Review of type specimens of lizards (Sauria: Lacertidae) described by Georgy Fedorovich Sukhov. - Proceedings of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, 324 (4): 506-524. 
×The paper provides data on the current location of the type specimens of lacertid lizard’s taxa described by herpe- tologist Georgy F. Sukhov (1899–1942), as at July 1, 2020: Lacerta agilis tauridica Suchow, 1927 (lectotype [here designated] – ZISP No 12620, paralectotypes – ZISP No 3226, 3235, 3238, 3856, 10366в, 12230, 12231, 12520, 12619, 14110, NMNH No 2152 (14599–14600), 2163 (14621–14622), 2172 (14705–14712), 2184 (14772–14773), 2184 (14774–14777), 2188 (14872–14893), 2279 (15983–16037), 2279 (16038–16074), 2518 (16621)), Lacerta boemica Suchow, 1929 (lectotype [here designated] – ZISP No 30363, paralectotypes – ZISP No 16210, 30358- 30362, 30364-30398.1, NHM No 1960.1.4.26–30, 1965.337–342, NMNO no No), Apathya cappadocica urmiana Lantz et Suchow, 1934 (holotype – ZISP No 12657b, paratypes – ZISP No 11444, 12657a, c, 12658), Lacerta princeps kurdistanica Suchow, 1936 (holotype – ZISP No 11441.1, paratypes – ZISP No 11440, 11441.2–4, 11442, 11443). According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (4th edition), the name Lacerta agilis caucasica Suchow, 1927 should be considered as a junior primary homonym of Lacerta caucasica Méhely, 1909, and the designation of the neotype of L. a. tauridica by Kalyabina-Hauf et al. must be rejected. The history of de- scription of taxa as well as a list of Sukhov’s publications (12 articles published in 1927–1948) are given. Localities, collector’s names and dates of capture of the type specimens are clarified. Anderson and Šmíd et al. indicated that Eiselt restricted the type locality of L. princeps kurdistanica; this is not true.

Обзор типовых экземпляров ящериц (Sauria: Lacertidae), описанных Георгием Федоровичем Суховым. - Труды Зоологического института РАН, 324 (4): 506-524.

×В работе приводится информация о современных местах хранения типовых экземпляров таксонов ящериц, описанных герпетологом Георгием Федоровичем Суховым (1899–1942), по состоянию на 1 июля 2020 г.: Lacerta agilis tauridica Suchow, 1927 (лектотип [обозначается здесь] – ZISP No 12620, па- ралектотипы – ZISP No 3226, 3235, 3238, 3856, 10366в, 12230, 12231, 12520, 12619, 14110, NMNH No 2152 (14599–14600), 2163 (14621–14622), 2172 (14705–14712), 2184 (14772–14773), 2184 (14774–14777), 2188 (14872–14893), 2279 (15983–16037), 2279 (16038–16074), 2518 (16621)), Lacerta boemica Suchow, 1929 (лек- тотип [обозначается здесь] – ZISP No 30363, паралектотипы – ZISP No 16210, 30358-30362, 30364-30398.1, NHM No 1960.1.4.26–30, 1965.337–342, NMNO без No), Apathya cappadocica urmiana Lantz et Suchow, 1934 (голотип – ZISP No 12657b, паратипы – ZISP No 11444, 12657а, с, 12658), Lacerta princeps kurdistanica Suchow, 1936 (голотип – ZISP No 11441.1, паратипы – ZISP No 11440, 11441.2–4, 11442, 11443). Показано, что в соответствии с «Международным кодексом зоологической номенклатуры» (4-е издание) назва- ние Lacerta agilis caucasica следует считать младшим первичным омонимом Lacerta caucasica Méhely, 1909, а обозначение Калябиной-Хауф с соавторами неотипа L. a. tauridica должно быть отвергнуто. Приводится история описания таксонов и список публикаций ученого (12 статей, изданных в 1927– 1948 гг.). Уточнены локалитеты, коллекторы и даты сбора типовых экземпляров. Андерсон и Шмид с соавторами указали, что Айзельт ограничил типовое местонахождение L. princeps kurdistanica, что не соответствует действительности.

Embryonic and post‐embryonic responses to high‐elevation hypoxia in a low‐elevation lizard. - Integrative Zoology, 15 (4): 338-348.

×Low‐elevation species can migrate toward higher elevations to survive in a warming world. However, animals’ responses to hypoxia when migrating to high elevations have rarely been addressed. To identify the response of low‐elevation lizards to high‐elevation hypoxia, we collected field body temperatures (Tfb) and operative temperatures (Te) of lizards (Eremias argus) from a low‐elevation population (1036 m) and a high‐elevation population (2036 m), and then determined adult thermal physiology, embryonic development, and hatchling phenotypes after acclimating low‐elevation lizards and incubating their eggs in conditions mimicking the low‐elevation oxygen condition (18.5% O2) and high‐elevation oxygen (hypoxic) condition (16.5% O2). Our study revealed that Tfb and Te were higher for the low‐elevation population compared to the high‐elevation population. We also found adults from low elevation acclimated to hypoxia preferred lower body temperatures, but did not show changes in locomotor performance or growth. In addition, hypoxia did not affect embryonic development (hatching time and success) or hatchling phenotypes (body size and locomotor performance). These results suggest that adult lizards from low elevations can respond to hypoxia‐induced stress when migrating to high elevations by behaviorally thermoregulating to lower body temperatures in order to sustain normal functions. Similarly, low‐elevation embryos can develop normally (with unchanged hatching success and offspring phenotypes) under the high‐elevation hypoxic condition. This study highlights that low‐elevation populations of a species that inhabits a range of elevations can buffer the impact of high‐elevation hypoxic conditions to some degree and thus attain similar fitness to the source population.
