Life on the rocks: habitat use drives morphological and performance evolution in lizards

BA Goodman, DB Miles, L Schwarzkopf - Ecology, 2008‏ - Wiley Online Library
As a group, lizards occupy a vast array of habitats worldwide, yet there remain relatively few
cases where habitat use (ecology), morphology, and thus, performance, are clearly related …

Hot rocks and much-too-hot rocks: seasonal patterns of retreat-site selection by a nocturnal ectotherm

M Kearney - Journal of Thermal Biology, 2002‏ - Elsevier
(1) I studied seasonal patterns of diurnal retreat-site selection by a nocturnal, rock-dwelling
lizard Christinus marmoratus, as well as the way physical characteristics of potential retreat …

Wall lizards combine chemical and visual cues of ambush snake predators to avoid overestimating risk inside refuges

L Amo, P López, J Martı́n - Animal Behaviour, 2004‏ - Elsevier
The threat sensitivity hypothesis assumes that multiple cues from a predator should
contribute in an additive way to determine the degree of risk-sensitive behaviour. The ability …
