Abstract Background Life history theory predicts that during the lifespan of an organism, resources are allocated to either growth, somatic maintenance or reproduction. Resource allocation trade-offs determine the evolution and ecology of different l

Life history theory predicts that species with shorter lifespan should show higher investments into growth and reproduction at the expense of immune defenses. Labord's chameleon (Furcifer labordi) is the tetrapod with the shortest known life span. To

Life histories, demographies and population dynamics of three sympatric chameleon species (Furcifer spp.) from western Madagascar

Publikováno v: Amphibia-Reptilia. 40:41-54

The life histories and population dynamics of chameleons remain poorly known, most likely due to practical challenges related to their cryptic nature. However, several studies have indicated that some of these reptiles have unusually brief life histo

Highly variable lifespan in an annual reptile, Labord’s chameleon (Furcifer labordi)

Autor: Cornelia Kraus, Falk Eckhardt, Peter M. Kappeler

Publikováno v: Scientific Reports
Scientific Reports, Vol 7, Iss 1, Pp 1-5 (2017)

Among tetrapods, the current record holder for shortest lifespan is Labord’s chameleon, Furcifer labordi. These reptiles from the arid southwest of Madagascar have a reported lifespan of 4–5 months during the annual rainy season and spend the maj
