Effects of incubation temperature on development, morphology, and thermal physiology of the emerging Neotropical lizard model organism Tropidurus torquatus [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Incubation temperature is among the main phenotypic trait variation drivers studied since the developmental trajectory of oviparous animals is directly affected by environmental conditions.

Closer to the Heart: Cardiac Muscle Aerobic Capacity Correlates With Intraspecific Variation in Sprint Performance Rather Than Androgen Levels in the Neotropical Lizard Tropidurus catalanensis. [PDF]
J Exp Zool A Ecol Integr PhysiolIn male lizards Tropidurus catalanensis, sprint locomotor performance correlates with cardiac aerobic capacity. ABSTRACT Assessments of the interplay between physiology and whole‐organism performance are fundamental to understand how individuals function in different ecological contexts.

Connectivity among thermal habitats buffers the effects of warm climate on life-history traits and population dynamics. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 2022 Through its effects on movement, landscape fragmentation may influence the response of populations to climate change. This 3‐year‐long experiment on common lizards demonstrates that habitat connectivity can drastically change the impacts of warming on life‐history traits and population dynamics.

Ancient Introgression Explains Mitochondrial Genome Capture and Mitonuclear Discordance Among South American Collared Tropidurus Lizards. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Mitonuclear discordance—evolutionary discrepancies between mitochondrial and nuclear DNA phylogenies—can arise from various factors, including introgression, incomplete lineage sorting, recent or ancient demographic fluctuations, sex‐biased dispersal asymmetries, among others.
