Intraspecific chemical recognition in the lizard Liolaemus tenuis
(Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, 1999)
Experimental tests were conducted to determine whether females and males of the tree-dwelling lizard Liolaemus tenuis (Tropiduridae) show intraspecific chemical recognition during breeding and postreproductive seasons. ...
Predation and spatial distribution of the lizard Podarcis hispanica atrata: An experimental approach
(Elsevier B.V., 1998)
This study reports on an experiment designed to quantify potential predation by birds on the lizard Podarcis hispanica atrata in the Columbretes islands (Castellon, Spain). We used plasticine replicas to examine predation ...
Lizard assemblages in a fragmented landscape of central Chile
(Springer, 2011)
We studied lizard assemblages assessing abundance,
richness, and nestedness in a fragmented landscape
of central Chile including native temperate forest, forest
fragments, and commercial pine plantations. Fragmentation
and ...
Ultrastructural aspects of dental tissues and their behavior in xenoplastic association (lizard quail)
(1983)
Ultrastructural characteristics of tooth buds of the polyphyodont adult lizards Liolaemus tenuis and Liolaemus gravenhorsti have been elucidated. Xenoplastic combinations of lizard whole tooth buds and neural crest cells ...
Some vaguely explored (but not trivial) costs of tail autotomy in lizards
(2007)
Lizard tail autotomy is considered an efficient anti-predator strategy that allows animals to escape from a predator attack. However, since the tail also is involved in many alternative functions, tailless animals must ...
Stable isotopes document mainland-island divergence in resource use without concomitant physiological changes in the lizard Liolaemus pictus
(2010)
Shifts in feeding ecology are believed to promote island-mainland divergence. The lizard Liolaemus pictus has several different subspecies on Chilean islands and mainland. These subspecies inhabit contrastingly different ...
One Solution for Two Challenges: The Lizard Microlophus atacamensis Avoids Overheating by Foraging in Intertidal Shores
(Pennsylvania State University, 2014)
In lizards, one of the most important behavioral mechanisms to cope with spatial and temporal variations in thermal
resources observed is activity time. The longer a lizard can maintain activity, the more time it has to ...
Searching for the audience of the weeping lizard's distress call
(2013)
The evolution and functions of avian and mammalian antipredator calls are well understood, which contrasts with a lack of progress in reptiles. Here, we present the first investigation of the functions of a distress call ...
Physiological flexibility and climate change: The case of digestive function regulation in lizards
(Elsevier, 2011)
Our planet is undergoing fast environmental changes,which are referred as global change. In this newscenario, it
is of paramount relevance to understand the mechanistic basis of animal responses to environmental change.
Here ...
Phylogeography of a mountain lizard species: An ancient fragmentation process mediated by riverine barriers in the Liolaemus monticola complex (Sauria: Liolaemidae)
(2007)
Liolaemus monticola is a mountain lizard species, with a widespread distribution from central Chile that displays several highly polymorphic chromosomal races. Our study determined the phylogeographic structuring and ...
