Physiology–microhabitat matching may help organisms cope with the thermal and hydric challenges under climate change: a tale of two lizards [PDF]
Ecography, EarlyView.Climate change is significantly affecting biodiversity, and organisms that depend on external temperature – such as ectotherms – are particularly vulnerable to these effects. Microhabitats provide refuge for species, thereby reducing exposure to thermal and hydric stress under climate change.

HABITAT UTILIZATION BY THE TEXAS HORNED LIZARD (PHRYNOSOMA CORNUTUM) FROM TWO SITES IN CENTRAL TEXAS [PDF]
, 2017 The Texas Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum) is found in a variety of habitats. Although several studies have been conducted on habitat use by this species, none have been performed in central Texas, a more mesic habitat than most of those previously ...

Reproductive inequalities in the acanthocephalan Corynosoma cetaceum: looking beyond "crowding" effects [PDF]
, 2018 Background: At present, much research effort has been devoted to investigate overall (average) responses of parasite populations to specific factors, e.g., density-dependence in fecundity or mortality. However, studies on parasite populations usually pay

Ecology and co-existence of two endemic day gecko (Phelsuma) species in Seychelles native palm forest [PDF]
, 2011 In island ecosystems, reptiles play diverse ecological roles as a result of niche broadening, which increases potential niche overlap between species. Ecological niche partitioning is a means of reducing direct competition between coexisting species and ...

The importance of microhabitat for biodiversity sampling.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Responses to microhabitat are often neglected when ecologists sample animal indicator groups. Microhabitats may be particularly influential in non-passive biodiversity sampling methods, such as baited traps or light traps, and for certain taxonomic ...
