    Behavioral fever in Bosk’s fringe-toed lizards (Acanthodactylus boskianus) living in an industrial area in south-eastern Tunisia

    As an indicator of physiological state of lizards, thermoregulatory behavior has been proposed as an assessment tool of environmental contamination, particularly in desert ecosystems where lizards represent a ...

    Decreased Cell-Mediated Immune Response in Bosk’s Fringe-Toed Lizards (Acanthodactylus boskianus) Inhabiting an Industrialized Area in Southern Tunisia

    Lizards increasingly are recognized as suitable contaminant biomonitors in terrestrial ecosystems. Previously, we have shown that Bosk’s fringe-toed lizards (Acanthodactylus boskianus) living close to the Gabès-G...

    Heavy metal accumulation in lizards living near a phosphate treatment plant: possible transfer of contaminants from aquatic to terrestrial food webs

    We investigated the accumulation of heavy metals in Bosk’s fringe-toed lizards (Acanthodactylus boskianus) living in Gabès region (southeastern Tunisia), in relation to habitat, diet, and distance from the Gabès-...

    Phylogenetic relationships of Isospora, Lankesterella, and Caryospora species (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) infecting lizards

    In this study, several species of Isospora infecting lizards were genetically characterized. Specifically, five described and four newly described species of Isospora were included in a phylogeny of the family Ei...
