Forest edges influence more than half of the world's forests and contribute to worldwide
declines in biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, predicting these declines is …

We review the ecological consequences of habitat and microhabitat use in lizards. Different
habitats have different biotic and abiotic properties and thus are likely to have different …

The Caatinga is the largest seasonal dry tropical forest in South America and it has been
historically neglected in terms of its biodiversity. Regarding lizards, different studies led to …

As the first four-legged vertebrates, called tetrapods, crept up along the shores of ancient
primordial seas, feeding was among the most paramount of their concerns. Looking back …

Temperature increases can impact biodiversity and predicting their effects is one of the main
challenges facing global climate-change research. Ectotherms are sensitive to temperature …

Forest structure strongly influences ambient environmental conditions such as light and
temperature, but most studies on habitat selection by mobile organisms have either ignored …

Single‐tree harvesting with on‐site lumber production produces gaps in Amazonian forest
canopy that are structurally different from natural treefall gaps. Harvest gaps are much more …

Humans are rapidly altering natural systems, leading to changes in the distribution and
abundance of species. However, so many changes are occurring simultaneously (eg …

We studied the effects of natural and anthropogenic habitat disturbances on environmental
temperatures and their consequent effects on thermoregulation and habitat use of Ameiva …

We analyzed the thermal ecology and activity patterns of the lizard community from the
Restinga of Jurubatiba, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The broadest activity was that of Tropidurus …
