TL;DR: Global extinction projections were validated with local extinctions observed from 1975 to 2009 for regional biotas on four other continents, suggesting that lizards have already crossed a threshold for extinctions caused by climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testosterone, Endurance, and Darwinian Fitness: Natural and Sexual Selection on the Physiological Bases of Alternative Male Behaviors in Side-Blotched Lizards
Barry Sinervo,Barry Sinervo,Donald B. Miles,W. Anthony Frankino,Matthew Klukowski,Dale F. DeNardo +5 more
TL;DR: Natural and sexual selection on physiological and behavioral traits that leads to the evolution of steroid regulation in the context of alternative male strategies are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of Covariation in Life History Traits of Squamate Reptiles: The Effects of Size and Phylogeny Reconsidered
Arthur E. Dunham,Donald B. Miles +1 more
TL;DR: The results are similar to Stearns' in demonstrating that phylogenetic effects cannot be ignored in analyses of the evolution of life history traits, and suggest that local adaptation, plasticity of response to local environmental heterogeneity, and physiological constraints are likely to be important determinants of lifehistory variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Correlation Between Ecology and Morphology in Deciduous Forest Passerine Birds
TL;DR: Although morphology predicts foraging behavior in this data set, considerable morphological variation is not related to the foraging variables that characterize the species' ecological relationships.
Journal Article
The race goes to the swift: fitness consequences of variation in sprint performance in juvenile lizards
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the differences in sprint performance influence prey capture and predator escape, and faster lizards may also select warmer microhabitats during favourable conditions, which may enhance growth rates but entail higher risks of predation.
