Burmese pythons (Python molurus bivittatus) are native to southeastern Asia, however, there
is an established invasive population inhabiting much of southern Florida throughout the …

Bioimaging is changing the field of sensory biology, especially for taxa that are lesser‐
known, rare, and logistically difficult to source. When integrated with traditional …

Body growth is typically thought to be indeterminate in ectothermic vertebrates. Indeed, until
recently, this growth pattern was considered to be ubiquitous in ectotherms. Our recent …

Osteoderms, also called dermal armour, often play a role in predator defence. The presence
of osteoderms is highly irregularly distributed across the squamate phylogeny and they have …

We present the first estimate of population dynamics parameters for critically endangered
Galápagos pink land iguanas, Conolophus marthae, leveraging mark‐recapture data …

Squamate reptiles have been considered to be indeterminate growers for a long time.
However, recent studies demonstrate that bone prolongation is stopped in many lizards by …

In this study, to explore the effect of growth hormone changes on the related genes and
regulatory roles of the turtle, PCR amplification, real-time fluorescence quantitative analysis …

In this study, the life–history traits of Eremias pleskei are presented for the first time. A total of
27 samples (17♂♂ and 10♀♀) from Iğdır Province, Türkiye, were aged using …

Ectothermic vertebrates such as reptiles were assumed to be indeterminate growers, which
means that there is no terminal point in time or size for growth in their lifetime. In recent …

In contrast to mammals and birds, reptiles have been considered as indeterminate growers,
whose growth reflects differential allocation of resources to growth versus other energetically …
