the Paroedura bastardi and Paroedura picta Species Groups.
Mezzasalma M, Odierna G, Macirella R et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2024-06 · open access
We present a comparative chromosome study of several taxa of the Malagasy ground geckos of the Paroedura bastardi and P. picta species groups. We employed a preliminary molecular analysis using a trait of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene (of about 570 bp) to assess the taxonomic status of the…

- Lizard growth and the ontogeny of sexual size dimorphism
Brandon Meter · Digital Repository (National Repository of Grey Literature) · 2024-01
- Development of male-larger sexual size dimorphism in a lizard: IGF1 peak long after sexual maturity overlaps with pronounced growth in males.
Meter B, Kratochvíl L, Kubička L et al. · Frontiers in physiology · 2022-08 · open access
Squamate reptiles have been considered to be indeterminate growers for a long time. However, recent studies demonstrate that bone prolongation is stopped in many lizards by the closure of bone growth plates. This shift in the paradigm of lizard growth has important consequences for questions…
