Relaciones humano-lagartijas mexicanas

Herpetología Mexicana, 2022
Lizards, like the rest of the reptiles, represent a significant part of mexican biodiversity. The increase in the human population has caused the habitats of these animals to be invaded by anthropogenic activities. Although habitat disturbance is a threat, species often adapt to these environments.

Lizard thermoregulation revisited after two decades of global warming

Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 12, Page 3022-3035, December 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although the effects of global warming on thermoregulation are usually explored using predictions of climate envelop modelling, such effects should best be analysed empirically, studying the same population with the same methods after a long enough period of temperature

Combining surface and soil environmental DNA with artificial cover objects to improve terrestrial reptile survey detection

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Reptiles are increasingly of conservation concern due to their susceptibility to habitat loss, emerging disease, and harvest in the wildlife trade. However, reptile populations are often difficult to monitor given the frequency of crypsis in their life history.

Heads nods and boat bobs: Behavior of Iguana iguana is affected by environment and boat traffic in riparian tropical forest

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 820-828, July 2022., 2022
Although frequently studied in captivity, less is known about Iguana iguana (green iguanas) in the wild. In this study behaviour of riparian I. iguana was collected alongside climate, vigilance, and eco‐tourism boat traffic data. Observations showed boat tourism can potentially affect I. iguana negatively.

Estimating encounter location distributions from animal tracking data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 7, Page 1158-1173, July 2021., 2021
Abstract Ecologists have long been interested in linking individual behaviour with higher level processes. For motile species, this ‘upscaling’ is governed by how well any given movement strategy maximizes encounters with positive factors and minimizes encounters with negative factors.
