Any animal whose form or behavior facilitates the avoidance of predators or escape when
attacked by predators will have a greater probability of surviving to breed and therefore …

Systematic reviews and meta‐analyses often examine data from diverse taxa to identify
general patterns of effect sizes. Meta‐analyses that focus on identifying generalisations in a …

Published and original data on the degree of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) were collated
for 374 species of snakes from eight families, to test for predicted associations between SSD …

Relationships between morphology, physiology, or biochemistry, on the one hand, and
behavior and ecology, on the other, have been widely documented, as this volume attests …

Colour pattern variation is a striking and widespread phenomenon. Differential predation
risk between individuals is often invoked to explain colour variation, but empirical support for …

Sexual variation in body form is a common phenomenon in the natural world. Although most
research has focused on dimorphism in size, examination of differences in shape can …

I examined the long‐term consequences of a trade‐off between predation risk and resource
acquisition for the garden skink (Lampropholis guichenoti) by rearing hatchlings to maturity …

We examined how autotomy–induced shifts in behavior of a diurnal lizard (Lampropholis
guichenoti) and two natural snake predators influence the outcome of predatory interactions …

Antipredator behavior was measured in four populations of zebra-tailed lizards (Callisaurus
draconoides) and two populations of greater earless lizards (Cophosaurus texanus). Lizards …

Incubation temperature affects a wide range of phenotypic traits of hatchling reptiles. The
main objective of this research was to determine if such phenotypic traits persist long …
