- Farmers' Perceptions of the Influence of Wildlife Biodiversity on Crop Yield in Dargué, Niger
Ado Salifou Hadiza, Malam Abdou Sabitou, Abarchi Idrissa et al. · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2026-09 · open access
Background: Wildlife biodiversity in agricultural fields can provide ecological functions that support crop production, while some species may also damage crops. This study assessed farmers' perceptions of the influence of wildlife biodiversity on crop yield in Dargué, Niger. Methods: Data were…
- A new Varanus species (Reptilia: Squamata: Varanidae) from the Early Pliocene of Langebaanweg, South Africa
Domenico Marchitelli, Andrea Villa, Marco Pavia et al. · Journal of Systematic Palaeontology · 2026-07 · open access
Varanid material from the Varswater Formation (Early Pliocene, 5.1 Ma) of Langebaanweg (LBW), Western Cape Province, South Africa, is described. The presence of Varanus in the LBW fauna was first reported by Hendey in 1981, but no further study has been conducted. The abundant material (consisting…

- Molecular evidence of Monocercomonas and Acanthamoeba in the feces of captive reptiles.
Tuska-Szalay B, Kelly H, Takács N et al. · Parasitology research · 2022-10 · open access
Reptiles are frequently kept as pet animals. They are considered as important reservoirs of protozoa with veterinary-medical significance. At a reptile farm in Ireland, fecal samples were collected from 98 captive reptiles, representing 43 species of three orders (Squamata, Testudines, and…

Ulbad Polycarpe Tougan, M Ouedraogo, RRA Assa et al. · Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) · 2021-03 · open access
Abstract Lizards (Varanidae) are a group of bushmeat consumed and sold in most markets in West Africa and is purchased in preference to domestic animals. The present study aims in general to characterize their uses. Therefore, 361 informants were surveyed in Benin, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast. It…
- Locomotor rib kinematics in two species of lizards and a new hypothesis for the evolution of aspiration breathing in amniotes.
Cieri RL, Hatch ST, Capano JG et al. · Scientific reports · 2020-05 · open access
Most lizards walk and run with a sprawling gait in which the limbs are partly advanced by lateral undulation of the axial skeleton. Ribs and vertebrae are integral to this locomotor mode, but 3D motion of the axial skeleton has not been reported for lizard locomotion. Here, we use XROMM to quantify…
