Feeding habits of the lizard Tropidurus hispidus (Spix, 1825) (Tropiduridae) in a transitional Caatinga-Rocky Field Habitat in Northeastern Brazil [PDF]

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia
We investigated the diet of the endemic Tropidurid lizard Tropidurus hispidus in a Caatinga (the semiarid biome in Northeastern Brazil) area of Morro do Chapéu, BA, Brazil. Lizards (n = 20) were collected and euthanized.

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 ...

Precipitation and Temperature‐Dependent Locomotor Performance Drive the Abundance of a Neotropical Lizard

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
We investigated how climate and ecophysiology affect the demography of the lizard Tropidurus oreadicus in the Brazilian Cerrado. While lizards were more frequently captured in the dry season, their abundance peaked during the rainy season when their locomotor performance was highest.

Where Art Thou? Urbanization Decreases Attacks on Sentinel Prey by Arthropods, but Not Birds, in a Tropical City

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.
We assessed predator–prey interaction responses to diverse land use and cover in urban and rural landscapes in a tropical city. We found a sharp decline in predatory arthropods driven by increased built‐up areas, while birds were unaffected by land cover and land use. Our results show that urbanization negatively affected predatory arthropods modifying

Taxonomy and Evolution of Tropidurus (Iguania, Tropiduridae) Based on Chromosomal and DNA Barcoding Analysis

, 2016
Tropidurus is a widespread genus of lizards in Brazilian biomes, particularly common in the state of Bahia, northeastern Brazil. However, genetic studies of populations and species of this group are still scarce.

Faunal Responses to Habitat Disturbance: Do the Principles Explaining Responses of Ant Communities Also Apply to Terrestrial Reptiles?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
Understanding biotic responses to disturbance and their underlying mechanisms is critical to effective biodiversity conservation, but a predictive understanding of how faunal communities respond to disturbance remains elusive. In this paper, we review the applicability of a disturbance framework centred on habitat openness to understand terrestrial ...

Macro- and microscopic brain anatomy of the amazon lava lizard (Tropidurus torquatus) (WIED, 1820)

Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2023
Reptiles have a key role in understanding amniotes’ reproductive independence of water. Many adaptations arose, including in locomotor patterns and behaviours, and the nervous system adapted to those new habits. We have described the macroscopic anatomy
