Abstract (opening): The gopher tortoise ( Gopherus polyphemus ) is listed in the State of Florida as a threatened species.\n Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42064744/\n- **PMID 42121815 (2026, Animals : an open access journal from MDPI)** — Respiratory Anatomy and Physiology of Reptiles.. Abstract (opening): Reptiles have varied lung anatomy with three main lung types: unicameral, transitional, and multicameral.\n Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42121815/\n- **PMID 42199939 (2026, Frontiers in veterinary science)** — Case Report: Osteosarcoma following traumatic injury in a juvenile Argentine black and white tegu (<i>Salvator merianae</i>).. Abstract (opening): Osteosarcoma (OSA) is a malignant neoplasm of mesenchymal origin characterized by osteoid or immature bone production and is rarely reported in reptiles.\n Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42199939/\n- **PMID 40987466 (2025, Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science : JAALAS)** — Iridophoroma in Leopard Geckos (Eublepharis macularius): Clinical Complications and Histopathology.. Abstract (opening): Leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius) with lemon frost morphologies are predisposed to iridophoroma, attributed to a tumor suppressor gene mutation also associated with melanoma in humans.\n Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40987466/\n- **PMID 41600686 (2025, Veterinary sciences)** — Biochemical and Hepatic Determinants of Reproductive Failure in Reptiles: A Review of Dystocia Pathophysiology and Management.. Abstract (opening): Dystocia represents a multifactorial and clinically significant reproductive disorder affecting a broad spectrum of reptilian species.\n Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41600686/\n- **PMID 41147243 (2025, Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society)** — A 50-year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies.. Abstract (opening): Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations in mineralization and other histological characteristics reported in any\n Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41147243/\n- **PMID 41150105 (2025, Veterinary sciences)** — Measuring the Rise and Fall of Plasma 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentrations in Blue-Tongued Skinks (<i>Tiliqua scincoides</i>) Following Ultraviolet B Exposure and Withdrawal.. Abstract (opening): Species-specific husbandry guidelines remain limited for blue-tongued skinks (Tiliqua scincoides), especially in relation to ultraviolet B (UVB) lighting and vitamin D requirements.\n Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41150105/\n- **PMID 41463526 (2025, Biology)** — Potentially Zoonotic Bacteria in Exotic Freshwater Turtles from the Canary Islands (Spain).. Abstract (opening): The pond slider (Trachemys scripta) is native to the southeastern United States but has been introduced all around the world, including to the Canary Islands (Spain), along with other less-common exotic freshwater turtles such as Graptemys pseudogeographica, Mauremys spp., and Pseudemys peninsularis.\n Source: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41463526/\n\n---\n\n**Source:** `pdf-raw/evidence/europepmc_iguana_metabolic_bone_disease_2026-08-01.txt` · https://www.ebi.ac.uk/europepmc/\n","sources":["Europe PMC — Evidence cluster — Iguana iguana metabolic bone disease (peer-reviewed, Europe PMC) (retrieved 2026-08-01)"],"source":{"authority":"Europe PMC","title":"Evidence cluster — Iguana iguana metabolic bone disease (peer-reviewed, Europe PMC)","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42064744/","retrieved":"2026-08-01","ref":"PMID 42064744","doc_type":"official PDF","source_document":"Peer-reviewed Iguana iguana metabolic bone disease literature (Europe PMC, first-hand abstracts)","verification_file":"pdf-raw/evidence/europepmc_iguana_metabolic_bone_disease_2026-08-01.txt"},"source_document":"Peer-reviewed Iguana iguana metabolic bone disease literature (Europe PMC, first-hand abstracts)","source_file":"pdf-raw/evidence/europepmc_iguana_metabolic_bone_disease_2026-08-01.txt","tokens_estimated":751,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
