Reconstructed Dynamics of Rapid Extinctions of Chaparral‐Requiring Birds in Urban Habitat Islands
TL;DR: The distribution of native, chaparral-requiring bird species was determined for 37 isolated fragments of canyon habitat ranging in size from 0.4 to 104 hectares in coasta4 urban San Diego County, California as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultraviolet visual sensitivity in desert iguanas: implications for pheromone detection
TL;DR: Behavioural tests comparing the responses of desert iguanas, Dipsosaurus dorsalis, to conspecific femoral gland secretions and to controls showed that the secretions are relatively non-volatile, but possess pheromonal activity at close range.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tongue-flicking and biting in response to chemical food stimuli by an iguanid lizard (Dipsosaurus dorsalis) having sealed vomeronasal ducts: Vomerolfaction may mediate these behavioral responses.
TL;DR: In the iguanid lizardDipsosaurus dorsalis, chemical food stimuli were discriminated from other odorants by vomerolfaction and abilities to detect and discriminate food chemicals were abolished in lizards having sealed vomeronasal ducts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that a "conservation triage" scheme is not appropriate because resources are not as limited as often assumed, and it is not evident that there are species that cannot be recovered.
