Biological impacts of climate warming are predicted to increase with latitude, paralleling
increases in warming. However, the magnitude of impacts depends not only on the degree …

Theory on trophic interactions predicts that predators increase plant biomass by feeding on
herbivores, an indirect interaction called a trophic cascade. Theory also predicts that …

We summarize thermal-biology data of 69 species of Amazonian lizards, including mode of
thermoregulation and field-active body temperatures (Tb). We also provide new data on …

I present distribution data of all Dactyloidae, Hoplocercidae, Iguanidae, Leiosauridae,
Polychrotidae and Tropiduridae lizards known from the Brazilian Amazonia, totaling 40 …

We compared reproduction, diet, and body size of Polychrus acutirostris (Squamata:
Polychrotidae) from the Cerrado and Caatinga biomes in Brazil. Because these two biomes …

The scarcity of data on natural history and ecology of lizards still limits the understanding of
population dynamics for many species. We attempt to evaluate possible effects of climate …

The Anolis chrysolepis species group is distributed across the entire Amazon basin and
currently consists of A. bombiceps and five subspecies of A. chrysolepis. These lizards are …

Lizards can thrive in harsh habitats, sometimes adapting their diets to withstand
environmental conditions. Seasonality is one of the most prevalent drivers that modifies …

Aim Rising global temperatures are predicted to increase ectotherms' body temperatures,
benefitting some species but threatening others. Biophysical models predict a key role for …

The degree to which microhabitat elements such as shade from shrubs are used by lizards
and the relative importance of such factors compared to others (eg, prey availability) remains …
