A global reptile assessment highlights shared conservation needs of tetrapods

Neil Cox et al.

Summary: Global assessments have shown that 40.7% of amphibians, 25.4% of mammals, and 13.6% of birds are threatened with extinction, but reptiles have been excluded from these assessments. This study provides a comprehensive extinction-risk assessment for reptiles and finds that at least 21.1% of species are threatened, with similar major threats as other tetrapods. Reptiles in forests are more threatened than those in arid habitats. Threatened reptiles tend to be isolated from other threatened tetrapods.

A new gecko from the earliest Eocene of Dormaal, Belgium: a thermophilic element of the 'greenhouse world'

Andrej Cernansky et al.

Summary: This article describes a new gecko lizard from the earliest Eocene in Belgium, representing the oldest known Cenozoic geckos in Europe. The discovery of geckos in northern latitudes during the Eocene is significant for understanding future global climate change.

A nearly complete skeleton of the oldest definitive erycine boid (Messel, Germany)

Krister T. Smith et al.

Summary: The fossilized erycine boid described from Germany is proposed to be a new genus and species, showing similarities to certain snake species but lacking adaptations for burrowing. Phylogenetic analyses suggest its placement on the stem of the North American Glade, indicating a common Euro-American squamate fauna in the early Eocene.

A new agamid lizard in mid-Cretaceous amber from northern Myanmar

Philipp Wagner et al.

Summary: The newly described amber-embedded fossil represents an early species of the lizard family Agamidae, dating back to around 99 million years ago in northern Myanmar. This finding could serve as a calibration point for divergence-time analyses and challenges the view that agamids colonized Southeast Asia during the Paleogene.

Quantitative analyses of squamate dentition demonstrate novel morphological patterns

Kiana Christensen et al.

Summary: The study revealed that squamate species consuming more plant material tend to have more complex teeth. Complexity differences were not found between dentigerous elements and upper/lower jaws, except for the marine iguana, which exhibited significantly more complex dentary teeth. Discordant patterns were observed in changes of dental complexity through ontogeny, with herbivorous species increasing complexity while insectivorous/herbivorous species decreasing complexity.
