“the impact on biodiversity loss due to human causes (habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change) must be controlled through proper national legislation, enforced controls, as well as cultural shifts in public attitudes towards the environment. Obviously, procedures against the release...

“In this dissertation I evaluate, based on a taxonomic revision of Calumma nasutum group, the significance of mitochondrial lineages for species delimitation and promote micro- computed tomography (micro-CT) as an additional tool for integrative taxonomy. The second part deals with the discovery...

“Scientist Kenneth Barnett was the first to discover the chameleon “hoot”. One day he was handling Zappa, his pet veiled chameleon (Chamaeleo calyptratus) when he noticed that it was producing a buzzing sound from an area just in front of its front legs”…...

Interesting article although not specifically about chameleons… “we elucidate four major findings: (i) closely-related lizard species harbor distinct gut bacterial microbiota that remain distinguishable in captivity; a considerable portion of gut bacterial diversity (39.1%) in nature overlap...

“The present study generated the first descriptions of the microbiomes within dwarf chameleon foreguts and hindguts. Our results demonstrated that bacterial diversity of dwarf chameleon microbiomes showed high similarity to other squamates, indicating that Bradypodion microbiomes are typical for...

“Our results show that the habitat has perches that are on average wider than for B. ventrale with a greater size range. The performance of B. pumilum was less impacted by perch diameter and pull direction suggesting that B. pumilum is able to use perches of different diameters in their more...

“Fungi of the genera Nannizziopsis and Paranannizziopsis have long been known to cause severe skin diseases in various reptiles. These include species feared in herpetocolture such as CANV (Chrysosporium Anamorph of Nannizziopsis vriesii) and Nannizziopsis dermatitidis, which are apparently...

“Warning: I have years of experience working with animals at vet clinics and wildlife centers. Do not attempt to pull out the tongue yourself unless you feel very confident that you will not cause more harm than good. When in any type of doubt, wait until you can reach a vet.”…...

“In putting together this book, we stand on the shoulders of others. The extensive bibliog- raphy presented here spans centuries, and the resulting body of literature is based on the work of researchers who dedicated their minds to a deeper understanding of chameleons.”…...
