Cryptosporidium varanii infection in leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius) in Argentina
Cryptosporidiosis is observed in reptiles with high morbidity and considerable mortality. The objective of this study was to achieve the molecular identification of Cryptosporidium spp. in pet leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius) from a breeder colony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Oocysts comparable to those of Cryptosporidium spp. were detected in three geckos with a history of diarrhea, anor...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent sex determination in the leopard gecko, Eublepharis macularius.
The leopard gecko, Eublepharis macularius, has temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD). Previous reports have shown that females are produced predominantly at cool incubation temperatures and males are produced predominantly at warm incubation temperatures (Pattern Ib). We report here that incubation at even higher temperatures (34 and 35 degrees C) produces mostly females (Pattern II). T...
متن کاملDraft genome of the leopard gecko, Eublepharis macularius
BACKGROUND Geckos are among the most species-rich reptile groups and the sister clade to all other lizards and snakes. Geckos possess a suite of distinctive characteristics, including adhesive digits, nocturnal activity, hard, calcareous eggshells, and a lack of eyelids. However, one gecko clade, the Eublepharidae, appears to be the exception to most of these 'rules' and lacks adhesive toe pads...
متن کاملMultiple Mating Increases Fecundity, Fertility and Relative Clutch Mass in the Female Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)
The role of mating systems and alternative sexual strategies is fundamental to the study of sexual selection theory. Although they conflict with the traditional view of females as the coy sex, recent studies have revealed that females of different taxa often mate with several different males within one reproductive bout (Schenk & Kovacs 1995; Zane et al. 1999; Lank et al. 2002; Prosser et al. 2...
متن کاملSocial experience affects territorial and reproductive behaviours in male leopard geckos, Eublepharis macularius
Social interactions have lasting effects on behaviour and physiology in a variety of organisms. In the leopard gecko, Eublepharis macularius, social experience alters neural metabolism and elevates circulating concentrations of androgens. In this study, we assessed the effects of social experience (housing with females versus housing in isolation) on the expression of social behaviours in male ...
