Impacts of alien species on human health have recently become a major issue in medical
research and invasion ecology, but comprehensive assessments of this subject are largely …

Abstract The genus Hemidactylus in Angola is represented by six species, all of them part of
taxonomically and nomenclaturally challenging species complexes. We present a detailed …

Abstract Geckos in the Western Hemisphere provide an excellent model to study faunal
assembly at a continental scale. We generated a time‐calibrated phylogeny, including …

We present a comprehensive summary of the distribution of the lizards of Iran accompanied
by an annotated checklist. The updated maps of distribution of all 146 species of 41 genera …

Alien species are among the greatest threats to biodiversity, but the evolutionary origins of
invasiveness remain obscure. We conducted the first range-wide sampling of Hemidactylus …

The geological history of the Arabian Peninsula has played a crucial role in shaping current
diversity and distribution patterns of many Arabian and African faunal elements. The gecko …

Conserving the planet's biodiversity is greatly handicapped, in that only a small fraction of it
(∼ 14–75%) has been described so far. Integrative taxonomy is making significant inroads …

Aim We provide a new quantitative analysis of lizard reproductive ecology. Comparative
studies of lizard reproduction to date have usually considered life‐history components …

Abstract The India–Asia collision profoundly influenced the climate, topography and
biodiversity of Asia, causing the formation of the biodiverse Himalayas. The species-rich …

I discuss the taxonomy, distribution, and conservation of the lizards, crocodiles, and turtles
occurring in the Central American country of Honduras. This is the fourth and final work in …
