- Kinematic analyses of turning maneuvers in vertically climbing geckos
Qingfei Han, W B Wang, Huapeng Wu et al. · Current Zoology · 2026-06 · open access
Abstract Turning is instrumental for animal survival and ecological adaptation, particularly in predator–prey interactions. Geckos (Gekko gecko) are exceptional climbers and have been widely studied for their kinematics and biomechanics, especially in bioinspired robotics. However, the mechanisms…
- The influence of the pre- and post-natal environment on Tokay gecko (Gekko gecko, Squamata, Gekkonidae) development in captivity
Birgit Szabo · Herpetozoa · 2026-05 · open access
In captivity, reptiles often experience unnatural incubation and rearing conditions due to limited nest site choices, which can negatively impact individual development and welfare. Incubation temperature and humidity are especially critical for reptile development, influencing factors such as sex,…
- Can Physical Closeness Measure Variation and Change in Pair Association Strength in Captive Geckos?
Alena Krummenacher, Birgit Szabo · Animal Behavior and Cognition · 2026-05 · open access
Pair bonding is a key social behavior but remains understudied in reptiles despite a growing body of evidence suggesting that some species exhibit complex sociality. The lack of evidence regarding the expression of pair association in social lizard species hampers our understanding of its effects…
- Changes in housing and diet combined increase fecal oxyurid load in captive tokay geckos.
Gliga DS, Szabo B · PeerJ · 2026-03 · open access
Reptiles are increasingly popular as exotic pets and can suffer high mortality risks in captivity, yet research into their welfare remains limited. Commonly occurring practices such as frequent handling, changes in housing and diet could induce stress and increase parasite loads with potentially…

- High-Throughput Sequencing-Based Assessment of Intestinal Parasitic Infections in Economically and Medicinally Valuable Captive Tokay Gecko ( Gekko gecko ) and Chinese Blue-Tailed Skink ( Plestiodon chinensis ).
Yu Z, Xiong Y, Xie G et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2025-11 · open access
Captive reptiles bred for economic and medicinal purposes are often susceptible to intestinal parasites that undermine their health and overall farm productivity. In many regions, their economic value largely derives from medicinal use; accordingly, they are described as reptiles with medicinally…
- Tracing Genetic Divergence and Phylogeographic Patterns of Gekko gecko Linnaeus, 1758 (Squamata: Gekkonidae) Across Southeast Asia Using RAG1 Sequence.
Laotongsan P, Pilap W, Jaroenchaiwattanachote C et al. · Animals : an open access journal from MDPI · 2025-10 · open access
The tokay gecko ( Gekko gecko ) is a widely distributed lizard species in Southeast Asia, with significant importance in traditional medicine and the pet trade. Previous studies using mitochondrial DNA sequences revealed extensive genetic variation across its range, indicating the presence of…
- Genotypic and phenotypic evidence reveals the introduction of two distinct forms of the non-native reptile Gekko gecko to southern Florida

- Organization of the Auditory Brainstem in a Lizard, Gekko gecko. II. Afferent and Efferent Projections of Nuclei of the Lateral Lemniscus and the Torus Semicircularis.
Han D, Tang Y, Christensen-Dalsgaard J et al. · The Journal of comparative neurology · 2025-10 · open access
In reptiles, two taxa, lepidosaurs and archosaurs, have ears with thin tympanic membranes that permit sensitive hearing of high-frequency sounds in air. The organization of their central auditory systems may reflect this increased sensitivity to sound. To understand auditory processing in…

- Does the Post-Natal Social Environment Influence Cognitive Development in a Social Gecko?
Szabo B, Ringler E · Ecology and evolution · 2025-06 · open access
Background Cognition is a general term for all neural processes by which individuals collect, retain, process, and use information gathered from their environment through the use of exploration, exploitation, or evasion that can lead to changes in behavior with the potential to increase survival…

Dawei Han, Rebeca W. Fuquen, Katie L. Willis et al. · Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile Science · 2024-09 · open access
Location of sound sources is a fundamental task of the auditory system. Recent studies have shown that land vertebrates employ an array of sound localization strategies. We have therefore compared auditory brainstem circuits by measuring cell numbers in the cochlear nuclei in relation to brain…
