Out of the fire and into the frying pan: Hostile post‐fire thermal conditions reduce activity windows for reptiles

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change and intensified fire regimes are reshaping ecosystems globally. Reptiles, as ectotherms, rely on microhabitat shelters to buffer against thermal extremes, yet the capacity of these shelters to persist or function following fire remains poorly understood ...

The effect of prenatal environment on brain mitochondrial function and prey detection in a lizard

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The ability to detect prey is crucial for survival in many animals. However, prey detection is a cognitive process that can be influenced by early life conditions such as prenatal stress or temperature.

Beyond thermoregulation: Active behavioural regulation of ultraviolet light exposure by a free‐ranging lizard

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 ...

Contextually conspicuous species are more likely to be venomous: Habitat‐dependent aposematic colouration found throughout snakes

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.

Cryptic variation within and among islands in the ultraviolet reflectance of lizard throat coloration

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 ...
