Some colourful lizards and a mathematical formula from the finance sector have been used to build a new framework to model evolution. Developed by Dr Simone Blomberg from The University of ...

For more than a century, biologists assumed that the bony plates embedded in the skin of lizards – like natural chain mail – ...

The fossil record of squamates, encompassing both lizards and snakes, provides an intricate account of evolutionary innovation over millions of years. Fossils elucidate key morphological transitions, ...

(THE CONVERSATION) Every morning in Miami, our fieldwork begins the same way. Fresh Cuban coffee and pastelitos – delicious Latin American pastries – fuel our team for another day of evolutionary ...

“Interestingly, we found that jaw shape evolves particularly fast in ecologically specialised groups, such as in burrowing and aquatic species, and in herbivorous lizards, suggesting that evolutionary ...

In tropical climates, lizards are everywhere. It can be a bit wild to see, and they come in all shapes and sizes. They seem a tad superfluous in such large varieties leaving one to wonder, what ...

(THE CONVERSATION) We are lizard biologists, and to do our work we need to catch lizards – never an easy task with such fast, agile creatures. Years ago, one of us was in the Bahamas chasing a ...

Every morning in Miami, our fieldwork begins the same way. Fresh Cuban coffee and pastelitos—delicious Latin American pastries—fuel our team for another day of evolutionary detective work. Here we're ...
