A genome draft of the legless anguid lizard, Ophisaurus gracilis
BACKGROUND Transition from a lizard-like to a snake-like body form is one of the most important transformations in reptilian evolution. The increasing number of sequenced reptilian genomes is enabling a deeper understanding of vertebrate evolution, although the genetic basis of the loss of limbs in reptiles remains enigmatic. Here we report genome sequencing, assembly, and annotation for the As...
متن کاملEcology and Behaviour of Burton’s Legless Lizard (Lialis burtonis, Pygopodidae) in Tropical Australia
Many lizard lineages exhibit bodily elongation and concomitant limb reduction. This morphotype has evolved independently in numerous taxa, including amphisbaenians, anguids, cordyl ids , dibamids, diploglossids, gerrhosaurids, skinks, and teiids (Greer, 1991). Of the phylogenetic lineages that have undergone major adaptive radiations subsequent to limb loss, by far the most speciose and diverse...
متن کاملChemistry and Antiviral Activity of Arrabidaea pulchra (Bignoniaceae).
The aim of the present work was to carry out a bioguided isolation of antiviral chemical constituents from an ethanol extract of leaves from Arrabidaea pulchra (Cham.) Sandwith (EEAPL) that had shown in vitro activity in a previous screening using DNA and RNA viruses. The activity of EEPAL was evaluated against the DNA viruses Human herpesvirus 1 (HSV-1) and Vaccinia virus Western Reserve (VACV...
متن کاملLegless Locomotion: Concept and Analysis
This thesis presents a novel locomotion technique, called legless locomotion, for convex-bodied legged robots. The motivation for studying legless locomotion stems from the mobile robot recovery problem, stated simply as what should a robot do when trapped? Legless locomotion is the technique of locomotion for a legged robot which has no leg-ground contact, but can use the swinging legs to exci...
متن کاملLength–weight allometries in lizards
Body shape and body size are hugely important for the understanding of multiple ecological phenomena. In order to study and compare sizes across taxa and to understand the ecological significance of shape differences, there is a need for ways to ‘translate’ different size measurements to a common metric. Body mass is the most useful such common index for size across taxa. Based on a large (4900...
