Generation length of the world's amphibians and reptiles

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
Variation in life histories influences demographic processes, from adaptive changes to population declines leading to extinction. Among life history traits, generation length offers a critical feature to forecast species' demographic trajectories such as population declines (widely used by the IUCN Red List) and adaptability to environmental change ...
