TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the reproductive cycle of Sceloporus grammicus from two localities in Hidalgo, Mexico: La Estanzuela (LE) and Tilcuautla (TIL) of the Municipality of Mineral del Chico and San Agustin Tlaxiaca, respectively.

TL;DR: Elevation appears to influence litter size in viviparous lizards of the Sceloporus grammicus complex, however, relatively little of the variation is explained by elevation; thus, other factors are likely making substantial contributions to the observed litter-size variation.

TL;DR: Diet of S. grammicus is mainly insectivorous with a tendency to specialization on coleopterans and hymenopterans, but this species could be a generalist at some time during the year as indicated by this study.

TL;DR: It is suggested that there can be variation in sexual size-dimorphism within and among species that can limit the ability to make broad generalizations about the phylogenetic patterns of sexual dimorphism in Sceloporus.

TL;DR: Variation in habitat use and morphology among populations is an adaptive response to the environmental conditions where these populations of Sceloporus grammicus occur, and the analysis of covariance indicated that there is no increase in the morphological variables with increasing SVL between sexes.
