| the complete mitochondrial genome of the color changeable toad-headed agama, phrynocephalus versicolor (reptilia, squamata, agamidae). | the complete mitochondrial genome sequence of color changeable toad-headed agama, phrynocephalus versicolor, was determined using polymerase chain reaction (pcr), long-and-accurate pcr and directly sequencing by primer walking. the entire mitochondrial genome of p. versicolor was 16,429 bp in length, the accession was kj749841 and the content of a, t, c, and g were 36.1%, 26.5%, 24.9% and 12.5%, respectively, which was similar to most vertebrate. the complete mitochondrial genome of p. versicolo ... | 2016 | 24989048 |
| effects of substrate color on intraspecific body color variation in the toad-headed lizard, phrynocephalus versicolor. | diversity in animal coloration is generally associated with adaptation to their living habitats, ranging from territorial display and sexual selection to predation or predation avoidance, and thermoregulation. however, the mechanism underlying color variation in toad-headed phrynocephalus lizards remains poorly understood. in this study, we investigated the population color variation of phrynocephalus versicolor. we found that lizards distributed in dark substrate have darker dorsal coloration ( ... | 2019 | 31624549 |
