Performance of Cerrado lizards: a test of the center–periphery hypothesis
Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.The center–periphery hypothesis (CPH) states that species' demographic performance declines from the center towards the periphery of their geographic range due to increasingly suboptimal environmental conditions. We tested the predictions under the CPH using two lizard lineages with different activity patterns and distributions, taking lizard body ...
