Geckos are well known for their extraordinary clinging abilities and many species easily
scale vertical or even inverted surfaces. This ability is enabled by a complex digital adhesive …

Background DNA barcoding of non-avian reptiles based on the cytochrome oxidase subunit
I (COI) gene is still in a very early stage, mainly due to technical problems. Using a newly …

Geckos are the only major lizard group consisting mostly of nocturnal species. Nocturnality
is presumed to have evolved early in gecko evolution and geckos possess numerous …

Phylogenetic relationships among gekkotan lizards were estimated from five nuclear protein‐
coding genes in separate and combined analyses using maximum parsimony, maximum …

We used a multi-gene approach to assess the phylogenetic relationships of New Zealand
diplodactylid geckos to their Australian and New Caledonian relatives and to one another …

Amniotes possess variability in sex determination, ranging from environmental sex
determination to genotypic sex determination with differentiated sex chromosomes …

A review of the taxonomy, phylogeny, and zoogeography of all currently recognized Gekko
species is provided based on morphology (including size, scalation, color, and pattern) and …

Aim We examine the genetic diversity within the lizard genus Gekko in the Philippine islands
to understand the role of geography and geological history in sha** species diversity in …

Among amniote vertebrates, geckos represent a clade with exceptional variability in sex
determination; however, only a minority of species of this highly diverse group has been …

Madagascar's flora and fauna are remarkable both for their diversity and supraspecific
endemism. Moreover, many taxa contain large numbers of species with limited distributions …
