Exempel på hur man kan använda SQUAMATES i en mening

• Like all other squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales.
• Sauria is the clade of diapsids containing the most recent common ancestor of Archosauria (which includes crocodilians and birds) and Lepidosauria (which includes squamates and the tuatara), and all its descendants.
• Modern squamates which have made their own adaptions to allow them to spend significant time in the ocean include marine iguanas and sea snakes.
• Modern examples of tetrapods without a quadratojugal include salamanders, mammals, birds, and squamates (lizards and snakes).
• Mosasaurus possessed excellent vision to compensate for its poor sense of smell, and a high metabolic rate suggesting it was endothermic ("warm-blooded"), an adaptation in squamates only found in mosasaurs.
• A hemipenis (: hemipenes) is one of a pair of intromittent organs of male squamates (snakes and lizards).
• Unlike in other amniotes, the egg tooth of squamates is an actual tooth which develops from the premaxilla.
• Toxicofera (Greek for "those who bear toxins") is a proposed clade of scaled reptiles (squamates) that includes the Serpentes (snakes), Anguimorpha (monitor lizards, beaded lizards, and alligator lizards) and Iguania (iguanas, agamas, and chameleons).
• Autarchoglossa is a clade (evolutionary grouping) of squamates that includes skinks, anguimorphs, snakes, and relatives.
• Apart from the taxa named here, fossils of unnamed squamates and neosuchian crocodyliforms have been discovered in the formation.
• The jaws of Edestus were operated by a two gear system, involving double jointing of the quadrate bone allowing for forward and backward movement of the lower jaw, similar to the streptostyly seen in living squamates, with an estimated force output of 1907 newtons.
• The only other Triassic rib-gliding reptiles were the kuehneosaurids, which are usually interpreted as lepidosauromorphs distantly related to rhynchocephalians (such as the tuatara) and squamates (such as lizards and snakes).
• They are widely accepted as diapsids, but experts have variously placed them on the reptile family tree among Lepidosauromorpha (squamates, rhynchocephalians and their relatives), Archosauromorpha (archosaurs and their relatives), ichthyosaurs, and/or other marine reptiles.
• Most reptiles are oviparous, although several species of squamates are viviparous, as were some extinct aquatic clades — the fetus develops within the mother, contained in a placenta rather than an eggshell.
• Along with Iberosucus, the site yielded fossils of squamates, such as iguanids, Varanoid, serpents etc.
• Iguanians are also the only squamates that primarily use their sight to identify and track prey rather than chemoreception or scent, and employ an ambush technique of catching prey instead of active searching.
• They are generally considered to be rhynchocephalians that lie outside of Sphenodontia, but in some analyses they are recovered as more closely related to squamates than to sphenodontians.
• The element in phytosaur skulls anterior to the external nares, located between the nasal, maxilla and premaxilla, has traditionally been referred to as the septomaxilla, however it probably is not homologous to the septomaxillae of squamates and synapsids.
• The type locality of Tricouté 3, in the basal part of the Marnes d’Auzas Formation, has yielded only a crocodilian tooth, The Cassagnau's fauna is also located near Marignac-Laspeyres and includes several fish (Lepisosteidae, Phyllodontidae, Sparidae), various crocodylians including teeth of a Musturzabalsuchus-like form and a complete skull attributed to Thoracosaurus neocesariensis, two squamates (an indeterminate lizard and a varanoid form which is probably a freshwater mosasauroid), a probable enantiornithe bird, an indeterminate dromaeosaurid (known only by teeth), and an indeterminate lambeosaurine hadrosaur.
• Finally, the "septomaxillae", probably not homologous to the septomaxillae of squamates and synapsids, do not contact one another and do not form part of the internarial septum.
