Leiosaurinae
Leiosauridae is a family of iguanian lizards containing six genera and 34 species. The family is endemic to Central America and South America. Taxonomy A 2022 phylogenetic study found the Leiosauridae to be the sister taxa to the Opluridae, a unique family of iguanians endemic to Madagascar, and one of only two pleurodont lineages found outside the Americas (the other being the genus '' Brachylophus''). This called into question the previous hypothesis of Opluridae being the last members of an ancient lineage of Gondwanan iguanians, as the study found that the Leiosauridae and Opluridae only diverged during the Paleocene, about 60 million years ago. Opluridae are now thought to have colonized Madagascar via oceanic dispersal from South America, either directly or indirectly. Genera The family Leiosauridae contains the following genera Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as virus ...

Oceanic Dispersal
Oceanic dispersal is a type of biological dispersal that occurs when terrestrial organisms transfer from one land mass to another by way of a sea crossing. Island hopping is the crossing of an ocean by a series of shorter journeys between islands, as opposed to a single journey directly to the destination. Often this occurs via large rafts of floating vegetation such as are sometimes seen floating down major rivers in the tropics and washing out to sea, occasionally with animals trapped on them. Dispersal via such a raft is sometimes referred to as a rafting event. Colonization of land masses by plants can also occur via long-distance oceanic dispersal of floating seeds. History Rafting has played an important role in the colonization of isolated land masses by mammals. Prominent examples include Madagascar, which has been isolated for ~120 million years ( Ma), and South America, which was isolated for much of the Cenozoic. Both land masses, for example, appear to have received ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Enyalius Catenatus
''Enyalius catenatus'', Wied's fathead anole, is a species of lizard in the family Leiosauridae. It is native to Brazil.

The species is reproduces sexually and is gonochoric In biology, gonochorism is a sexual system where there are only two sexes and each individual organism is either male or female. The term gonochorism is usually applied in animal species, the vast majority of which are gonochoric. Gonochorism c ....

Enyalius (lizard)
''Enyalius'' is a genus of lizards in the Family (biology), family Leiosauridae. The genus is native to Brazil and Uruguay. Species in the genus ''Enyalius'' are mostly insectivorous (meaning they eat insects and other invertebrates), diurnal (active during the day), and arboreal (inhabit trees). There are eleven known species of this genus. The reproductive timing for the species ''E. perditus'' occurs typically in warm and wet seasons and is typically shorter than other species of this genus. These lizards lay eggs and have a clutch size (number of eggs laid at one time) of about 3–11. Species *''Enyalius bibronii'' *''Enyalius bilineatus'' – two-lined fathead anole *''Enyalius boulengeri'' – Brazilian fathead anole *''Enyalius brasiliensis'' – Brazilian fathead anole *''Enyalius capetinga'' M.

Bell left Poole in 1813 for his training as a dental surgeon in London. He is listed in 1817 as having an address at number 17 Fenchurch Street, and as being a committee member of the newly formed London Peace Society. By 1819 his address is given as 18 Bucklersbury, also in the city of London.

George Albert Boulenger
George Albert Boulenger (19 October 1858 – 23 November 1937) was a Belgian-British zoologist who described and gave scientific names to over 2,000 new animal species, chiefly fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Boulenger was also an active botanist during the last 30 years of his life, especially in the study of roses. Life Boulenger was born in Brussels, Belgium, the only son of Gustave Boulenger, a Belgian public notary, and Juliette Piérart, from Valenciennes. He graduated in 1876 from the Free University of Brussels with a degree in natural sciences, and worked for a while at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels, as an assistant naturalist studying amphibians, reptiles, and fishes. He also made frequent visits during this time to the ''Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle'' in Paris and the British Museum in London. In 1880, he was invited to work at the Natural History Museum, then a department of the British Museum, by Dr. Albert C. L. G. Günther a ...
