    abstract = {In this research, researchers studied gross and microscopical characteristics of the ovaries and their germinal beds in a newly reported lizard, <I>Acantodactylus boskianus</I> from Iran. Researchers found that in this species ovaries show variable morphology and located under the gut, just above the kidneys. Near to gonads hilum, a single germinal bed containing numerous oogonia and developing primordial follicles is observed that seems to be derived from the epithelium&#146;s gonad. The germinal bed shaped like a butterfly in histological sections and produces a single clutch per year. It seems that this single germinal bed has evolved from merging two separate beds.}
