Microcystins (MCs) are hepatotoxic secondary metabolites produced by several genera of cyanobacteria.

- Nigeria has diverse ecosystems, which significantly affect how reptiles, like the red-headed rock agama, evolve and adapt in different habitats.
- Research revealed distinct genetic lineages in the agama, closely linked to ecological regions, geographic isolation, and environmental factors like climate conditions.
- The study suggests that habitat fragmentation, particularly in western Nigeria, poses threats to these lizards, indicating an urgent need for conservation efforts.
