Sexual selection and the descent of man, 1871-1971
TL;DR: In the first full discussion of sexual selection since 1871, leading biologists brought modern genetic theory and behavior observation to bear on the subject as mentioned in this paper, and the result is a remarkably original and well-rounded view of the whole concept that will be invaluable especially to students of evolution and human sexual behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonsynchronous Spatial Overlap of Lizards in Patchy Habitats
TL;DR: The first observation may be related to the first in the following way: nonsynchronous spatial overlap could dictate relatively great resource overlap for species coinhabiting patchy or edge areas, requiring great differences between the species in prey size in addition to those in climatic habitat.
Journal ArticleDOI
The critical thermal maximum: history and critique
TL;DR: A literature review of previous studies to describe the history of the study of thermal tolerance and show the chronological trends in the use of lethal temperature and critical thermal maximum methods and illustrate the diversity of taxa used in thermal-tolerance studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body Temperatures of Reptiles
TL;DR: There are often specific, generic, and family differences in thermal tolerances and preferances, though some reptiles show wide ranges of thermal tolerance with no "preferred" body temperature, while others have narrow activity ranges and preferences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary strategies in lizard reproduction.
TL;DR: This paper poses questions concerning reproductive strategies which have evolved among one group of vertebrates (the lizards), and provides quantitative data to answer them, and presents comparable data from birds, the vertebrate group most thoroughly studied in this respect.

The Competitive Exclusion Principle
TL;DR: By emphasizing the very aspects that might result in their denial of them were they less plain the authors can keep the principle explicitly present in their minds untit they see if its implications are, or are noty as unpleasant as their subconscious might suppose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical Methods in Biology
TL;DR: In this article, the basic idea of significance tests based on the normal distribution was introduced. But the significance test was not applied in the context of factorial experiments, and it was not considered in this paper.

Thermoregulation in reptiles; a factor in evolution.
TL;DR: With their elaborate mechanisms to produce heat internally, the birds and mammals are appropriately characterized as endothermic, unlike the reptiles that derive heat internally.
