Intermediate Forms among the Girded Lizards is a post at Tetrapod Zoology:
Girdled lizards are endemic to Africa and include about 50 species in four genera: flat-bodied flat lizards Platysaurus, the flattish crag lizards Pseudocordylus, the deeper-bodied, often spiny girdled lizards, zonures or sungazers Cordylus and the serpentiform grass lizards or ground lizards Chamaesaura. Molecular work indicates that Pseudocordylus is not monophyletic, with different species being nested in among the Cordylus assemblage ... Furthermore, Cordylus seems to be paraphyletic to not only Pseudocordylus, but also to Chamaesaura. ..Cordylids are closely related to another armoured scincomorph clade, the Afro-Madagascan gerrhosaurids or plated lizards...
Gene Expression (that's the blog name, the blogger's name is not "Gene"...) points to a commentary on John Hawks' site about Bee Evolutionary Genetics: Bees R Us. This is, John argues, a model for human evolutionary genetics parallel to the earlier paper on human evolution of which he was one of the co-authors.
