Agonistic Behavior of the Mediterranean Gecko Hemidactylus turcicus
Venetia S. Briggs (2012) Agonistic behavior of the Mediterranean gecko Hemidactylus turcicus. Zoological Studies 51(7): 956-965. Agonistic behavior may influence the dispersal of species and spatial distribution of individuals within a population. The Mediterranean gecko Hemidactylus turcicus was used to test 2 hypotheses: 1) adult behavior differs in responses to conspecifics and resource limi...
متن کاملProximal testicular ducts of the Mediterranean gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus).
The efferent ducts of the Mediterranean Gecko, Hemidactylus turcicus (Gekkonidae) were investigated using light and electron microscopy. The seminiferous tubules unite into a single rete testis tubule. The rete testis divides into 3-4 ductuli efferentes which all drain into the cranial portion of the ductus epididymis. All efferent ducts are most active during the months of December to August. ...
متن کاملUltrastructural description of spermiogenesis within the Mediterranean Gecko, Hemidactylus turcicus (Squamata: Gekkonidae).
We studied spermiogenesis in the Mediterranean Gecko, Hemidactylus turcicus, at the electron microscope level and compared to what is known within other Lepidosaurs. In H. turcicus germ cells are connected via cytoplasmic bridges where organelle and cytoplasm sharing is observed. The acrosome develops from merging transport vesicles that arise from the Golgi and subsequently partition into an a...
متن کاملTemporal Germ Cell Development Strategy during Mixed Spermatogenesis within the Male Mediterranean Gecko, Hemidactylus turcicus (Reptilia: Gekkonidae)
The testes of Hemidactylus turcicus are composed of seminiferous tubules lined with continuous germinal epithelia in which multiple germ cell morphologies can be found during the active months of sperm development. Spermatogenesis is quiescent during September, with only spermatogonia A and spermatogonia B present in the seminiferous epithelia and minimal mitotic activity is observed. Recrudesc...
متن کاملSelection of Microhabitat by the Introduced Mediterranean Gecko, Hemidactylus Turcicus: Influence of Ambient Light and Distance to Refuge
The Mediterranean gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus) is an introduced nocturnal lizard that often can be seen on and around buildings in the southern United States and in its native Old World range. However, little is known about the factors that determine its selection of microhabitat, except that it does not actively thermoregulate. For example, geckos may forage near lights due to presence of hig...
