Effects of tail loss on the movement patterns of the lizard, Psammodromus algirus
J Martin, RA Avery - Functional Ecology, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
1. Many lizards use caudal autotomy as a defensive strategy. However, subsequent costs
related to the alteration of locomotor abilities might decrease the fitness of individuals. In this …

Differences in morphology, performance and behaviour between recently diverged populations of Podarcis sicula mirror differences in predation pressure
We investigated the possible role of variation in predation pressure in the phenotypic
divergence of two island populations of the Italian wall lizard, Podarcis sicula. In 1971, ten …

The effect of Mediterranean dehesa management on lizard distribution and conservation
Management of dehesas (ie oak woodland pastures) creates a patchwork of sectors that
differ in their structure and composition of understorey vegetation. We analysed whether …

Interspecific differences in responses to predation risk may confer competitive advantages to invasive freshwater turtle species
The nature of competitive interactions between native and introduced invasive species is
unclear. In the Iberian Peninsula, the introduced red‐eared slider (Trachemys scripta …

The effects of thermal biology and refuge availability on the restricted distribution of an alpine lizard
Aim In an effort to disentangle the ecological processes that confine ectotherms to alpine
environments, we studied the thermoregulatory and microhabitat selection behaviours of the …

Green tails in lizards of the genus Podarcis: do they influence the intensity of predation?
Juveniles of a variety of lizard species exhibit bright tail colors that contrast clearly to the
cryptically colored body. The" predator escape" hypothesis suggests that bright tail colors …
