“Two recent molecular analyses of morphologically similar fungal isolates formerly grouped under the appellation "Chrysosporium anamorph of Nannizziopsis vriesii (CANV) complex" led to major taxonomic revisions and revealed new insights into the biology of these reptile pathogens.”…...

“We found that supplementary leptin rescued immune function in calorie-restricted, trained lizards, but reproduction was not rescued in males or females. This suggests that immune function and reproduction have different sensitivities to leptin in both sexes, or that reproduction is more energy...

“We surveyed three chameleon species (Rhampholeon spinosus, Rhampholeon temporalis and Trioceros deremensis) along 32.2 km of transects and used a hierarchical, distance-sampling model to estimate densities.”… “Habitat loss and fragmentation have greatly reduced forest-dependent chameleon...

“in a wooded grassland in cencral Kenya during the dry season, male and female cramaeieo dstepas exhibited ditterences in perch plants, perch heights, general body coloration, and rates of movemenc. By the end of the rainy season, the hrse three of these ditterences were no longer evident...

“Our data reveal substantial variation among chameleon species in head morphology, limb and tail length, and dorsal crest development. Almost all variables increase interspecifically with body size; when size effects are removed, two patterns are evident. First, all traits within a functional...
