Field tests of a general ectotherm niche model show how water can limit lizard activity and distribution

MR Kearney, SL Munns, D Moore… - Ecological …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Mechanistic forecasts of how species will respond to climate change are highly desired but

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

S CHAMAILLÉ‐JAMMES, M Massot… - Global Change …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Recent global warming threatens many species and has already caused population‐and

Fitness of juvenile lizards depends on seasonal timing of hatching, not offspring body size

DA Warner, R Shine - Oecologia, 2007 - Springer
To understand how selection shapes life-history traits, we need information on the manner in
which offspring phenotypes influence fitness. Life-history allocation models typically assume …

Laboratory and field experiments identify sources of variation in phenotypes and survival of hatchling lizards

DA Warner, RM Andrews - Biological Journal of the Linnean …, 2002 - academic.oup.com
To understand the process of natural selection, relationships between phenotype and fitness
and sources of phenotypic variation must be known. We examined the importance of …
