Because it is the sister clade of the viviparous Sceloporus formosus group, we predicted that mem-bers of the S. spinosus group would exhibit extended egg retention and other features associated with the evolution of viviparity. Determinan una nueva forma de Sceloporus jarrovi (Sceloporus jarrovi cyanostictus) para el estado de Coahuila, pero muy cerca de los límites con el estado de Nuevo León.

Studies on endo- and ectoparasites of Canarian Lizards. Abstract We studied the reproductive characteristics of the spiny lizards, Sceloporus horridus and Sceloporus spinosus (Phrynosomatidae). Sexual dimorphism in the genus Sceloporus has historically been relatively well studied; however, there is little understanding of how patterns of sexual size dimorphism might vary within species and how that might affect our ability to generalize about the evolution of sexual size-dimorphism in Sceloporus and other organisms.

Además, agrega por primera vez a Sceloporus spinosus spinosus para la fauna herpetológica del estado. We tested these ideas using the Sceloporus spinosus group. Our measurement, made using atom interferometry, shows that the attraction between atoms and the test mass does not differ appreciably from Newtonian gravity. Maximum stage at oviposition varied within same clutch, same locality, and among localities. The number of vertebrae differs between species, with 27–35 presacral and 47–137 postsacral vertebrae. JSTOR is part of ITHAKA, a not-for-profit organization helping the academic community use digital technologies to preserve the scholarly record and to advance research and teaching in sustainable ways. Although the number of floating and abdominal ribs in varanids is variable, most species examined have three to four cervical ribs and three true ribs. All rights reserved.

IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, , Centro de Investigaciones Biológicas del Noro-, 1. The maximum stage observed was therefore used as an index of egg retention for each clutch. Since 1982, Herpetological Monographs has been dedicated to original research about the biology, diversity, systematics and evolution of amphibians and reptiles. Sceloporus spinosus is a species of reptiles with 1342 observations Access scientific knowledge from anywhere. To test this idea, we examined the ability to retain eggs past the time of normal oviposition in the Sceloporus spinosus group and evaluated the association between egg retention and physiological and environmental factors in a historical context. This work uses gross dissection and computed tomography to describe the muscular. Although more basic muscle descriptions of the body wall in reptiles are needed, comparisons with the condition in the green iguana (Iguana iguana) can be made. Gross muscle dissections were conducted to investigate the axial muscular anatomy of Varanus exanthematicus, Varanus giganteus, Varanus rosenbergi, and Varanus panoptes. Taxonomía.

Computed tomography scans of these and additional varanid lizards from the Varanus and Odatria subgenera were conducted to investigate rib and vertebral number and gross morphology. Ejemplares … Mex. Reduction in the thickness of the eggshell, in relative clutch mass (RCM), and in clutch frequency would have facilitated the transition from oviparity to viviparity, while low temperatures are likely the ultimate selective force that promoted this evolutionary shift.

We estimated the normal stage of embryos at oviposition and the stage at oviposition when females were induced to retain eggs under captive conditions. and skeletal anatomy of the trunk of varanid lizards (Varanidae, Anguimorpha).

Reino. As we approached. Instead, mapping the maximum stage at oviposition on a phylogeny of the S. spinosus group suggested that the invasion of high elevations was associated with an enhanced potential for longer periods of egg retention. The body wall has four main hypaxial layers, from superficial to deep: oliquus externus, intercostalis externi, intercostalis internii, and transversus.
