Energetics in Liolaemini lizards: Implications of a small body size and ecological conservatism
(Springer Heidelberg, 2010-12)
Liolaemini lizards occur in southern South America in a variety of dietary habits across a broad latitudinal and altitudinal distribution. We studied standard metabolic rates of 19 Liolaemini species and analyzed these ...
Diet of the desert lizard Liolaemus pseudoanomalus (Iguania: Liolaemini) in northern La Rioja Province, Argentina
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011-11)
The diet of a species can help us to understand its natural history, ecological requirements, and strategies involved in searching for food. Liolaemus pseudoanomalus is a rare desert lizard where previous studies showed ...
Relationships among morphology, clinging performance and habitat use in Liolaemini lizards
(European Society for Evolutionary Biology, 2011-01)
The central tenet of ecomorphological theory holds that different ecological requirements lead to different organismal designs (morphology). Here, we studied the relationships between performance (interlocking grasping) ...
Disparate patterns of diversification within Liolaemini lizards
(Springer, 2019)
Lizards are a major component of temperate-to-tropical terrestrial vertebrate biotas, and have played a central role as model systems for evolutionary and ecological research. The most diverse lizard group of the southern ...
Evidence of hybridization in the Argentinean lizards Liolaemus gracilis and Liolaemus bibronii (IGUANIA: LIOLAEMINI): An integrative approach based on genes and morphology
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2011-11)
The lizard genus Liolaemus is endemic to temperate South America and includes more than 225 species. Liolaemus gracilis and L. bibronii are closely related species that have large and overlapping geographic distributions, ...
Sexual dimorphism and interspecific head variation in the Liolaemus melanops complex (Squamata: Liolaemini) based on geometric morphometrics
(British Herpetological Society, 2016-07)
By analysing size and shape separately, geometric morphometric methods (GM) are a powerful tool to evaluate morphological differences within and between taxa. In this work, we used GM to investigate whether lizards of the ...
Systematics and evolutionary relationships of the mountain lizard Liolaemus monticola (Liolaemini): how morphological and molecular evidence contribute to reveal hidden species diversity.
(2009)
The delimitation of species is a major issue in systematic biology and has been a re‐emerging discipline in the last decade. A number of studies have shown that the use of multiple data sets is critical for the identification ...
