Arginine vasotocin inhibits social interactions and enhances essential activities in male common lizards (Zootoca vivipara).

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that injection of AVT reduced testosterone level and affected social behavior in different ways depending on the size of an individual, which is concordant with previous results obtained in this species in studies on stress suggesting that AVT may act through its influence on corticosterone secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climate dependent heating efficiency in the common lizard.

TL;DR: The results show that heat gain is faster for lizards with a higher body condition, but also for individuals from habitats with higher amount of precipitation, demonstrating that environmentally induced constraints can shape biophysical aspects of thermoregulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Social Games and Genic Selection Drive Mammalian Mating System Evolution and Speciation.

TL;DR: The proposed genic mating system theory can explain mating system transitions regardless of resource distribution and provides alternative explanations, such as evolutionary inertia, when resource ecology and mating systems do not match.
Journal ArticleDOI

Habitat thermal quality for Gopherus evgoodei in tropical deciduous forest and consequences of habitat modification by buffelgrass.

TL;DR: In this paper , the thermal quality of the primary habitat of Gopherus evgoodei (TDF) was evaluated and the potential thermal changes due to habitat modification by buffelgrass.
