Discussion

This analysis reveals differences in skin structure and temperature effects on lizard species, highlighting ecological adaptations.

Skin structure variation among the three lizard species indicates adaptations to their environments.
Histological differences in epidermal layers were observed, with implications for temperature resilience.
Hot regions lead to unique skin shedding patterns and increased parasite activation in lizards.
Temperature fluctuations are crucial for lizard viability during active periods outside shelters.

Najafov et al. (2025) studied this question.
