Amphisbaenia

Amphisbaenia (called amphisbaenians or worm lizards) is a group of typically legless lizards, comprising over 200 extant species.

See Megachirella and Amphisbaenia

Anatomy

Anatomy is the branch of morphology concerned with the study of the internal structure of organisms and their parts.

Braies

Braies are a type of trouser worn by Celtic and Germanic tribes in antiquity and by Europeans subsequently into the Middle Ages.

See Megachirella and Braies

Carpal bones

The carpal bones are the eight small bones that make up the wrist (carpus) that connects the hand to the forearm.

See Megachirella and Carpal bones

Crown group

In phylogenetics, the crown group or crown assemblage is a collection of species composed of the living representatives of the collection, the most recent common ancestor of the collection, and all descendants of the most recent common ancestor.

See Megachirella and Crown group

Dolomites

The Dolomites (Dolomiti), also known as the Dolomite Mountains, Dolomite Alps or Dolomitic Alps, are a mountain range in northeastern Italy.

See Megachirella and Dolomites

Eolacertilia

Eolacertilia ("dawn lizards") is an extinct clade of lepidosauriform diapsid reptiles known from the Late Permian to the Late Triassic.

See Megachirella and Eolacertilia

Extinction

Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.

See Megachirella and Extinction

Fossil

A fossil (from Classical Latin) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.

See Megachirella and Fossil

Gecko

Geckos are small, mostly carnivorous lizards that have a wide distribution, found on every continent except Antarctica.

See Megachirella and Gecko

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Megachirella and Genus

Iguanomorpha

Iguania is an infraorder of squamate reptiles that includes iguanas, chameleons, agamids, and New World lizards like anoles and phrynosomatids.

See Megachirella and Iguanomorpha

Italy

Italy, officially the Italian Republic, is a country in Southern and Western Europe.

See Megachirella and Italy

Lepidosauria

The Lepidosauria (from Greek meaning scaled lizards) is a subclass or superorder of reptiles, containing the orders Squamata and Rhynchocephalia.

See Megachirella and Lepidosauria

Lepidosauromorpha

Lepidosauromorpha (in PhyloCode known as Pan-Lepidosauria) is a group of reptiles comprising all diapsids closer to lizards than to archosaurs (which include crocodiles and birds). Megachirella and Lepidosauromorpha are Lepidosauromorphs.

See Megachirella and Lepidosauromorpha

Live Science

Live Science is a science news website.

See Megachirella and Live Science

Lizard

Lizard is the common name used for all squamate reptiles other than snakes (and to a lesser extent amphisbaenians), encompassing over 7,000 species, ranging across all continents except Antarctica, as well as most oceanic island chains.

See Megachirella and Lizard

Middle Triassic

In the geologic timescale, the Middle Triassic is the second of three epochs of the Triassic period or the middle of three series in which the Triassic system is divided in chronostratigraphy.

See Megachirella and Middle Triassic

Molecular phylogenetics

Molecular phylogenetics is the branch of phylogeny that analyzes genetic, hereditary molecular differences, predominantly in DNA sequences, to gain information on an organism's evolutionary relationships.

See Megachirella and Molecular phylogenetics

Morphology (biology)

Morphology in biology is the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features.

See Megachirella and Morphology (biology)

Nature (journal)

Nature is a British weekly scientific journal founded and based in London, England.

See Megachirella and Nature (journal)

Neontology

Neontology is a part of biology that, in contrast to paleontology, deals with living (or, more generally, recent) organisms.

See Megachirella and Neontology

Northern Italy

Northern Italy (Italia settentrionale, label, label) is a geographical and cultural region in the northern part of Italy.

See Megachirella and Northern Italy

Phylogenetics

In biology, phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary history and relationships among or within groups of organisms.

See Megachirella and Phylogenetics

Polytomy

An internal node of a phylogenetic tree is described as a polytomy or multifurcation if (i) it is in a rooted tree and is linked to three or more child subtrees or (ii) it is in an unrooted tree and is attached to four or more branches.

See Megachirella and Polytomy

Purch Group

Purch Group, Inc. was a New York City-based digital media company.

Reptile

Reptiles, as commonly defined, are a group of tetrapods with usually an ectothermic ('cold-blooded') metabolism and amniotic development.

See Megachirella and Reptile

Rhynchocephalia

Rhynchocephalia is an order of lizard-like reptiles that includes only one living species, the tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) of New Zealand.

See Megachirella and Rhynchocephalia

Skeleton

A skeleton is the structural frame that supports the body of most animals.

Skull

The skull is a bone protective cavity for the brain.

X-ray microtomography

In radiography, X-ray microtomography uses X-rays to create cross-sections of a physical object that can be used to recreate a virtual model (3D model) without destroying the original object.
