Journal ArticleDOI

Use of niche models in invasive species risk assessments.

TL;DR: This work highlights that, in the case of invasive species, distributional predictions should aim to derive the best hypothesis of the potential distribution of the species by using all distributional information available, including information from both the native range and other invaded regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global warming and positive fitness response in mountain populations of common lizards Lacerta vivipara

TL;DR: Using long-term data on common lizards collected in southern France, it is shown that individual body size dramatically increased in all the four populations studied over the past 18 years, and it might be concluded that the common lizard has been advantaged by the shift in temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemosensory discrimination of familiar and unfamiliar conspecifics by lizards: implications of field spatial relationships between males

TL;DR: Results are compatible with individual discrimination through chemical cues in male L. monticola, and suggest that the ability of territorial lizards to discriminate between scents of neighbors and non-neighbors might contribute to decreasing the costs of aggressive interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Responses of female lizards, Lacerta monticola, to males' chemical cues reflect their mating preference for older males

TL;DR: The quality and/or quantity of male pheromones could communicate to the female heritable male genetic quality and thereby serve as the basis of adaptive female choice in lizards.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global estimation of invasion risk zones for the western corn rootworm Diabrotica virgifera virgifera: integrating distribution models and physiological thresholds to assess climatic favourability

TL;DR: The combination of holistic and reductionist approaches are highlighted as a useful protocol to evaluate models and infer causality in combating future potential invasions, spreads and secondary contact zones of insect pests by reducing uncertainty regarding where to allocate prevention and ⁄ or eradication efforts.
