Genomic analysis of many nonmodel species has uncovered an incredible diversity of sex
chromosome systems, making it possible to empirically test the rich body of evolutionary …

DNA sequence indicates the Lacertidae contain two subfamilies, Gallotiinae and Lacertinae,
the latter comprising two monophyletic tribes, the Eremiadini of Africa and arid southwest …

The lacertid lizard Lacerta vivipara is one of the few squamate species with two reproductive
modes. We present the intraspecific phylogeny obtained from neighbor-joining and …

Simple Summary The wide-ranging Eurasian species Zootoca vivipara (Lichtenstein, 1823),
of the family Lacertidae (Reptilia), is a rare species within the family, possessing multiple sex …

Dollo's law of irreversibility states that once a complex trait has been lost in evolution, it
cannot be regained. It is thought that complex epistatic interactions and developmental …

The common lizard (Zootoca vivipara) displays characteristic cytogenetic, reproductive,
molecular, and biogeographic variability. This species comprises oviparous and viviparous …

The lizard Lacerta (Zootoca) vivipara has two modes of reproduction and is variable
karyologically. We describe its karyological variation from literature data and from new data …

Squamate reptiles exhibit high variation in their phenotypic traits and geographical
distributions and are therefore fascinating taxa for evolutionary and ecological research …

Transposable elements (TEs) constitute a considerable fraction of eukaryote genomes
representing a major source of genetic variability. We describe two DNA sequences isolated …

We sampled seven populations of Zootoca vivipara from Central Europe (6 Austrian, 1
German) and found several chromosomal forms inhabiting this region:(1) oviparous Zv …
