This study examines thermal tolerance and plasticity in the crepuscular gecko Eublepharis macularius, finding that plasticity is independent of basal tolerance, peaks after 6 hours, and is negatively related to body mass.

This paper presents a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly for the leopard gecko, identifying factors affecting assembly contiguity and providing a resource for squamate genomics.

The paper develops a method to quantify and analyze melanistic color pattern variation in leopard geckos across body parts, revealing patterns of development and evolutionary constraints.

The paper distinguishes the contribution of developmental noise from genotype and environment to phenotypic variation in leopard gecko head color patterns using mathematical simulations.
