The paper examines the genomic effects of genetic rescue in a sand lizard population, finding increased diversity and reduced genetic load after admixture.

The paper shows sex reversal in wild viviparous reptiles under thermal stress, revealing climate impacts on sex determination.

This study uses low-coverage whole genome sequencing to assess genetic variation and structure in Swedish sand lizard populations, revealing strong population structure and low genetic diversity in some populations.

The paper investigates the evolution of sex chromosomes in varanid lizards, showing retrotransposons mediated gene recruitment and recombination suppression in the W chromosome.

The paper identifies sex-linked markers in a lizard with homomorphic sex chromosomes using transcriptomes from 3 males and 3 females, enabling PCR-based sexing and comparative analysis of sex determination systems.

This study identifies candidate sex-determining genes and examines dosage compensation mechanisms in reptiles using cytogenetic and linked-read sequencing.
