Helminths Infection Patterns in a Lizard (Tropidurus hispidus) Population from a Semiarid Neotropical Area: Associations Between Female Reproductive Allocation and Parasite Loads

Conrado A. B. Galdino, +7 more
- 12 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: The lizard population was parasitized by 8 helminth species, and the species composition of the component community resembles that found for other Neotropical lizards.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lizard reproductive biology beyond the gonads: An investigation of sperm storage structures and renal sexual segments.

Gabriela C. Melo, +2 more
- 01 Aug 2019 - 
TL;DR: A remarkable occurrence of crypts containing bundles of sperm and secretions in the epithelium of E. nanuzae oviducts was found, which suggests that females can produce substances involved in the maintenance of stored sperm, and may imply the reduced functionality of sperm during this period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing the influence of geographic distance in parasite communities of an exotic lizard.

Castiele Holanda Bezerra, +9 more
- 01 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: The helminth communities associated with different populations of the host lizard Hemidactylus mabouia are determined, testing if the similarity of parasite communities decreases as the distance between them increases, and no relationship of decaying similarity with increasing distance is found.
Journal Article

Como lidar com as serpentes? O conhecimento básico e as atitudes dos funcionários de uma universidade no Nordeste do Brasil

Diego de Oliveira Soares, +8 more
- 29 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the basic knowledge of such people about snakes found in the university area and the procedure performed in the encounters with these animals and assess the employees' knowledge using a semi-structured questionnaire conducted on 16 and 17 April 2013.
Journal ArticleDOI

How epidemiological patterns shift across populations in an exotic lizard.

Castiele Holanda Bezerra, +5 more
- 01 Jan 2020 - 
TL;DR: An unusually high abundance and prevalence of trematodes infecting this host lizard was apparent when the authors compared other native lizard hosts, and it is suggested that local environmental conditions might be advantageous to the development and life cycle of these parasites due to the abundance of all the intermediate and definitive hosts.
