Anomalous phenotype; polydactyly, adactyly, hyperregeneration, trematodes & mutations are observe in amphibians. Similarly, beside the the aforementioned reasons what are other associated phenomenon responsible & may suspected to influence such developments in terrestrial skinks (Scincidae) as well. Please suggest, thanks a ton.
Although I am not a specialist in the field of amphibians, I know for sure that my colleagues carried out this research in Russia. One of the reasons for this is environmental pollution. This was primarily observed on the territory of large cities. Subsequently, we found that the reason for everything is the high content of heavy metals.
