Human Impact and Conservation I Introduction Print this section Reptile , animal with tough, dry skin covered with horny scales. Some of the most widespread living reptiles are turtles lizards snakes crocodiles , and alligators . Reptiles are vertebrates —animals that have a backbone. While they share characteristics common to other vertebrates—fish, amphibians, birds, and mammals—reptiles display a unique combination of characteristics that distinguishes them from other vertebrates. Like amphibians, modern reptiles are cold-blooded, or ectothermic. This means that they are unable to produce their own body heat, so they rely on the sun for warmth, and much of their behavior is directed toward regulating their body temperature. Like birds, most reptiles hatch from eggs that are laid on land, covered by a protective shell. Reptiles breathe air with lungs, as do most mature amphibians and all birds and mammals. And like amphibians and mammals, most reptiles, with the exception of turtles, have teeth. Reptile skin, with its tough, horny scales, is unique in the animal world. It is neither moist and permeable, like that of amphibians, nor feathered, like that of birds, nor covered with hair, like that of mammals.

27. Introduction To The Diapsids Explains what the word reptile really means, and looks at a few different reptiles. http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/diapsids/index.html

Those Diverse Diapsids The Reptiles (except turtles) You are actually quite familiar with the group of tetrapods known as diapsids, believe it or not. All members of the group called the Reptilia (see below), except for the anapsids (turtles and their ilk), and a few extinct groups, are diapsids. The main diagnostic physical character for a diapsid is the presence of two openings on each side of the skull; the upper and lower temporal openings. Even the birds are considered diapsids (and hence reptiles), because they are descended from certain dinosaurs (which are also diapsids), and ancestrally have the paired skull openings along with other physical characteristics that unite them with diapsids. Thus, they are considered diapsids by their ancestry, which is illuminated by shared derived traits. The skull of a champsosaur, an extinct diapsid related to the archosaurs. It is an example of convergent evolution with the crocodilians, as it is not directly related to them. The evolutionary history of the diapsid lineage is quite complex; diapsids evolved into many shapes, occupying many different ecological niches since they first came onto the scene in the late Carboniferous period (roughly 350 million years ago), when they were represented by the earliest diapsid, the tiny lizardlike Petrolacosaurus Actinopterygii (the ray-finned fishes).

Reptiles include turtles, snakes, crocodiles, and lizards. They can be as small as the dwarf gecko (less than an inch long) or as big as the saltwater crocodile, which can weigh more than a ton. All reptiles have scales, but some are too small to be seen. Reptiles are ectothermic (their body temperature is regulated by their environment). Most lay eggs, but a few give birth to live young. Amphibians There are more than 6,000 species of amphibians on Earth, including frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. One-third of amphibians are threatened with extinction.

36. Reptiles Article discussing the advances reptiles have made over amphibians that have allowed them to move successfully into terrestrial habitats. http://cas.bellarmine.edu/tietjen/images/reptiles.htm

Reptiles Reptiles have acquired several advances over amphibians that have allowed them to move successfully into terrestrial habitats. Their skin, for example, is more heavily cornified and is protected with surface scales that are impervious to water. To help conserve water the kidney produces a concentrated urine, and the volume has been reduced. Since reptiles have internal fertilization, water isn't even needed for mating. To keep up with their greater activity there are changes in reptiles' pelvic and pectoral girdles to make them stronger than those of amphibians. Some even have four-chambered hearts with separate pulmonary and systemic circulations. Respiration is by lungs, although cloacal respiration can act as an auxiliary system in some aquatic turtles. Many reptiles adjust their body temperature by behavioral mechanisms, basking in the sun to warm up in the morning and then seeking shelter in the heat of the day. Physiological mechanisms sometimes aid in this behavioral thermoregulation: Chromatophores can open to darken the skin so that it absorbs more heat, and blood flow to the skin can be regulated. alveoli in the premaxillae, and dentary (lower jaw). The alligator skull has a large number of cranial bones and in this respect is more primitive than that of the frog (even though reptiles evolved after the amphibians).
