Synopsis Pygopodids are elongate, functionally limbless geckos found throughout Australia. The clade presents low taxonomic diversity (?45 spp.), but a variety of cranial morphologies, habitat use, and locomotor abilities that vary between within genera. In order to assess potential relationships morphology ecology, computed tomography scans 29 species were used for 3D geometric morphometric an...

227 in Western Province, the 2000 wet season lasted well into July. Nevertheless, humidity levels were moderate (50–60%), and the environment was generally dry and warm (29–31°C). Though we have no direct evidence of the diet of this python in PNG, there were numerous geckos (Hemidactylus frenatus) between the same metal sheets. The live specimen was left in the live collection at the Papua New...

Models of otoacoustic emission (OAE) generation mechanisms often attribute important features of OAEs to waves traveling along the cochlear partition. Since the lizard basilar papilla manifests no obvious analog of the mammalian traveling wave, detailed characterization of lizard OAEs offers an important opportunity to test and extend our knowledge of emission mechanisms. We report otoacoustic ...
