Gradient of reduced glutathione in the tail of Hemidactylus leschenaultii (Sauria: Gekkonidae).
نویسندگان
چکیده
A proximo-distal gradient of reduced glutathione (GSH), a non enzymatic antioxidant was observed in the original tails of the lizard, H. leschenaultii. In the regenerating tails, a gradual increase in the level of GSH was noted with tail elongation. In the newly regenerated tails also the level of GSH remained higher in the proximal part than the corresponding distal parts.

Call frequency and movements of the gecko Hemidactylus frenatus were studied in Punta Morales, Costa Rica from April 1999 through May 2000. Call activity of H. frenatus was positively related to air temperature at night and throughout the year. Higher activity was at dusk, dawn, and during the hottest months. Call frequency was related with gecko abundance per month, although not during the nig...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND OF THE WORK: The phylogenetic position and evolution of Hemidactylus anamallensis (family Gekkonidae) has been much debated in recent times. In the past it has been variously assigned to genus Hoplodactylus (Diplodactylidae) as well as a monotypic genus 'Dravidogecko' (Gekkonidae). Since 1995, this species has been assigned to Hemidactylus, but there is much disagreement b...
متن کاملBurmese Hemidactylus (Reptilia, Squamata, Gekkonidae): Geographic Variation in the Morphology of Hemidactylus bowringii in Myanmar and Yunnan, China
Six species of the gecko genus Hemidactylus are reported currently from Myanmar. This genus, in the family Gekkonidae, is the most geographically widespread and one of the most speciose. Morphological analysis within one Burmese species, H. bowringii, is concordant with the geographic pattern of genetic differentiation revealed by Carranza’s and Arnold’s (2006) phylogram based on mtDNA sequence...
