Anomalopus Verreauxii
''Anomalopus verreauxii'', also known commonly as the three-clawed worm-skink or Verreaux's skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Australia. Etymology The specific name, ''verreauxii'' (masculine, genitive, singular), is in honor of one of the Verreaux brothers, Édouard Verreaux and Jules Verreaux, who were French naturalists and taxidermists. Geographic range ''A. verreauxii'' is found in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia. Habitat The preferred natural habitat of ''A. verreauxii'' is forest. Description ''A. verreauxii'' has three clawed toes on the front leg, and it has no toes on the back leg. Greer & Cogger (1985). Reproduction ''A. verreauxii'' is oviparous Oviparous animals are animals that lay their eggs, with little or no other embryonic development within the mother. This is the reproductive method of most fish, amphibians, most reptiles, and all pterosaurs, dinosaurs (including birds), and .... Refer ...

Anomalopus Mackayi
''Anomalopus mackayi'', commonly known as the five-clawed worm skink, long-legged worm skink, and MacKay's burrowing skink, is a species of smooth-scaled burrowing skink, a lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to eastern Australia. Etymology The specific name, ''mackayi'', is in honor of Australian herpetologist Roy D. MacKay. Behaviour and habitat ''A. mackayi'' generally burrows in areas with black soil and few trees. Description ''A. mackayi'' generally grows to the size of about snout-vent length (SVL). It is similar to ''Anomalopus leuckartii'' but with distinctly didactyle (having two digits) hindlimbs, a central dark spot within each individual scale, and is yellow-green below with darker flecks (Cogger 2000). Reproduction Adult females of ''A. mackayi'' give birth to live young. Conservation status ''A. mackayi'' is listed as ''Vulnerable'' under the IUCN Red List, and as ''Endangered'' under Queensland's Nature Conservation Act 1992. Database en ...

Anomalopus Swansoni
''Anomalopus swansoni'', also known commonly as the punctate worm-skink or Swanson's burrowing skink, is a species of lizard in the family Scincidae. The species is endemic to Australia. Etymology The specific name, ''swansoni'', is in honor of Australian herpetologist, Stephen Swanson. Geographic range ''A. swansoni'' is found between the Hawkesbury River and the Hunter River in eastern New South Wales. Description ''A. swansoni'' is pinkish-brown on top, with fine dark speckles, and a creamy-pink belly. Habitat The preferred natural habitats of ''A. swansoni'' are supralittoral zone, grassland, shrubland, and forest. Behaviour ''A. swansoni'' shelters in soil, wood and rocks, and is rarely seen unless disturbed. Reproduction ''A. swansoni'' is viviparous Among animals, viviparity is development of the embryo inside the body of the parent. This is opposed to oviparity which is a reproductive mode in which females lay developing eggs that complete their development an ...

Ctenotus
''Ctenotus'' is a genus of skinks (family Scincidae). The genus belongs to a clade in the ''Sphenomorphus'' group which contains such genera as '' Anomalopus'' and the close relatives '' Eulamprus'' and '' Gnypetoscincus''. Lizards in the genus ''Ctenotus'' are commonly called comb-eared skinks, a reference to the scales aligned near the ear. ''Ctenotus'' lizards are able to move very quickly, disappearing whilst being observed. They are highly active in their habits, foraging amongst a diverse range of habitat. The members of the genus ''Ctenotus'' are widely distributed, in all states of Australia, and are especially diverse in arid regions and the tropical north, accounting for 10–20% of the lizard species. Around a quarter of lizards found in one area of the Great Sandy Desert are ''Ctenotus'' skinks, 11 of the 40 species. A single dune may have up to six species of ''Ctenotus''. The Southwest Australian region contains 23 species. The size ranges from very small to modera ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eulamprus
''Eulamprus'' is a genus of lizards, commonly known as water skinks, in the subfamily Sphenomorphinae of the family Scincidae. The genus is native to Australia. Taxonomy The genus ''Eulamprus'' belongs to a clade in the ''Sphenomorphus'' group that contains other genera such as ''Ctenotus'' and ''Anomalopus''. The molecular phylogenetic studies of O'Connor and Moritz (2003) and Skinner et al. (2013) found that species assigned to ''Eulamprus'' comprised four independent lineages within the Australian ''Sphenomorphus'' group and did not form a clade. The genus ''Eulamprus'' was restricted to the water skinks, with other species assigned to ''Concinnia'' (including species formerly in the monotypic genera '' Gnypetoscincus'' and ''Nangura''), '' Silvascincus'' and '' Tumbunascincus''. Species The following five species are recognized as being valid. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
André Marie Constant Duméril
André Marie Constant Duméril (1 January 1774 – 14 August 1860) was a French zoologist. He was professor of anatomy at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle from 1801 to 1812, when he became professor of herpetology and ichthyology. His son Auguste Duméril was also a zoologist. Life André Marie Constant Duméril was born on 1 January 1774 in Amiens and died on 14 August 1860 in Paris. He became a doctor at a young age, obtaining, at 19 years, the ''prévot'' of anatomy at the medical school of Rouen. In 1800, he left for Paris and collaborated in the drafting of the comparative anatomy lessons of Georges Cuvier. He replaced Cuvier at the Central School of the Panthéon and had, as his colleague, Alexandre Brongniart. In 1801, he gave courses to the medical school of Paris. Under the ''Restauration'', he was elected a member of the Académie des Sciences (French Academy of Sciences) and after 1803 succeeded Lacépède, who was occupied by his political offic ...

Lizard Genera
Lizards are a widespread group of squamate reptiles, with over 7,000 species, ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains. The group is paraphyletic since it excludes the snakes and Amphisbaenia although some lizards are more closely related to these two excluded groups than they are to other lizards. Lizards range in size from chameleons and geckos a few centimeters long to the 3-meter-long Komodo dragon. Most lizards are quadrupedal, running with a strong side-to-side motion. Some lineages (known as "legless lizards"), have secondarily lost their legs, and have long snake-like bodies. Some such as the forest-dwelling ''Draco'' lizards are able to glide. They are often territorial, the males fighting off other males and signalling, often with bright colours, to attract mates and to intimidate rivals. Lizards are mainly carnivorous, often being sit-and-wait predators; many smaller species eat insects, while the Komodo eats mammals as bi ...

French Language
French ( or ) is a Romance language of the Indo-European family. It descended from the Vulgar Latin of the Roman Empire, as did all Romance languages. French evolved from Gallo-Romance, the Latin spoken in Gaul, and more specifically in Northern Gaul. Its closest relatives are the other langues d'oïl—languages historically spoken in northern France and in southern Belgium, which French ( Francien) largely supplanted. French was also influenced by native Celtic languages of Northern Roman Gaul like Gallia Belgica and by the ( Germanic) Frankish language of the post-Roman Frankish invaders. Today, owing to France's past overseas expansion, there are numerous French-based creole languages, most notably Haitian Creole. A French-speaking person or nation may be referred to as Francophone in both English and French. French is an official language in 29 countries across multiple continents, most of which are members of the ''Organisation internationale de la Francophonie'' ...

Harold Cogger
Harold George "Hal" Cogger (born 4 May 1935) is an Australian herpetologist. He was curator of reptiles and amphibians at the Australian Museum from 1960 to 1975, and Deputy Director of the museum from 1976 to 1995.
