Population Regulation of Frogs and Lizards in a Lowland Wet Neotropical Forest: Integrating Alternative Hypotheses [PDF]
Populations can be regulated in space and time from the “bottom-up” by resources (e.g., food), from the “top-down” by predation, or from parallel factors, such as interactions with conspecifics or heterospecifics. Amphibians and reptiles are species rich

Delayed escape responses of male Basiliscus plumifrons (Squamata: Corytophanidae) during peak activity [PDF]
Delayed escape responses of male Basiliscus plumifrons (Squamata: Corytophanidae) during peak activity. Many animals must balance their time spent active in a habitat against their perceived risk of predation.
