The main points to the transition from reptile to bird are the evolution from scales to feathers, the evolution of the beak (although independently evolved in other organisms), the hallofication of bones, development of flight, and warm-bloodedness .
21 de abr. de 2008 · Italian wall lizards introduced to a tiny island off the coast of Croatia are evolving in ways that would normally take millions of years to play out, new research shows. In just a few decades...
With the possible exception of turtles (which are often labeled anapsids), modern reptiles and most reptiles of the Mesozoic Era are diapsids. One of the most-recognizable groups of diapsids is the lepidosauromorphs. This lineage, which is ancestral to today’s tuatara and squamates (lizards and snakes), appeared first during the Late Permian.
Lizards in an Evolutionary Tree is one of three films in HHMI’s Origin of Species collection. This film describes how the more than 700 islands of the Caribbean are home to about 150 species of anoles, a closely related group of lizards (genus Anolis) that occupy diverse habitats and niches.
6 de oct. de 2020 · New study by a team of Harvard-led researchers rebuts 75-year-old belief in their evolution. Challenging a 75-year-old notion about how and when reptiles evolved during the past 300 million-plus years involves a lot of camerawork, loads of CT scanning, and, most of all, thousands of miles of travel.

What is the evolutionary history of lizards? What are some adaptations that lizards have developed over time? Are there any extinct lizard species?
Life cycle. Most lizards reproduce by laying eggs. In some small species, the number of eggs is rather uniform for each laying or clutch. For example, all anoles ( Anolis) lay but a single egg at a time, many geckos lay one or two eggs (depending upon the species), and some skinks have clutches of two eggs.
