  • Extreme Miniaturization of a New Amniote Vertebrate and Insights Into the Evolution of Genital Size in Chameleons
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Extreme miniaturization of a new amniote vertebrate and insights into the evolution of genital size in chameleons Frank Glaw1*, Jörn Köhler2, Oliver Hawlitschek3, Fanomezana M. Ratsoavina4, Andolalao Rakotoarison4, Mark D. Scherz5 & Miguel Vences6 Evolutionary reduction of adult body size (miniaturization) has profound consequences for organismal biology and is an important subject of evolutionary research. Based on two individuals we describe a new, extremely miniaturized chameleon, which may be the world’s smallest reptile species. The male holotype of Brookesia nana sp. nov. has a snout–vent length of 13.5 mm (total length 21.6 mm) and has large, apparently fully developed hemipenes, making it apparently the smallest mature male amniote ever recorded. The female paratype measures 19.2 mm snout–vent length (total length 28.9 mm) and a micro-CT scan revealed developing eggs in the body cavity, likewise indicating sexual maturity. The new chameleon is only known from a degraded montane rainforest in northern Madagascar and might be threatened by extinction. Molecular phylogenetic analyses place it as sister to B. karchei, the largest species in the clade of miniaturized Brookesia species, for which we resurrect Evoluticauda Angel, 1942 as subgenus name. The genetic divergence of B. nana sp. nov. is rather strong (9.9‒14.9% to all other Evoluticauda species in the 16S rRNA gene). A comparative study of genital length in Malagasy chameleons revealed a tendency for the smallest chameleons to have the relatively largest hemipenes, which might be a consequence of a reversed sexual size dimorphism with males substantially smaller than females in the smallest species.

    2/18/2021 Report: Newly Found Chameleon May Be World’s Smallest Reptile SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY Report: Newly Found Chameleon May Be World’s Smallest Reptile February 13, 2021 e island nation of Madagascar, o the east coast of Africa, may be home to the smallest kind of reptile in the world. e chameleon, at only 13-and-one-half millimeters long, could t on the end of your nger. e new species was given the scientic name Brookesia nana, but it is also called the nano- chameleon. It appears to have broken the old record for reptile size by 1.5 millimeters. A Madagascar nature guide discovered two of the animals, a female and male, on a mountainside in 2012. Researchers from Madagascar and Germany began studying the animals. e female was larger. Tests showed she was an adult carrying two eggs. e team’s ndings appeared in the publication Scientic Reports. German scientist Frank Glaw, the lead researcher on the team, is an expert on amphibians and reptiles of Madagascar. He said these new lizards are so small “you really have to get down on your knees to nd them.” Like other chameleons, they can hide by changing their appearance to blend with their environment. Glaw also noted that the nano-chameleon moves very slowly. Among the more surprising discoveries is the size of the male’s reproductive organs, which make up 20 percent of the animal’s body size. e researchers think this quality may assist its mating eorts with the larger female of the species. https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/report-newly-found-chameleon-may-be-world-s-smallest-reptile/5770429.html#comments 1/2 2/18/2021 Report: Newly Found Chameleon May Be World’s Smallest Reptile Researchers are searching for other Brookesia nana on Madagascar.

Among the most interesting conditions sea turtles can have is fibropapillomatosis or FP for short. FP is a disease caused by a herpes virus that affects every species of sea turtle except leatherbacks, with a majority of cases being green sea turtles. This disease can be extremely debilitating and is one of the larger challenges that aquatic veterinarians face with wild sea turtle populations. Fibropapillomas can be found externally on the flippers, scutes, skin, eyelids, and even on the cornea. This disease could present as mild as a solitary wart-like tumor on the body of a turtle or as severe as several grapefruit-sized masses covering the animal’s face, flippers, and shell.
