The seven major locomotor modes for snakes (coloured squares) and/or lizards (coloured circles), as defined based on anatomical features, habitat use, and movement type, are indicated by the same colour code throughout the entire manuscript (see bottom left corner): limbless or limb-reduced burrower (red squares and circles); limbless or limb-reduced facultative burrower (purple squares and circles); limbless or limb-reduced multi-habitat using lateral undulation (orange squares and circles); limbless or limb-reduced multi-habitat using other movements (yellow squares); quadrupedal arboreal (dark blue circles); quadrupedal terrestrial (light blue circles); quadrupedal facultative bipedal/aerial (green circles). <strong>b</strong>&ndash;<strong>o</strong> 3D-volume rendering and high-resolution whole-brain segmentation of iodine-stained adult heads (<strong>b</strong>&ndash;<strong>h</strong>) highlighting the cerebellum structure (<strong>b</strong>&ndash;<strong>o</strong>, red colour) of selected representative squamates at indicated position in the phylogenetic tree: <em>Pantherophis guttatus</em> (<strong>b</strong>, <strong>i</strong>), <em>Epicrates cenchria</em> (<strong>c</strong>, <strong>j</strong>), <em>Pogona vitticeps</em> (<strong>d</strong>, <strong>k</strong>), <em>Draco volans</em> (<strong>e</strong>,<strong> l</strong>), <em>Bradypodion pumilum</em> (<strong>f</strong>, <strong>m</strong>), <em>Anguis fragilis</em> (<strong>g</strong>, <strong>n</strong>), <em>Melanoseps loveridgei</em> (<strong>h</strong>, <strong>o</strong>). High magnifications of 3D-rendered cerebella (<strong>i</strong>&ndash;<strong>o</strong>) are shown in pial surface (left panels) and lateral (right panels) views for each selected species. Scale bars: 1mm (<strong>b</strong>&ndash;<strong>h</strong>), 500 &mu;m (<strong>i</strong>&ndash;<strong>o</strong>).</p>
