Behavior is one of the major architects of evolution: by behaviorally modifying how they
interact with their environments, organisms can influence natural selection, amplifying it in …

Abstract Background The systematics of Liolaemus magellanicus has been relatively well
researched, but despite its recognition as the southernmost lizard in the world, scant …

Twenty-one species of lizards are included in the southernmost clade of South America, the
Liolaemus lineomaculatus section. There are two hypotheses of species-grouping within this …

Mountains are among the most biodiverse regions on the planet, and how these landforms
shape diversification through the interaction of biological traits and geo-climatic dynamics is …

The Liolaemus lineomaculatus section is a geographically widely distributed group of lizards
from the Patagonian region of southern South America, and includes 18 described species …

An increase in temperatures and frequency of drought events are predicted in the High
Andes due to climate change. Species could respond with changes in its range, abundance …

The importance of the thermal environment for ectotherms and its relationship with thermal
physiology and ecology is widely recognized. Several models have been proposed to …

The trends of body temperatures in the field (Tb) and preferred body temperatures in the
laboratory (Tpref) of the genus Liolaemus relative to reproductive mode, air temperature …

Climate change and rising global temperatures pose a serious threat to biodiversity. We
assessed the vulnerability to global warming of four genera of iguanian lizards whose …

Reptiles that live in cooler environments hibernate longer and, when active, limit daily
activity times, allocate more time and energy toward thermoregulation, and consequently …
