Artificial Water Point for Livestock Influences Spatial Ecology of a Native Lizard Species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Pastoralism is a major agricultural activity in drier environments, and can directly and indirectly impact native species in those areas. We investigated how the supply of an artificial watering point to support grazing livestock affected movement and ...

Evolutionary Ecology of Lizards [PDF]
, 2022 Except for latitudinal and elevational extremes, lizards range across a vast variety of biotopes worldwide, including environments as disparate as deserts, prairies, temperate woodlands, rainforests, or anthropic habitats. Although most species thrive on

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022 In temperate, polar and montane environments, ectotherms must find ways to endure throughout the coldest months of the year. Lizards search for microsites where temperatures remain warm or alter their biochemical balance to tolerate freezing or avoid it ...

Integration of Bayesian molecular clock methods and fossil-based soft bounds reveals early Cenozoic origin of African lacertid lizards [PDF]
, 2009 Background Although current molecular clock methods offer greater flexibility in modelling historical evolutionary events, calibration of the clock with dates from the fossil record is still problematic for many groups.

Candidatus Cryptoplasma Associated with Green Lizards and Ixodes ricinus Ticks, Slovakia, 2004–2011
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018 During 2004–2011, we collected green lizards and Ixodes ricinus ticks in Slovak Karst National Park in Slovakia; 90% (36/40) of lizards and 37% of ticks removed from lizards were infected with family Anaplasmataceae bacteria. Only Candidatus Cryptoplasma
