Aberrant colouration in wild snakes: case study in Neotropical taxa and a review of terminology
C Borteiro, A Diesel Abegg, F Hirouki Oda, DE Cardozo… - 2021 - ri.conicet.gov.ar
The criteria used by previous authors to define colour aberrancies of snakes, particularly
albinism, are varied and terms were usually used ambiguously. The aim of this work was to …

Genetically encoded lizard color divergence for camouflage and thermoregulation
Local adaptation is critical in speciation and evolution, yet comprehensive studies on
proximate and ultimate causes of local adaptation are generally scarce. Here, we integrated …

Variability of the mc1r Gene in Melanic and Non-Melanic Podarcis lilfordi and Podarcis pityusensis from the Balearic Archipelago
The association between polymorphism at the mc1r locus and colour variation was studied
in two wall lizard species (Podarcis lilfordi and P. pityusensis) from the Balearic archipelago …

No association between candidate genes for color determination and color phenotype in Hierophis viridiflavus, and characterization of a contact zone
Genetic and phenotypic differentiation in allopatric conditions can be explained either by
neutral phenomena or adaptative processes driven by selection. In reptiles, coloration can …

Pro-opiomelanocortin gene and melanin-based colour polymorphism in a reptile
Colour polymorphism is widespread among vertebrates and plays important roles in prey–
predator interactions, thermoregulation, social competition, and sexual selection. However …

Integrative taxonomy in the Liolaemus fitzingerii complex (Squamata: Liolaemini) based on morphological analyses and niche modeling
It has long been considered sufficient a single method or only a descriptive diagnosis to
propose a new species. Recently, many works have proposed new theoretical paradigms to …
