1. Effects of season, sex and age on the diet of Homonota fasciata (Squamata, Phyllodactylidae) from Monte region of Argentina
Abstract This study aimed to investigate the diet of the gecko Homonota fasciata (Duméril & Bibron, 1836) in a population from Monte of San Juan Province, Argentina, and to analyze possible temporal, sexual, and ontogenetic variations in feeding behavior. We determined the total volume, number, and occurrence frequency of each prey item and calculated the r

3. Feeding ecology of the pygmy gecko Coleodactylus natalensis (Squamata: Sphaerodactylidae) in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
We studied the feeding ecology of a population of Coleodactylus natalensis Freire, 1999, an endemic gecko of Atlantic Forest fragments in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern Brazil. Lizards (N = 49) were collected manually through active search in the four habitats of Parque Estadual Dunas de Natal, type locality of the species. In the laboratory,

4. Morfologia do coração da lagartixa Hemidactylus mabouia (Moreau Jonnès, 1818) (Squamata: Gekkonidae) / Morphology of the heart of the gecko Hemidactylus mabouia (Moreau Jonnès, 1818) (Squamata: Gekkonidae)
A lagartixa da espécie Hemidactylus mabouia (Gekkonidae) é uma colonizadora eficiente, bem estabelecida no Brasil e associada a áreas urbanas. Tem hábitos noturnos e pode ser encontrada próxima a fontes luminosas, sendo de fácil captura e utilização nos modelos experimentais com répteis. Assim, visando descrever a morfologia do coração da H. mabou

5. Conquering Brazil: the invasion by the exotic gekkonid lizard Hemidactylus mabouia (Squamata) in Brazilian natural environments
In this study we review the records regarding occurrence of Hemidactylus mabouia Moreau De Jonnès, 1818 in Brazil, looking for records of the species in natural habitats, in order to assess the present status of this gecko as an exotic or invasive alien species in the country. We surveyed the available records of H. mabouia living in natural conditions, con

6. Morphology of the alimentary canal of the gecko Hemidactylus mabouia (Moreau de Jonnès, 1818) (Squamata: Gekkonidae) / Morfologia do tubo digestivo da lagartixa Hemidactylus mabouia (Moreau de Jonnès, 1818) (Squamata: Gekkonidae).
Hemidactylus mabouia is the gecko species more thoroughly distributed in Brazil, being common in anthropic atmospheres, what turns easy its use as model for study of the reptiles. Likewise, aiming at to describe morphologically the alimentary canal of H. mabouia, 17 adult specimens were used, being collected fragments of the esophagus, of the oesophagogastri

7. Pentastomídeos infectando um lagarto invasor, Hemidactylus mabouia (Gekkonidae), na região nordeste do Brasil
De janeiro a abril de 2006 foram coletados 37 espécimes de Hemidactylus mabouia em domicílios no município de Barbalha (7° 20' S e 39° 18' W), Estado do Ceará, Nordeste do Brasil. Entre os indivíduos capturados, 17 estavam infectados com pentastomídeos, totalizando uma prevalência de 45,9%, sem diferenças significantes entre os sexos. O tamanho dos

8. Tropical House Gecko (Hemidactylus mabouia) predation on brown spiders (Loxosceles intermedia)
Brown spiders (Loxosceles spp.) are venomous arachnids, successfully adapted to urban habitats in Brazil. Loxoscelism became a serious public health problem in Paraná State, especially at the capital Curitiba, where the most abundant species is Loxosceles intermedia. Hemidactylus mabouia (Gekkonidae) lizards are synanthropic predators of arthropods. In this

9. The fine structure of the endogenous stages of Isospora hemidactyli carini, 1936 in the gecko Hemidactylus mabouia from North Brazil
The ultrastructure is described of the meronts, microgamonts and young oocyst stages of Isospora hemidactyli of the gecko Hemidactylus mabouia from Belém, PA, north Brazil. The endogenous stages all develop in the nucleus of the gut epithelial cells. The nucleus remains intact up to the latest stages of the parasite's development, but degenerates by the tim

10. Evidence for van der Waals adhesion in gecko setae
Geckos have evolved one of the most versatile and effective adhesives known. The mechanism of dry adhesion in the millions of setae on the toes of geckos has been the focus of scientific study for over a century. We provide the first direct experimental evidence for dry adhesion of gecko setae by van der Waals forces, and reject the use of mechanisms relying

11. The pKa of the protonated Schiff bases of gecko cone and octopus visual pigments.
A visual pigment is composed of retinal bound to its apoprotein by a protonated Schiff base linkage. Light isomerizes the chromophore and eventually causes the deprotonation of this Schiff base linkage at the meta II stage of the bleaching cycle. The meta II intermediate of the visual pigment is the active form of the pigment that binds to and activates the

12. Detection and Analysis of Six Lizard Adenoviruses by Consensus Primer PCR Provides Further Evidence of a Reptilian Origin for the Atadenoviruses
A consensus nested-PCR method was designed for investigation of the DNA polymerase gene of adenoviruses. Gene fragments were amplified and sequenced from six novel adenoviruses from seven lizard species, including four species from which adenoviruses had not previously been reported. Host species included Gila monster, leopard gecko, fat-tail gecko, blue-ton
