Sexual size dimorphism (SSD) evolves because body size is usually related to reproductive
success through different pathways in females and males. Female body size is strongly …

Animal signals evolve by striking a balance between the need to convey information through
particular habitats and the limitations of what types of signals can most easily be produced …

Age and size-related life-history traits of animals are influenced by a variety of factors. In
connection with climate, the effect of altitude on demographic parameters may differ among …

Species with wide distribution, generally show variations in life history characteristics, which
can be attributed to environmental causes. In this study, we analyzed the reproductive cycle …

Populations and chromosomal races of a species often show variation in life-history
characteristics due to phylogeny and environmental factors. We analysed variation in snout …

In the present study, some demographic life-history parameters (eg, age structure, age upon
attaining sexual maturity, longevity, adult life expectancy, growth, and survival rate) and …

We investigated age structure, age at sexual maturity, lifespan, growth and survival rate and
adult life expectancy (as demographic life-history traits) as well as body size of two …

Variation in life history traits can arise from both genetic and environmental factors. We
investigated reproductive activity and variation in some life history traits among four lizard …

Morphology and resource use have a significant influence on lizard population dynamics. In
this study, sexual dimorphism and feeding ecology were assessed in a population of …

Populations of the same species that inhabit contrasting environments may be subject to
different selection pressures, promoted by the local environment. Therefore, the individuals …
