Meagher P, Cincotta J, Phan HTH et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2026-02 · open access
The illegal wildlife trade is a global problem that continues to harm individuals, wildlife populations, ecosystems, and humans at an increasing rate. While efforts are underway globally to address the issue through a coordinated approach, the testing of new technologies in real-world settings…
- Nannizziopsis pluriseptata -Associated Skin Lesions in a Shingleback Skink ( Tiliqua rugosa ) and Spiny-Tailed Skinks ( Egernia depressa ) in Australia.
Palma Jauregui VA, Shaw S, Schader J et al. · Veterinary sciences · 2026-02 · open access
Both captive and free-living reptiles are susceptible to infection by fungi from the Nannizziopsis genus and are prone to developing severe lesions that can affect skin and deeper tissues, becoming multi-systemic. With Australia having close to 1000 reptile species-of which 93% are endemic-the…

- From anecdote to evidence: experimental validation of fire-cue recognition in Australian sleepy lizards.
Jolly CJ, Nimmo DG, Carthey AJR et al. · Biology letters · 2025-09 · open access
Fire has shaped the evolution of both plants and animals. Animals exposed to fire throughout their evolutionary history are predicted to exhibit behavioural adaptations that enhance survival during fire. Here, we investigated whether Australian sleepy lizards ( Tiliqua rugosa ), a large skink from…

- Squamate reptiles may have compensated for the lack of γδTCR with a duplication of the TRB locus.
Sampson JM, Morrissey KA, Mikolajova KJ et al. · Frontiers in immunology · 2025-01 · open access
Squamate reptiles are amongst the most successful terrestrial vertebrate lineages, with over 10,000 species across a broad range of ecosystems. Despite their success, squamates are also amongst the least studied lineages immunologically. Recently, a universal lack of γδ T cells in squamates due to…
