Lizards at elevation: thermal ecology and emergence activity of alpine lizards in Otago [PDF]
, 2020 The alpine zone is a rugged habitat that is difficult for any species to inhabit year-round. Many that do so are large mammals with specific behavioural or physiological adaptations that enhance survival in these high-elevation and often very cold ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study provides a clear demonstration of active ultraviolet (UV) regulation in free‐ranging lizards and supports that microhabitat choice likely constrains UV regulation more than thermoregulation. Overall, it serves to establish UV as a parallel regulatory axis of physiological homeostasis and expand the range of testable hypotheses in animal ...

The effect of body size on the thermoregulation of lizards on hot, dry Mediterranean islands
, 2013 Body size shapes the overall biology of organisms. We assessed the impact of size on temperature regulation in populations of normal-sized and large-bodied insular Mediterranean lizards (Podarcis gaigeae, Lacertidae).

We investigated the phenological variation of three genera of blood parasites of lizards (Schellackia, Karyolysus, and Lankesterella)using samples of 275 adult Psammodromus algirus and 138 Acanthodactylus erythrurus collected from April to September in ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study shows that projected ocean acidification does not alter behaviour or predation risk in coral reef fish, challenging earlier assumptions. By quantifying consistent individual‐level behavioural differences and relating individual traits to survival during a live‐predation trial, it also provides evidence for a boldness–predation trade‐off in a

OOCYTE AND FOLLICULAR DEVELOPMENT IN IMMATURE EASTERN FENCE LIZARDS
, 2023 The early stages of oogenesis and follicular organization occur in utero in mammals. In contrast, the early stages of oogenesis and follicular organization in reptiles occur during postnatal development.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Conspicuous colouration signals venomous nature throughout snakes. Abstract Many animals use conspicuous colours to advertise their unprofitability to potential predators, a phenomenon known as aposematism. For example, conspicuous banded patterns in snakes are often highlighted as aposematic signalling of their venomous nature.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Identifying the existence of ‘cryptic’ morphs is critical in animal ecology for providing a basis for accurately testing links between phenotype and environment. This study identifies the existence of previously undocumented variation in UV reflectance in Aegean wall lizards that likely has novel behavioural and evolutionary implications within this ...
