Passive body movement and gas exchange in the frilled lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii) and goanna (Varanus gouldii).
The saccular lung in lizards is large and highly compliant compared with mammalian lungs, and these properties led us to question to what extent body movements could affect pulmonary gas exchange and the partial pressure of arterial blood gases. Specimens of two species of lizards, the frilled lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii, approximately 600 g body mass) and the goanna (Varanus gouldii, approxi...
متن کاملComplete mitochondrial genome of the frillneck lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii, Reptilia; Agamidae), another squamate with two control regions.
Using PCR, the complete mitochondrial genome was sequenced in three frillneck lizards (Chlamydosaurus kingii). The mitochondria spanned over 16,761bp. As in other vertebrates, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and 13 protein coding genes were identified. However, similar to some other squamate reptiles, two control regions (CRI and CRII) were identified, spanning 801 and 812 bp, respectively. Our r...
متن کاملRostral horn evolution among agamid lizards of the genus Ceratophora endemic to Sri Lanka.
The first phylogenetic hypothesis for the Sri Lankan agamid lizard genus Ceratophora is presented based on 1670 aligned base positions (472 parsimony informative) of mitochondrial DNA sequences, representing coding regions for eight tRNAs, ND2, and portions of ND1 and COI. Phylogenetic analysis reveals multiple origins and possibly losses of rostral horns in the evolutionary history of Ceratoph...
متن کاملThe molecular era of myology.
This review covers, in general terms, the salient features and impact of molecular myology under the following headings: its role in providing clues for the understanding of molecular etiology and pathogenesis of genetic myopathies, its contribution to the modernization and rationalization of the classification of muscle diseases, providing means of precise diagnosis and prevention of myopathie...
متن کاملFiery frills: carotenoid-based coloration predicts contest success in frillneck lizards
Conspicuous color signals are commonly used by a wide diversity of animals to advertise some specific aspect of their competitive ability. In particular, orange and red colors are often used as an aggressive signal to potential rivals. The iconic Australian frillneck lizard (Chlamydosaurus kingii) has a large and extensible frill that varies geographically in the extent of yellow, orange, and r...
