When a predator looks for its lunch and sees this gecko, it thinks it’s just an old, brown leaf and goes to look somewhere else.

Geckoes with high worm burdens may be more easily captured by predators, especially juvenile geckoes.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The number of endoparasite species and snout vent length of geckoes were positively correlated.

The prevalence and mean intensity of infection in each species of geckoes are also presented.

Outcrossing may, however, be reduced bygeckoterritorial behaviour.

Figures are number of geckos observed on inflorescences.
From theCambridge English Corpus
To examine geckos for pollen we pressed adhesive transparent tape onto dorsal and ventral sides of snouts of 96 geckos.
From theCambridge English Corpus
We inspected a large area around the release site and particular areas with high densities of geckos to resight marked ones.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Twenty-one adults and 12 juveniles were examined for geckos.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The present results are based on limited data and further investigations on the ecology and epidemiology of the parasites of house geckoes including climatic data, are required.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Observations were made from a distance of 2 m behind a mosquito net with a small observation hole to prevent geckos from being distracted by our presence.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Statistical power is limited with four samples, but there was an obvious positive association (r2 = 0.84) between the abundance of this diminutive diurnalgeckoand the coverage of leaf litter.
From theCambridge English Corpus
House geckoes and their parasites are also likely to be suitable models for studies on competition by introduced host species.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Eighty per cent of flower-visiting geckos were females and their activity peaked earlier than that of males.
From theCambridge English Corpus
A foraging bout was here defined as a visit to an inflorescence, starting from the time ageckobegan feeding and ending once the gecko left the inflorescence.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Some of the pores in the eggshell open through these nodes, similar to modern geckos, but unique among the dinosauroid-prismatic group of eggs.
