Calentamiento global y la fisiología de ectotermos: el caso de tres lacertilios mexicanos by Victor Fajardo, Marycarmen Burguete, Juan Carlos González-Morales

“…Los hallazgos recientes muestran que el calentamiento global puede causar cambios en la distribución espacial de diversas especies de reptiles e incluso llevar a su extinción. Se ha propuesto teóricamente que los lacertilios podrían migrar en un gradiente altitudinal; sin embargo, en estas propuestas no se ha considerado a la hipoxia (escasez de oxígeno) como un factor limitante de la migración. …”

Tooth replacement of the filter-feeding pterosaur Forfexopterus and its implications for ecological adaptation by CHANG-FU ZHOU, FENGMIN FAN

“…Reconstruction of Zahnreihen shows an average Z-spacing of 2.02, comparable to that of the simple alternate replacement (Z-spacing = 2) between odd- and even-numbered tooth positions in reptiles. Based on comparisons with Balaenognathus, Ctenochasma, and Pterodaustro, the tooth replacement pattern appears to be varied in ctenochasmatids, and needs to be further studied in the future.…”

From Scientific Research to Geoconservation and Geopark by Dan Grigorescu

“…The Haţeg region of Transylvania-Romania, known as the “Haţeg Country”, due to its specific character as a region wholly encircled by mountains, has been renowned for over a century for its palaeontological geosites from which dinosaur bones of several species, dinosaur eggs and hatchlings, were unearthed along with numerous other taxa representative of all the major vertebrate groups: fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. The region illustrates the phenomenon of “insular dwarfism”, linked to the lengthy persistence of animals in isolated habitats. …”

Role of Chromosome Changes in Evolution and Diversity by Kornsorn Srikulnath, Watcharaporn Thapana, Narongrit Muangmai

“…These provided an important contribution of chromosomal rearrangements for the evolutionary processes of Crocodylia and Sauropsida (birds and reptiles). The karyotypic features of crocodilians contain small diploid chromosome numbers (30~42), with little interspecific variation of the chromosome arm number (fundamental number) among crocodiles (56~60). …”
