This study compared the distributions of ten species of Liolaemus lizards in the central Chilean Andes to the distributions of four types of parasites: malaria-causing Plasmodium, gut nematodes, ticks, and mites. We wanted to see if parasite numbers

Publikováno v: Conservation Biology. 9:107-113

We report on the evolutionary change in bill size of a species of Hawaiian honeycreeper resulting from an apparent dietary shift caused by dramatic declines and extinctions of lobelioids, a historically favored nectar source. Although it now feeds ma

We review factors influencing Liolaemus distributions in the central Chilean Andes and suggest areas of future research. Our previous studies reveal that lizard parasites (ectoparasitic mites and ticks, and the endoparasite Plasmodium) do not set Lio

Size-related activity patterns in an herbivorous lizard

Autor: John H. Carothers

Publikováno v: Oecologia. 57:103-106

A study of the pre-breeding season behavior of a colony (N=16) of Ctenosaura hemilopha revealed significant differences among the four size classes with respect to time of activity. Comparisons of lizard size classes showed that the smaller lizards e
