question: What do Reptiles and Chic have in common?
answer: magazine
context: Title: Sexual selection in scaled reptiles
  Passage: Sexual selection in scaled reptiles studies how sexual selection manifests itself in snakes and lizards, which constitute the squamata order of reptiles. Over three thousand species of snakes each use different tactics in acquiring mates.  Ritual combat between males for the females they want to mate with includes topping, a behavior exhibited by most viperids in which one male will twist around the vertically elevated fore body of its opponent and forcing it downward.  It is common for neck biting to occur while the snakes are entwined.
  Title: Archosauromorpha
  Passage: Archosauromorpha (Greek for "ruling lizard forms") is an infraclass of diapsid reptiles that first appeared during the middle Permian and became more common during the Triassic.  It was defined by Jacques Gauthier, Arnold G. Kluge and Timothy Rowe (1988) as the group containing "archosaurs [i.e. Crocodylia, dinosaurs, birds, and several extinct orders] and all other saurians that are closer to archosaurs (s.s.) than they are to lepidosaurs (s.s.)" [i.e. tuataras, lizards, and snakes].  In a later publication, Michel Laurin (1991) defined Archosauromorpha as the clade containing the most recent common ancestor of "Prolacerta", "Trilophosaurus", "Hyperodapedon" and archosaurs and all its descendants; David Dilkes (1998) formulated a more inclusive definition of Archosauromorpha, defining it as the clade containing "Protorosaurus" and all other saurians that are more closely related to "Protorosaurus" than to Lepidosauria.
  Title: Archosauriformes
  Passage: Archosauriformes (Greek for 'ruling lizards', and Latin for 'form') is a clade of diapsid reptiles that developed from archosauromorph ancestors some time in the Late Permian (roughly 250 million years ago).  It was defined by Jacques Gauthier (1994) as the clade stemming from the last common ancestor of Proterosuchidae and Archosauria; Phil Senter (2005) defined it as the most exclusive clade containing "Proterosuchus" and Archosauria.  These reptiles, which include members of the family Proterosuchidae and more advanced forms, were originally superficially crocodile-like predatory semi-aquatic animals about 1.5 meters (5 ft) long, with a sprawling elbows-out stance and long snouts.  Unlike the bulk of their therapsid contemporaries, the proterosuchids survived the catastrophe at the end of the Permian, perhaps because they were opportunistic scavengers or because they could retreat into water to find respite from an overheated climate.  Any such scenarios are hypothetical; what is clearer is that these animals were highly successful in their new environment, and evolved quickly.  Within a few million years at the opening of the Triassic, the proterosuchids had given rise to the Erythrosuchidae (the first sauropsids to totally dominate their environment), which in turn were the ancestors of the small agile Euparkeriidae, from which a number of successfully more advanced families – the archosaurs proper – evolved rapidly to fill empty ecological niches in the devastated global system.  The Archosauria includes crocodylians, birds, and their extinct relatives.  The archosaurs were the only members of the Archosauriformes which survived the late Triassic extinction.
  Title: Culiseta
  Passage: Culiseta is a genus of mosquitoes.  Most "Culiseta" species are cold-adapted, and only occur in warmer climates during the colder parts of the year or at higher elevations where temperatures are lower.  Species found in Southern California are larger than most mosquitoes species, specifically "Cs.  inornata", "Cs.  particeps" and "Cs.  incidens".  These species are found throughout the year in Southern California and feed on several vertebrate species encompassing birds, livestock, rodents, reptiles and humans.  The larvae of most species are found in ground waters such as bogs, marshes, ponds, streams, ditches, and rock pools, but an African species occurs in tree holes ("phytotelmata"), a common eastern Palaearctic species occurs in water wells and rock pools, and several Australian species occur underground.  Little is known about the blood-feeding habits of females.  Most species feed on birds and mammals, but a few feed on reptiles. Several species attack domestic animals and occasionally humans.
  Title: Tetracynodon
  Passage: Tetracynodon is an extinct genus of therocephalian.  Fossils of "Tetracynodon" have been found in the Karoo Basin of South Africa.  Two species are known: the type species "T. tenuis" from the Late Permian and the species "T. darti" from the Early Triassic.  Both species were small-bodied and probably fed on insects and small vertebrates.  Although "Tetracynodon" is more closely related to mammals than it is to reptiles, its braincase is very primitive and shares more in common with modern amphibians and reptiles than it does with mammals.
  Title: Desert grassland whiptail lizard
  Passage: The desert grassland whiptail lizard ("Aspidoscelis uniparens") is an all-female species of reptiles.  It was formerly placed in the genus "Cnemidophorus".  "A. uniparens" have limited social stimuli, having only two basic needs: finding food and avoiding predators.  A common predator of the whiptail lizard is the leopard lizard, that prey on "A. uniparens" by using ambush and stalk haunting tactics.  These reptiles reproduce by parthenogenesis.  In this process, eggs undergo a chromosome doubling after meiosis, developing into lizards without being fertilized.  However, ovulation is enhanced by female-female courtship and "mating" (pseudo-copulation) rituals that resemble the behavior of closely related species that reproduce sexually.
  Title: Reptiles (magazine)
  Passage: Based in Irvine, California, "Reptiles" magazine is a North American magazine dedicated to the reptile and amphibian pet hobby, specializing in the keeping and breeding of these animals.
  Title: Chic (magazine)
  Passage: Chic was a pornographic magazine started by Larry Flynt, of "Hustler" fame in 1976.  The first issue was published in November 1976.
  Title: Forked tongue
  Passage: A forked tongue is a tongue split into two distinct tines at the tip; this is a feature common to many species of reptiles. Reptiles smell using the tip of their tongue, and a forked tongue allows them to sense from which direction a smell is coming.  Sensing from both sides of the head and following trails based on chemical cues is called tropotaxis.  It is unclear whether forked-tongued reptiles can actually follow trails or if this is just a hypothesis.
  Title: Biting
  Passage: Biting is a common behaviour which involves the opening and closing of the jaw found in many animals.  This behaviour is found in reptiles, mammals, fish and amphibians.  Arthropods can also bite.  Biting is a physical action an attack but it is a normal activity or response in an animal as it eats, carries objects, softens and prepares food for its young, removes ectoparasites from its body surface, removes plant seeds attached to its fur or hair, scratching itself, and grooming other animals and for defense.  Animal bites often result in serious infections and mortality.  Dog bites are commonplace, with children the most commonly bitten and the face the most common target.
