Now, an international team of researchers has shown that introducing these small, green-backed lizards, Podarcis sicula, to a new environment caused them to undergo rapid and large-scale evolutionary changes. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Do you know if the investigators ever followed up with a comparison of the full genomes of the two strains of P. sicula? ❋ Unknown (2010)
In 1971 a population of common Mediterranean lizards, Podarcis sicula, which mainly eat insects, was present on Pod Kopiste but there were none on Pod Mrcaru. ❋ RICHARD DAWKINS (2009)
They found a flourishing population of lizards on Pod Mrcaru, which DNA analysis confirmed were indeed Podarcis sicula. ❋ RICHARD DAWKINS (2009)
In that year experimenters transported five pairs of Podarcis sicula from Pod Kopiste and released them on Pod Mrcaru. ❋ RICHARD DAWKINS (2009)
A few of these are Algyroïdes fitzingeri, Podarcis tiliguerta, and Podarcis sicula. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Examples of these are Algyroïdes fitzingeri, Podarcis tiliguerta, and Podarcis sicula. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The ecoregional mountain massifs host around 14 reptile species also typical of other similar forest ecosystems - mountain conifer and broadleaf mixed forests - from other Southern European Mediterranean countries (i.e. Algyroïdes fitzingeri, Podarcis tiliguerta, and Podarcis sicula). ❋ Unknown (2008)
The rare Sicilian shrew (Crocidura sicula) is endemic to Sicily, and persists in the montane forests. ❋ Unknown (2007)
These include Algyroïdes fitzingeri, Podarcis tiliguerta, and Podarcis sicula. ❋ Unknown (2007)
"Monarchia Sicula", containing all the ecclesiastical rights and privileges presumed and exercised by the King of Sicily, among which, in particular, is the legatio sicula, making the king the legatus natus of the pope in that kingdom, whence it followed that the pope could not have any other legates in Sicily. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
Fortunately, I have at my own place, under the eaves of a shed, a magnificent nest of Chalicodoma sicula in full activity. ❋ Jean-Henri Fabre (1869)
Under my erroneous denomination of Chalicodoma sicula are really comprised two species, one building its nests in our dwellings and particularly under the tiles of outhouses, the other building its nests on the branches of shrubs. ❋ Jean-Henri Fabre (1869)
It was in the first week of July that I saw the inoculation begin on my Chalicodoma sicula nests. ❋ Jean-Henri Fabre (1869)
Podarcis sicula, a Croatian lizard, evolved differences in head morphology, bite strength, and digestive tract structure in a very, very short period of time: 36 years! ❋ Unknown (2009)
Nam Ortona in Aprutio est italica - Neapolitani regni provincia, non in Sicilia, nec Orto - nensis editio sicula appellari unquam. potest. ❋ De Rossi, Giovanni Bernardo, 1742-1831 (1795)
113 In that year experimenters transported five pairs of Podarcis sicula from Pod Kopiste: Research on the lizards of Pod Mrcaru from Herrel et al. 2008 and Herrel et al. ❋ RICHARD DAWKINS (2009)
