The diversity of habitats generated by the Andes uplift resulted a mosaic of heterogeneous
environments in South America for species to evolve a variety of ecological and …

High Andean lizards in the Andes face numerous challenges in high‐altitude environments
characterized by significant temperature, spatial and temporal variations. These factors …

Better understanding how organisms respond to their abiotic environment, especially at the
biochemical level, is critical in predicting population trajectories under climate change. In …

The plastic capability of species to cope with the new conditions created by climate change
is poorly understood. This is particularly relevant for organisms restricted to high elevations …

The Liolaemus montanus group is a diverse group of lizards that ranges from central Peru to
southwestern Mendoza, Argentina, including much of the Plurinational State of Bolivia …

Short-legged, small, robust frogs of the family Craugastoridae present a remarkable beta-
diversity in the high Andes, their distributions being characterized by a very high degree of …

Environmental temperatures often regulate the activity and physiological processes of
ectotherms. Because environmental temperatures can vary significantly among seasons …

Mechanisms affecting consistent interindividual behavioral variation (ie, animal personality)
