Phylogeny of the Colubroidea (Serpentes): new evidence from mitochondrial and nuclear genes.
- R. Lawson, J. Slowinski, B. Crother, F. Burbrink
- Biology, Medicine
- Molecular phylogenetics and evolution
- 1 November 2005
The Colubroidea contains over 85% of all the extant species of snakes and is recognized as monophyletic based on morphological and molecular data. Using DNA sequences (cyt b, c-mos) from 100 species… Expand
It is time for a new classification of anoles (Squamata: Dactyloidae)
- K. Nicholson, B. Crother, C. Guyer, J. M. Savage
- Biology
- 10 September 2012
In this essay, we review concepts of taxonomic categories of anoles, reanalyze accumulated characteristics of these lizards,use these analyses to summarize the topology of the phylogenetic tree for… Expand
Evolution of the germ line-soma relationship in vertebrate embryos.
- A. Johnson, E. Richardson, R. Bachvarova, B. Crother
- Biology, Medicine
- Reproduction
- 1 March 2011
The germ line and soma together maintain genetic lineages from generation to generation: the germ line passes genetic information between generations; the soma is the vehicle for germ line… Expand

Ontology of areas of endemism
- B. Crother, C. M. Murray
- Biology
- 1 June 2011
Areas of endemism have been recognized as important units in historical biogeography, and much attention has been given to methods of identifying these units operationally. Interestingly, little has… Expand
Elevational Patterns of Species Richness, Evenness, and Abundance of the Costa Rican Leaf-Litter Herpetofauna
- J. Fauth, B. Crother, J. Slowinski
- Biology
- 1 June 1989
The abundance, species richness, and evenness of the Costa Rican leaf-litter herpetofauna was estimated during the late wet season of 1985 by quantitative sampling of replicate plots at ten sites… Expand
Evolution of predetermined germ cells in vertebrate embryos: implications for macroevolution
- A. Johnson, M. Drum, R. Bachvarova, T. Masi, M. White, B. Crother
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolution & development
- 1 July 2003
Summary The germ line is established in animal embryos with the formation of primordial germ cells (PGCs), which give rise to gametes. Therefore, the need to form PGCs can act as a developmental… Expand
Expression of Dazl and Vasa in turtle embryos and ovaries: evidence for inductive specification of germ cells
- R. Bachvarova, B. Crother, +4 authors A. Johnson
- Biology, Medicine
- Evolution & development
- 1 September 2009
SUMMARY In bilaterian animals, germ cells are specified by the inductive/regulative mode or the predetermined (germ plasm) mode. Among tetrapods, mammals and urodeles use the inductive mode, whereas… Expand

PHYLOGENY AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF THE LIZARD FAMILY XANTUSIIDAE
- B. Crother, M. Miyamoto, W. Presch
- Biology
- 1 March 1986
The intergeneric relationships of the lizard family Xantusiidae were reevaluated against a cladistic synthesis of morphological (squamation and osteology) and karyological data. The two data sets… Expand
