Ecosystem size reverses the effect of the spatial coupling between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems

Oikos, EarlyView.
The flow of non‐living resources between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems can impact their ecosystem function. However, ecosystem size is similarly known to influence ecological properties and it is uncertain how the size of coupled ecosystems mediates the effect of resource flows.

Nesting in the lizard Phyllopezus pollicaris (Squamata: Phyllodactylidae) and a phylogenetic perspective on communal nesting in the family

Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2017
Communal nesting occurs in many reptile species. The hypotheses that explain the evolution of such behaviours are still controversial, but will be better understood as more communal nesting records are described in the literature.

Surviving on a Rock, but for How Long? Deviations in the Thermoregulatory Strategy of the Milos Wall Lizard (Podarcis milensis)

Animals
Reptiles are unable to generate metabolic heat and regulate body temperature behaviorally depending on environmental conditions. The thermal quality of their habitat is therefore of pivotal importance for their survival.

Linking differences in personality to demography in the wandering albatross

Oikos, EarlyView.
Population dynamics are shaped by individual differences. With a good understanding of the relationships between individual differences and vital rates, population models can be improved to yield more realistic and detailed demographic projections. Personality is expected to shape individual differences in performance.

Intestinal Coccidia (Apicomplexa: Eimeriidae) of Brazilian Lizards. Eimeria carmelinoi n.sp., from Kentropyx calcarata and Acroeimeria paraensis n.sp. from Cnemidophorus lemniscatus lemniscatus (Lacertilia: Teiidae)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2002
Eimeria carmelinoi n.sp., is described in the teiid lizard Kentropyx calcarata Spix, 1825 from north Brazil. Oocysts subspherical to spherical, averaging 21.25 x 20.15 µm. Oocyst wall smooth, colourless and devoid of striae or micropyle. No polar body or

Individual variation in perceived density of conspecifics and its impacts on the realization of ecological niches

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animals gather information about their surroundings, including their social environment, using a wide range of sensory modalities. Variation in reception, processing and interpretation of information (cues or signals) can lead to differences in how individuals perceive their local environment. Yet, how individual differences in environmental perception

Matching habitat choice could be brightness‐based instead of hue‐based in green‐brown polymorphic grasshoppers

Oikos, EarlyView.
Some prey species have evolved background matching, that is they resemble their surrounding environment in terms of colour and/or brightness. When prey populations inhabit patchy environments, they may even have evolved specialised phenotypes: each phenotype matching a specific subset of patches.

Taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationships of the desert monitor Varanus griseus caspius (Squamata: Varanidae) from the territory of Uzbekistan

Acta Biologica Sibirica
This study investigates the phylogenetic position and genetic diversity of Varanus griseus caspius, a widely distributed yet understudied subspecies of monitor lizard in Central Asia, with a focus on samples collected from Uzbekistan. Using DNA barcoding
