Chemical signals in terrestrial vertebrates: search for design features
PJ Apps, PJ Weldon, M Kramer - Natural Product Reports, 2015 - pubs.rsc.org
Covering: 1950 to 2015 We compiled a data set of the compounds that terrestrial vertebrates
(amniotes) use to send chemical signals, and searched for relationships between signal …

Condition-dependent chemosignals in reproductive behavior of lizards
This article is part of a Special Issue “Chemosignals and Reproduction”. Many lizards have
diverse glands that produce chemosignals used in intraspecific communication and that can …

Pheromones and chemical communication in lizards
Pheromones have been defined, based on entomological studies, as chemicals or
semiochemicals produced by one individual that effect a change in the physiology …

Evolution and role of the follicular epidermal gland system in non-ophidian squamates
Many lizard and amphisbaenian lineages possess follicular glands in the dermis of the inner
thighs and/or the area anterior to the cloaca. These tubular glands produce a holocrine …

Are pheromones key to unlocking cryptic lizard diversity?
Animals use mating traits to compete for, attract, and choose mates. Because mating traits
influence mate choice, the divergence of mating traits between populations can result in …

Seasonal and reproductive variation in chemical constituents of scent signals in wild giant pandas
Seasonally reproducing animals show many behavioral and physiological changes during
the mating period, including increased signaling for intrasexual competition and mate …

Morph-specific protein patterns in the femoral gland secretions of a colour polymorphic lizard
M Mangiacotti, M Fumagalli, M Cagnone, S Viglio… - Scientific Reports, 2019 - nature.com
Colour polymorphism occurs when two or more genetically-based colour morphs
permanently coexist within an interbreeding population. Colouration is usually associated to …

Interpopulational variations in sexual chemical signals of Iberian wall lizards may allow maximizing signal efficiency under different climatic conditions
Sexual signals used in intraspecific communication are expected to evolve to maximize
efficacy under a given climatic condition. Thus, chemical secretions of lizards might evolve in …
