Ovarian follicular cycle of Tropidurus hispidus and Tropidurus semitaeniatus (Squamata: Tropiduridae) in a semiarid region of Brazil [PDF]
Zoologia, 2015 The reproductive cycle of Squamata reptiles is often associated with environmental conditions, such as rainfall. In this respect, seasonal variations may affect the morphology of the ovarian follicles, which are associated with vitellogenesis.

Anti–predator behaviour changes following an aggressive encounter in the lizardTropidurus hispidus [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 1999 Avoiding predators may conflict with territorial defence because a hiding territorial resident is unable to monitor its territory or defend it from conspecific intrusions. With persistent intruders, the presence of an intruder in the near past can indicate an increased probability of future intrusions.

Lizard predation by spiders: A review from the Neotropical and Andean regions. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 In this study, we analyze for the first time the lizard consumption by spiders in the Neotropical and Andean regions, showing that the families Ctenidae and Theraphosidae may be relevant lizard predators in these areas. In addition, we provide the first report on spider predation upon a vertebrate taxon in the Andean region.
