Digestive ecology of two omnivorous Canarian lizard species (Gallotia , Lacertidae)
Omnivorous endemic Canarian lacertids (Gallotia atlantica and G. galloti) do not present any speci c digestive and physiological adaptations to herbivorous diet, compared to species and populations with a different degree of herbivory in the Canarian archipelago. The only characteristics that could be related to the type of diet were the number of cusps per tooth (between species) and the numb...
متن کاملLeishmania--a parasitized parasite.
Alerting the host to an infection is a critical step in the development of an immune response, and identifying the pathogen-specific molecules that sound the alarm has preoccupied immunologists for more than 20 years. A recent study by Ives et al.1 shows that infection of the protozoan parasite leishmania with an endogenous virus augments the immune response — which perhaps is not such a good t...
متن کاملRetinal axon regeneration in the lizard Gallotia galloti in the presence of CNS myelin and oligodendrocytes.
Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons in lizards (reptiles) were found to regenerate after optic nerve injury. To determine whether regeneration occurs because the visual pathway has growth-supporting glia cells or whether RGC axons regrow despite the presence of neurite growth-inhibitory components, the substrate properties of lizard optic nerve myelin and of oligodendrocytes were analyzed in vitr...
متن کاملInterpopulational and seasonal variation in the chemical signals of the lizard Gallotia galloti
Communicative traits are strikingly diverse and may vary among populations of the same species. Within a population, these traits may also display seasonal variation. Chemical signals play a key role in the communication of many taxa. However, we still know far too little about chemical communication in some vertebrate groups. In lizards, only a few studies have examined interpopulational varia...
متن کاملRelationship between cortical electrical and cardiac autonomic activities in the awake lizard, Gallotia galloti.
ECG and EEG signals were simultaneously recorded in lizards, Gallotia galloti, both in control conditions and under autonomic nervous system (ANS) blockade, in order to evaluate possible relationships between the ANS control of heart rate and the integrated central nervous system activity in reptiles. The ANS blockers used were prazosin, propranolol, and atropine. Time-domain summary statistics...
