Ebenavia tuelinae is a gecko species of the genus Ebenavia that is native to the Comoro Islands.
Ebenavia is a small genus of geckos from Madagascar, Comoros, and Tanzania. It currently has 6 species.
The Madagascar spiny forests is an ecoregion in the southwest of Madagascar. The vegetation type is found on poor substrates with low, erratic winter rainfall. The ecoregion contains an outstanding proportion of endemic plant species and is listed as one of the 200 most important ecological regions in the world; one of the Global 200.
Ebenavia maintimainty is a small nocturnal gecko species of the genus Ebenavia native to Madagascar. It is found in a small area of limestone cliffs east of Lake Tsimanampetsotsa on the Mahafaly Plateau. This habitat forms part of the Madagascar spiny thickets ecoregion.
The Madagascar clawless gecko is a small nocturnal species. It is found on the Indian Ocean islands of Madagascar, Mauritius, the Comores and Pemba island. By day they hide under the bark of big rainforest trees or in leaf litter. Despite their name, females of the species do have claws.
Tsimanampetsotsa National Park also spelt Tsimanampetsotse, and known as Tsimanampetsotsa Nature Reserve is a 432 km2 national park on the south-west coast of Madagascar in the region Atsimo-Andrefana. The park is 90 kilometres (56 mi) south of Toliara and 950 kilometres (590 mi) south of the capital, Antananarivo. Route Nationales (RN) 10 to Faux Cap passes the park and the nearest airport is at Toliara. The national park contains and is named after Lake Tsimanampetsotsa.
Crenadactylus, the clawless geckos, are named for their distinguishing feature, the absence of terminal claws on the digits. They are the only Australian members of Diplodactylidae to lack claws, the endemic genus is also the smallest in size.
Leaf-toed gecko is a common name for some species and genera of gecko and refers to a divided, expanded adhesive pad at the distal end of the toe, resembling a ginkgo leaf. Members of the following genera are commonly called "leaf-toed" geckos:

Paleontology or palaeontology is the study of prehistoric life forms on Earth through the examination of plant and animal fossils. This includes the study of body fossils, tracks (ichnites), burrows, cast-off parts, fossilised feces (coprolites), palynomorphs and chemical residues. Because humans have encountered fossils for millennia, paleontology has a long history both before and after becoming formalized as a science. This article records significant discoveries and events related to paleontology that occurred or were published in the year 2018.
Crenadactylus horni, the Central Uplands clawless gecko, is a species of gecko endemic to the central desert region of Australia.
Ebenavia boettgeri is a small species of gecko that is native to the island of Madagascar. It is sometimes considered conspecific with Ebenavia inunguis.
Ebenavia safari is a gecko species of the genus Ebenavia that is native to Madagascar, Mayotte, and Pemba Island.
Uroplatinae is a subfamily of geckos in the family Gekkonidae. At least 28 genera have been found to be cluster in a clade together. In the past this was once a monotypic subfamily that included Uroplatus.
