- Epiblast lumenogenesis is not a mammalian-specific trait.
Weberling A, Shylo NA, Wilson H et al. · Nature communications · 2026-06 · open access
Epiblast lumenogenesis is a hallmark of mammalian embryogenesis, and crucial for the subsequent processes of anterior-posterior patterning and gastrulation. Based on avian model-organisms, reptile epiblasts are thought to form a monolayered flat disc to undergo these developmental events. Here, we…

The veiled chameleon, Chamaeleo calyptratus, is a model organism in the study of reptile development. The extreme size of its cranial casque relative to other chameleons has been linked to high bite forces and conspecific signaling, yet its unique head anatomy has not been described. In general,…

- 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 Sonographic Studies of the Urogenital Tract in Lizards.
Klützow NB, Schmidt V · Veterinary radiology & ultrasound : the official journal of the American College of Veterinary Radiology and the International Veterinary Radiology Association · 2025-09 · open access
The assessment of the urogenital tract is of great importance in the diagnosis of diseases in lizards, and sonographic examination is the most suitable imaging method for this purpose. However, reference data are not available for most of the commonly kept species. The objective of this prospective…

- Widespread Contamination by Anticoagulant Rodenticides in Insectivorous Wildlife from the Canary Islands: Exploring Alternative Routes of Exposure.
Martín Cruz B, Acosta Dacal A, Macías-Montes A et al. · Toxics · 2025-06 · open access
Research on anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) in wildlife has primarily focused on apex predators, with less attention given to their potential integration into lower trophic levels and the associated exposure pathways. At the base of the terrestrial food web, invertebrates have been suggested as…

- Identifying Pareto‐efficient eradication strategies for invasive populations
Amy A. Yackel Adams, Nathan J. Hostetter, William A. Link et al. · Conservation Letters · 2024-09 · open access
Abstract Invasive species are a major cause of biodiversity loss and are notoriously expensive and challenging to manage. We developed a decision‐analytic framework for evaluating invasive species removal strategies, given objectives of maximizing eradication probability and minimizing costs. The…
- Features of topography and macroscopic structure of the digestive organs of the Yemeni chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus)
М. М. Kushch, Serhii Skachko, Iryna Fesenko et al. · Ukrainian journal of veterinary sciences · 2024-04 · open access
The relevance of this study is conditioned by the lack of detailed information on the structure and topography of the digestive organs of the Yemeni chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus). The purpose of this study was to find out the specific features of changes in body weight, topography, and…
- Morphological evidence for the physiological nature of follicular atresia in veiled chameleons (Chamaeleo calyptratus).
Dervas E, Cigler P, Hatt JM et al. · Animal reproduction science · 2023-12 · open access
Follicular atresia (FA) has been assumed to serve different functions in reptiles, e.g. helping to develop hierarchies, limiting clutch size, and regression of ovarian structures. Reproductive output is dependent on a balance between ovulations and FA. Excessive rates of FA may not only be…

- Morphological changes and two Nodal paralogs drive left-right asymmetry in the squamate veiled chameleon ( C. calyptratus ).
Shylo NA, Smith SE, Price AJ et al. · Frontiers in cell and developmental biology · 2023-04 · open access
Introduction Asymmetries are deeply rooted in the phylogenetic tree and are frequently driven by the ancient Nodal signaling cascade. For example, Nodal drives the asymmetric positioning of asexual buds in radially symmetric hydra. A duplication event resulted in two Nodal genes in gnathostomes,…
