Systematic Composition of the Eutropis Multifasciata (Kuhl.
Resolving the higher-order phylogenetic relationships of the circumtropical Mabuya group (Squamata: Scincidae): An out-of-Asia diversification Benjamin R. Karin, Margarita Metallinou, Jeffrey L.
We chose taxa from each major lineage within the Mabuya group, including eight species of Eutropis, with one from each major subclade identified by Barley et al. (2015): E. novemcarinata, E.longicaudata, E. multifasciata, E. rudis, E. rugifera, E. indeprensa, E. dissimilis, and E. macularia; two species of Dasia: D. vittata and D. olivacea; two species of the Middle-Eastern group of.
Mabuya group together with Mabuya and a few other African and Australian genera. Of these, the former three taxa had. logenetic relationships and classification of lygosomine skinks, and most of relevant arguments have depended on morpho-. Mabuya longicaudata, M. multifasciata and M. rudis), and two African Mabuya (M. quiquetaeniata and M.
The stomach contents of 126 lizards of the species Hemidactylus frenatus, Gekko gecko L., Draco spilopterus, Calotes marmoratus, Mabuya multifasciata and Tropidophorus grayi, were examined and in all cases insects formed the main bulk of the food. In a few cases spiders and small crustaceans were found. The lizards apparently fed more on noxious insects than on harmless ones, the chief food.
Is the evolution of viviparity accompanied by a relative increase in maternal abdomen size, thus allowing viviparous females to increase the amount of space for eggs? To answer this question, we compared morphology and reproductive output between oviparous and viviparous species using three pairs of lizards, which included two Eremias, two Eutropis and two Phrynocephalus species with.
