Birds and mammals generate heat to regulate body temperature, but most non-avian reptiles cannot. The discovery of endothermy during the reproductive period of a tegu lizard sheds light on the ...

Climate change could see dozens of lizard species becoming extinct within the next 50 years, according to new research. The often one-directional evolutionary adaptation of certain lizard species' ...

LINCOLN, England, March 6 (UPI) -- Global warming could lead to extinction within 50 years of lizard species whose embryos are retained with their mothers' bodies, British researchers say. Dozens of ...

Geckos and lizards, though similar, have distinct differences. All geckos are lizards, but not all lizards are geckos. Geckos are typically smaller with unique toe pads for climbing, nocturnal habits, ...

For a normal reproductive cycle to occur, female Lacerta sicula must be exposed to a relatively low temperature during the autumn season. When animals captured between September and January are held ...

Why Spiny-Tailed Lizards Turn Omnivore When Seasons Change (Image: IISc) Researchers from IISc have found that spiny-tailed lizards living in desert environments carefully adjust their diet and ...

Researchers have bred a new species of all-female lizard, mimicking a process that has happened naturally in the past but has never been directly observed. "It's recreating the events that lead to new ...

More than 40 years ago, Bill Neaves, then a young Ph.D. student, discovered how an all-female, asexual species of the whiptail lizard came to be. He found that the lizard was a cross between the ...

Climate change could lead to dozens of species of lizards becoming extinct within the next 50 years, according to new research published today. Globally it has been observed that lizards with ...

While there is no doubt that climate change is affecting many organisms, some species might be more sensitive than others. Reptiles, whose body temperature depends directly on environmental ...
