Evolution of respiration, buccopharyngeal respiration, costo-pulmonary respiration, amphibians, reptiles, respiratory musculature, morphophysiology.Abstract
This article explores the evolution of reptilian respiration, using the suborder Lacertilia (lizards) as an example. It focuses on the transition from buccopharyngeal respiration to costo-pulmonary respiration. We analyzed morphological changes in the strMetrics
