Draft genome of the leopard gecko, Eublepharis macularius
BACKGROUND Geckos are among the most species-rich reptile groups and the sister clade to all other lizards and snakes. Geckos possess a suite of distinctive characteristics, including adhesive digits, nocturnal activity, hard, calcareous eggshells, and a lack of eyelids. However, one gecko clade, the Eublepharidae, appears to be the exception to most of these 'rules' and lacks adhesive toe pads...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent sex determination in the leopard gecko, Eublepharis macularius.
The leopard gecko, Eublepharis macularius, has temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD). Previous reports have shown that females are produced predominantly at cool incubation temperatures and males are produced predominantly at warm incubation temperatures (Pattern Ib). We report here that incubation at even higher temperatures (34 and 35 degrees C) produces mostly females (Pattern II). T...
متن کاملMultiple Mating Increases Fecundity, Fertility and Relative Clutch Mass in the Female Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)
The role of mating systems and alternative sexual strategies is fundamental to the study of sexual selection theory. Although they conflict with the traditional view of females as the coy sex, recent studies have revealed that females of different taxa often mate with several different males within one reproductive bout (Schenk & Kovacs 1995; Zane et al. 1999; Lank et al. 2002; Prosser et al. 2...
متن کاملAntipredatory reaction of the leopard gecko Eublepharis macularius to snake predators
Ability to recognize a risk of predation and react with adaptive antipredatory behavior can enhance fitness, but has some costs as well. Animals can either specifically react on the most dangerous predators (threat-sensitive avoidance) or they have safe but costly general wariness avoiding all potential predators. The level of threat may depend on the predator's foraging ecology and distributio...
متن کاملNeural substrates for sexual and thermoregulatory behavior in the male leopard gecko, Eublepharis macularius.
The preoptic area-anterior hypothalamus (POAH) continuum is critical for the integration of environmental, physiological, and behavioral cues associated with reproduction in vertebrates. In the present study, radiofrequency lesions in the POAH abolished sexual behavior in the leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius). Furthermore, results suggest a differential effect of POAH lesions on those beha...
