    Description of the antipredatory head-wobble behaviour in Chilean rear-fanged snakes Tachymenis peruviana Wiegmann, 1835 and Tachymenis chilensis coronellina Werner, 1898 (Serpentes, Dipsadidae)
    (Pensoft Publishers, 2022) Reyes-Olivares, Claudio; Vera-Quispe, Alex; Zúñiga, Alejandro; Urra, Félix A.
    In this work, we describe the first records of head-wobble behaviour for Tachymenis peruviana and T. chilensis coronellina. We analyse this behaviour (occurrence, frequency) and accompanying displays in both species. Of particular note is that T. ch. coronellina exhibited more frequent head-wobbling than T. peruviana and, in both records, wind activity was observed during this antipredatory behaviour.

    Lizards as Silent Hosts of Trypanosoma cruzi
    (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2022-06) Botto-Mahan, Carezza; Correa, Juana P.; Araya-Donoso, Raúl; Farías, Francisca; San Juan, Esteban; Quiroga, Nicol; Campos-Soto, Ricardo; Reyes-Olivares, Claudio; González-Acuña, Daniel
    We assessed 4 lizard species in Chile for Trypanosoma cruzi, the causative agent of Chagas disease, and 1 species for its ability to transmit the protozoan to uninfected kissing bugs. All lizard species were infected, and the tested species was capable of transmitting the protozoan, highlighting their role as T. cruzi reservoirs. © 2022 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

    Observation of the growth of a bifurcated tail in the Chilean Marked Gecko, Garthia gaudichaudii (Squamata, Phyllodactylidae)
    (Universidad de Concepcion, 2023-06) Reyes-Olivares, Claudio; Campos-Cifuentes, Fabián; Penna, Mario
    Many lizards (Superorder Lepidosauria) can regenerate their tail after fully or partially autotomizing it. However, abnormalities in regeneration can sometimes occur, such as the growth of one or more additional tails from wounds produced, for example, by incomplete autotomy. In this work, we describe the growth of an additional tail (i.e., bifurcated tail formation) in the endemic Chilean gecko, Garthia gaudichaudii, which reached a total length of 7.1 mm in 48 days of captivity. © 2023 The author(s).
