Anti–predator behaviour changes following an aggressive encounter in the lizard Tropidurus hispidus [PDF]
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.

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

First Record of leucism in Tropidurus hispidus (Spix, 1825) (Squamata: Tropiduridae) in north Brazil, Eastern Amazon [PDF]
In vertebrates leucism does not occur frequently in nature but has been recorded in amphibians and reptiles. Herein we report the first record of leucism in Tropidurus hispidus from north Brazil, Eastern Amazon.
