This study shows that pygopods, limbless geckos, have undergone similar evolutionary adaptations to snakes, with exceptional morphological and dietary evolution despite limited species diversity.

This study links environmental change and habitat shifts to diversification in Australian geckos using phylogenetic and ecological analyses.

This study investigates the evolution of amphibious hearing in pinnipeds using 3D shape and phylogenetic analyses, finding that cavernous tissue enables acoustic impedance matching between air and water.

This study uses phylogenomic data to clarify the evolutionary history of microhylid frogs, revealing taxonomic issues in the Asterophryinae subfamily and timing of diversification in Australia.

The paper investigates the adaptive landscape of Australian dragon lizards, showing that generalist habitat use facilitated rapid morphological diversification after arrival in Australia.

The paper introduces the Amphibian Genomics Consortium to address gaps in amphibian genomic resources and promote international collaboration for research and conservation.

This study investigates the tempo and mode of morphological evolution in skinks, finding that most traits evolve conservatively but rare bursts of rapid change produce novel morphologies.
