The paper identifies novel Alveolate parasites in lizard tissues using 18S rRNA metabarcoding and phylogenetic analysis, revealing sequences related to Stylocephalidae and Perkinsea not previously found in reptiles.

The paper presents a chromosome-level genome assembly for the Western Spadefoot, Spea hammondii, using long-read and proximity ligation data, enabling population genomic studies for conservation.

The paper investigates aggression differences among throat color morphs in Aegean wall lizards in their natural habitat and finds that the white morph exhibits more aggression than orange and yellow morphs.
