Reproductive cycles of two iguanid lizards from northern Chile, Tropidurus quadrivittatus and Tropidurus theresioides

Journal of Arid Environments, 1986
The seasonal reproductive cycle was studied in two species of Tropidurus from northern Chile. Tropidurus quadrivittatus was collected from a coastal locality, while Tropidurus theresioides was collected from the bordering Atacama desert at 1250 m. No rainfall occurs in either area. Reproductively active T.

Sintopy of two Tropidurus lizard species (Squamata: Tropiduridae) in a rocky Cerrado habitat in Central Brazil [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2004
We studied the ecology of Tropidurus itambere and T. oreadicus that occur syntopically in rocky habitats of Cerrado vegetation in central Brazil during the dry season (April to September 2000).

Short‐term impact of a wildfire on the homeostasis of Tropidurus oreadicus lizards

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2023
Abstract Wildfires cause significant changes in natural habitats and can impact lizard populations. Through changes in the thermal environment, reduced prey availability, and increased exposure to parasite vectors, wildfires affect lizard physiology, immunity, and health.

On the Biology of Tropidurus delanonis, Baur (Iguanidae)

Zeitschrift für Tierpsychologie, 1978
AbstractA field study of Tropidurus delanonis was carried out on an uninhabited island (Hood) of the Galapagos Archipelago over 18 months. The purpose of the study is to show the interrelation between social structure, behaviour and ecological aspects of the iguanid lizard Tropidurus delanonis.

The voices of an alleged mute: sound emissions in a Tropidurus lizard

Behaviour, 2021
Abstract Although the major Squamata lineages are primarily oriented by chemical or visual sensory systems, many lizards are able to use acoustic information and several species produce sounds. However, while gekkotans are renowned by their complex vocal repertoires, sounds of other lizards are much less known ...

Spatial-temporal variation of parasites in Cnemidophorus ocellifer (Teiidae) and Tropidurus hispidus and Tropidurus semitaeniatus (Tropiduridae) from Caatinga areas in northeastern Brazil

Parasitology Research, 2014
Parasites are natural regulators of their host populations. Despite this, little is known about variations in parasite composition (spatially or temporally) in environments subjected to water-related periodic stress such as the arid and semiarid regions. The objective of this study was to evaluate the spatial-temporal variation in endoparasite species'

Postnatal neurogenesis in the medial cortex of the tropical lizard Tropidurus hispidus

Neuroscience, 2005
Young, adult and presumed old specimens of the tropical lizard Tropidurus hispidus, living in an almost steady warm habitat, have been the subjects of a 5-bromodeoxiuridine immunocytochemical study to label proliferating brain cells. All animals showed abundant 5-bromodeoxiuridine-labeled nuclei in the ependyma of their telencephalic lateral ventricles,

A Field Study of the Lava Lizard (Tropidurus Albemarlensis) in the Galapagos Islands

Ecology, 1967
The effect of removal of the parietal eye (parietalectomy) was studied in free—living lava lizards at the Charles Darwin Research Station in the Galapagos Islands, and the results were compared with those obtained with parietalectomized temperate zone iguanids.

A new microendemic species of Tropidurus (Squamata: Tropiduridae) from southern Brazil and revalidation of Tropidurus catalanensis Gudynas & Skuk, 1983.

Zootaxa, 2013
The South American and cis-andean lizard genus Tropidurus has a complex taxonomic history. Most species were recently described and previous revisions included few specimens from the southern part of the continent. Tropidurus torquatus has the broadest geographic distribution in the genus and several morphological and ecological differences were ...
