In response to complaints of property damage from residents and threats to native species, local officials and the US Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services began a removal ...
متن کاملA New Spiny-tailed Iguana from Honduras, with Comments on Relationships within Ctenosaura (Squamata: Iguania)
Ctenosaura oedirhina is described from specimens formerly referred to C. bakeri collected on Isla de Roatán, Honduras. A phylogenetic analysis of relationships within Ctenosaura based on 21 morphological characters indicates that although the new species is part of a monophyletic subgroup also containing C. bakeri, C. clarki, C. defensor, C. palearis, and C. quinquecarinata, it may not be the c...

متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Splicing Form of Amelogenin Gene in a Reptile, Ctenosaura similis
Amelogenin, the major enamel matrix protein in tooth development, has been demonstrated to play a significant role in tooth enamel formation. Previous studies have identified the alternative splicing of amelogenin in many mammalian vertebrates as one mechanism for amelogenin heterogeneous expression in teeth. While amelogenin and its splicing forms in mammalian vertebrates have been cloned and ...
