Assessing ontogenetic maturity in extinct saurian reptiles
Morphology forms the most fundamental level of data in vertebrate palaeontology because it
is through interpretations of morphology that taxa are identified, creating the basis for broad …

Phylogenomics of monitor lizards and the role of competition in dictating body size disparity
Organismal interactions drive the accumulation of diversity by influencing species ranges,
morphology, and behavior. Interactions vary from agonistic to cooperative and should result …

Molecular evidence for an Asian origin of monitor lizards followed by Tertiary dispersals to Africa and Australasia
Monitor lizards are emblematic reptiles that are widely distributed in the Old World. Although
relatively well studied in vertebrate research, their biogeographic history is still controversial …
