Body growth is typically thought to be indeterminate in ectothermic vertebrates. Indeed, until
recently, this growth pattern was considered to be ubiquitous in ectotherms. Our recent …

As postulated by life‐history theory, not all life‐history traits can be maximized
simultaneously. In ectothermic animals, climate warming is predicted to increase growth …

Endothermic and ectothermic amniotes differ in the timing of reproductive onset, with reptiles
initiating reproduction before reaching final body size. Long-term consequences of maternal …

Squamate reptiles have been considered to be indeterminate growers for a long time.
However, recent studies demonstrate that bone prolongation is stopped in many lizards by …

Herbicide exposure poses a higher risk to reptiles due to their frequent contact with soil.
Besides, food restriction is also a common environmental pressure that can seriously affect …

Ectothermic vertebrates such as reptiles were assumed to be indeterminate growers, which
means that there is no terminal point in time or size for growth in their lifetime. In recent …

In contrast to mammals and birds, reptiles have been considered as indeterminate growers,
whose growth reflects differential allocation of resources to growth versus other energetically …

Růst byl u plazů historicky považovaný za neukončený. Tento obecně sdílený předpoklad
byl v posledních letech zpochybněn a narůstaly důkazy o ukončeném růstu u ještěrů. Tento …

High levels of stress are known to accelerate biological aging in susceptible individuals,
often leading to a downward course of ill health and early death. This review explores how …

El modelado demográfico en los estudios ecológicos es una herramienta de importancia
para conocer la dinámica poblacional y el estado de conservación de las poblaciones …
