Thermal physiology of Amazonian lizards (Reptilia: Squamata)
PLoS ONE, 2018 We summarize thermal-biology data of 69 species of Amazonian lizards, including mode of thermoregulation and field-active body temperatures (Tb). We also provide new data on preferred temperatures (Tpref), voluntary and thermal-tolerance ranges, and ...

Using life history to predict outcomes of conservation translocations of herpetofauna
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We collected data on key life history traits for all herpetofauna profiled in the IUCN Global Conservation Translocation Perspectives series to examine how life history can predict outcomes and difficulties of conservation translocations. The relationships we found provide important insights for conservation practitioners that can be used in the ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

Diversity, distribution and conservation of the terrestrial reptiles of Oman (Sauropsida, Squamata)
PLoS ONE, 2018 In the present work, we use an exceptional database including 5,359 records of 101 species of Oman’s terrestrial reptiles together with spatial tools to infer the spatial patterns of species richness and endemicity, to infer the habitat preference of ...

Cooperative and plural breeding by the precocial Vulturine Guineafowl
Ibis, EarlyView.Cooperative breeding in birds is thought to be more common in altricial species, with few described cases in precocial species. However, cooperative breeding may also be more difficult to detect in precocial species and could have been overlooked. We investigated whether precocial Vulturine Guineafowl Acryllium vulturinum breed cooperatively and, if so,
