Covariation of life-history traits in lacertid lizards: a comparative study

D Bauwens, R Diaz-Uriarte - The American Naturalist, 1997 - journals.uchicago.edu
We analyzed patterns of life-history covariation within a clade of lacertid lizards, using the
method of phylogenetically independent contrasts. Examination of allometric relations and
correlations among life-history traits showed that species within this clade can be arranged
along a single, multivariate axis. At one end of this continuum are small-sized species that
mature early, have small clutches of relatively large young, may have multiple broods per
year, and have short adult lives. At the other extreme are the larger lacertids with the …
