Physiological differences in preferred temperatures and evaporative water loss rates in two sympatric lacertid species.

TLDR
Assessment of physiological divergence in two sympatric lacertid lizards suggests that physiological mechanisms, ecological preferences and morphology probably allow these two species to overlap in their distribution while selecting different microhabitats and thus decreasing possible competition between them.

Environmental temperatures shape thermal physiology as well as diversification and genome-wide substitution rates in lizards

Joan Garcia-Porta, +45 more
TL;DR: The authors reconstruct the phylogeny of lacertid lizards and investigate how the evolution of this clade has varied with paleoclimates and how closely adapted extant species are to modern climates.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dehydration constrains thermoregulation and space use in lizards.

TL;DR: It is aimed for the first time to explore if lacertid lizards exposed to dehydration thermoregulate less precisely than hydrated lizards and if dehydratedLizards are less active, change the daily pattern of thermore gulation and balance water balance against thermoreGulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increase of genetic diversity indicates ecological opportunities in recurrent-fire landscapes for wall lizards.

TL;DR: This study confirms field-based censuses showing that recurrent-fire regimes give ecological opportunities to wall lizards that benefit from habitat openness and examines whether a recurrent fire regime may disrupt the spatial structure of populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variation in field body temperature and total evaporative water loss along an environmental gradient in a diurnal ectotherm

TL;DR: The first data for a lacertid lizard on the inter-population variability and sexual difference in water loss rates is presented and it is pointed out that water balance may play a fundamental role in regulating lizard activity during the hottest and driest period of the year.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fossil-calibrated time tree of Podarcis wall lizards provides limited support for biogeographic calibration models.

TL;DR: In this article, a robust time tree based on multilocus data and fossil calibrations using both gene concatenation and species-tree approaches and including models with gene-flow was inferred.

Mixed Effects Models and Extensions in Ecology with R

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply additive mixed modelling on phyoplankton time series data and show that the additive model can be used to estimate the age distribution of small cetaceans.

Mixed-Effects Models in S and S-PLUS

TL;DR: Linear Mixed-Effects and Nonlinear Mixed-effects (NLME) models have been studied in the literature as mentioned in this paper, where the structure of grouped data has been used for fitting LME models.
