Measuring sound-induced motions of the alligator lizard cochlea
… of sound-induced motion of the alligator lizard cochlea. Novel methods were developed to maintain the cochlea in vitro for the time required to measure three-dimensional motions. Three-dimensional images of cochlear motion were taken by illuminating the cochlea with a light-emitting diode …

Gappy POD and Temporal Correspondence for Lizard Motion Estimation
… of collecting motion capture data of a running lizard. In our collected raw video footage, it is difficult to make temporal correspondences using interpolation methods because of prolonged blurriness, occlusion, or the limited field of vision of our cameras. To work around this, we first make a …

Phylogeography of the Night Lizard, Xantusia henshawi, from Southern California
<p>The granite night lizard, <em>Xantusia henshawi</em>, is a highly specialized crevice dwelling lizard found in the Peninsular Ranges of southern California, United States and northern Baja California, Mexico. Generally, little morphological variation is seen in this species over a variety of …

Life history and physiological ecology of the lizard, Cordylus Giganteus
… giganteus is a large, terrestrial, viviparous lizard, endemic to the Highveld grasslands of South Africa. Its distribution is limited and its conservation status is vulnerable. Autopsy and mark-recapture methods were used to study the seasonal aspects of its reproductive cycle, diet, energy …

Seasonal Changes in the Morphology of the Uterus of the Oviparous Lizard <em>Saproscincus mustelinus</em> and the Reproductively Bimodal Lizard <em>Saiphos equalis</em>.
<p>Among vertebrates, oviparity, a condition in which young at least partially develop outside the mother's body and are supported by yolk, is the ancestral state to viviparity, the reproductive mode in which embryos are fully developed at birth. Viviparity in reptiles is found only in the …

Genotypic and Phenotypic Variation of the Florida Scrub Lizard (Sceloporus Woodi)
… the phenotypic variation of the Florida scrub lizard by examining sprinting and jumping ability. These are key performance measures that have been widely studied in vertebrates. The vast majority of these studies, however, use methodologies that lack ecological context by failing to consider …

Thermal and Behavioral Ecology of the Mexican Beaded Lizard (Heloderma horridum)
… and thermal ecology of the Mexican beaded lizard (<em>Heloderma horridum</em>), which commonly weighs more than 1kg. This large body size means that this species has significant thermal inertia, which, depending on the characteristics of the immediate thermal gradient, can cause its …

Constraints on the Evolution of Viviparity in the Lizard Genus Sceloporus
… on the evolution of viviparity in the lizard genus Sceloporus by experimentally extending the length of egg retention past the normal time of oviposition for a number of oviparous species. Observations also included a representative of the genus Urosaurus, the sister genus to …

A Reexamination of the Eastern Collared Lizard (Crotaphytus collaris collaris) in Arkansas
… cause of species extinction. Eastern collared lizards (<em>Crotaphytus collaris collaris</em>) are habitat specialists on glades. Both <em>C. c. collaris</em> and glade habitats are rare and of special concern in the state of Arkansas. Many glade populations have already been extirpated in the …

Water and energy balance in the Namib sand-dune lizard, Angolosaurus skoogi
… water flux of the herbivorous Namib sand-dune lizard, Angolosaurus skoogi, was measured during the summer non-breeding period (early January) by means of doubly labelled water. FMR was about half that expected for a lizard of this size. Water flux and laboratory measured standard metabolic …

Habitat preferences of the eastern fence lizard, Sceloporus undulatus, in southwestern Virginia
Habitat preference of the eastern fence lizard, Sceloporus undulatus, was investigated in southwestern Virginia. Habitat features were measured at 158 lizard-centered plots and at paired random plots. Landscape-level variables, southerly aspect and mixed forest type, distinguished lizard-centered …
