| three new species of the genus pterygosoma peters, 1849 (acariformes: pterygosomatidae) from agamid lizards (sauria: agaminae) with dna barcode data. | three new species of the genus pterygosoma peters, 1849 parasitising lizards of the subfamily agaminae (squamata: agamidae) are described: p. pallidum n. sp. from trapelus pallidus (merrem) and p. parasiniatum n. sp. from pseudotrapelus cf. sinaitus (heyden) (both from jordan); and p. theobaldi n. sp. from phrynocephalus theobaldi blyth from north india. we extend the standard morphological description of the new species by using dna barcode markers, partial sequences of the mitochondrial cytoch ... | 2016 | 27638734 |
| the geography and timing of genetic divergence in the lizard phrynocephalus theobaldi on the qinghai-tibetan plateau. | the qinghai-tibetan plateau (qtp) represents one of the earth's most significant physical features and there is increasing interest in the historical generation of biodiversity within this region. we hypothesized that there should be clear geographically coherent genetic structuring within one of the world's highest altitude lizards, phrynocephalus theobaldi, due to considerable historical population fragmentation in this environment. this was tested using a major mitochondrial dna (mtdna) surve ... | 2017 | 28536444 |
| the complete mitochondrial genome of the toad-headed lizard subspecies, phrynocephalus theobaldi orientalis (reptilia, squamata, agamidae). | the first complete mitochondrial genome sequence of phrynocephalus viviparity was determined for the toad-headed lizard phrynocephalus theobaldi orientalis. the 16,608 bp mitogenome contains 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rrna genes, 22 trna genes and 2 control regions (crs). the overall base composition of h-strand is t: 26.7%, c: 24.5%, a: 37.6%, g: 11.2%. the gene arrangement and composition of p. theobaldi orientalis was similar to other published mitochondrial genomes of phrynocephalus oviparit ... | 2016 | 24708124 |
| dorsal pigmentation and its association with functional variation in mc1r in a lizard from different elevations on the qinghai-tibetan plateau. | identification of the role of the mc1r gene has provided major insights into variation in skin pigmentation in several organisms, including humans, but the evolutionary genetics of this variation is less well-established. variation in this gene and its relationship with degree of melanism was analyzed in one of the world's highest-elevation lizards, phrynocephalus theobaldi from the qinghai-tibetan plateau. individuals from the low-elevation group were shown to have darker dorsal pigmentation th ... | 2020 | 33095228 |
