Comparative Chromosome Painting and NOR Distribution Suggest a Complex Hybrid Origin of Triploid Lepidodactylus lugubris (Gekkonidae)
Parthenogenesis, unisexuality and triploidy are interesting but poorly studied phenomena occurring in some reptile species. The mourning gecko (Lepidodactylus lugubris) represents a complex of diploid and triploid parthenogenetic mostly all-female populations (males occur quite rarely) widely distributed in coastal areas of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Here, we study karyotypes of a male and ...
متن کاملInvasions and Competitive Displacement among House Geckos in the Tropical Pacific'
Since the 1 930s the common house gecko, Hemidactylus frenatus, a sexual species, has been inadvertently introduced to many tropical Pacific islands. Using markrecapture censuses and visual gecko searches we found that Lepidodactylus lugubris, an asexual gecko previously common on these islands, is nearly 800% more abundant on buildings in the urban/suburban environment on islands that lack H. ...
متن کاملThe optokinetic reaction in foveate and afoveate geckos
To investigate determinants of symmetry of the monocular horizontal optokinetic reaction (hOKR) in vertebrates, we performed behavioural studies in diurnal foveate, as well as nocturnal afoveate geckos. During binocular viewing hOKR gain was equal for movement to the left or right, during monocular stimulation, all afoveate geckos (Lepidodactylus lugubris, Gekko gecko, Eublepharis macularius) a...
متن کاملAdhesive Stress Distribution Measurement on a Gecko
Gecko adhesion has inspired climbing robots and synthetic adhesive grippers. Distributing loads between patches of adhesive is important for maximum performance in gecko-inspired devices, but it is unknown how the gecko distributes loads over its toes. We report in vivo measurements of stress distributions on gecko toes. The results are significantly non-uniform. Gecko-inspired adhesives are se...
متن کاملA New Lepidodactylus (squamata: Gekkonidae) from Vanuatu
We describe a new gekkonid species, Lepiclodactylus vanuatuensis, from Vanuatu, Melanesia. This species most closely resembles L. guppyi and L. gardineri, and belongs to Brown and Parker's (1977) Group II based on having entire terminal scansors on all digits and two or three divided or deeply notched subterminal scansors on digits II-V. However, it differs from these species in having the foll...
