Multiple paternity in reptiles: patterns and processes
The evolution of female promiscuity poses an intriguing problem as benefits of mating with
multiple males often have to arise via indirect, genetic, effects. Studies on birds have …

Sex ratio bias, male aggression, and population collapse in lizards
The adult sex ratio (ASR) is a key parameter of the demography of human and other animal
populations, yet the causes of variation in ASR, how individuals respond to this variation …

Ecological consequences of sexually selected traits: an eco-evolutionary perspective
Evolution is rapidly gaining attention as an important driver of ecological process. Yet,
evolution via sexual selection has generally been omitted from this emerging synthesis. Our …

The seasonal timing of oviposition in sand lizards (Lacerta agilis): why early clutches are better
We studied a population of sand lizards (Lacerta agilis) near the northern edge of the
species' range in coastal Sweden. We captured, marked, released and recaptured 98 adult …

Effect of water constraint on growth rate, activity and body temperature of yearling common lizard (Lacerta vivipara)
We investigated the effect of water constraints on yearling Lacerta vivipara, a widespread
species of lizard inhabiting European peat bogs and heath land. We conducted a laboratory …

Reproducing in a changing world: combined effects of thermal conditions by day and night and of water constraints during pregnancy in a cold‐adapted ectotherm
Climate change will continue to increase mean global temperatures with daily minima
increasing more than daily maxima temperatures. Altered rainfall patterns due to climate …

Thermoregulatory responses to environmental seasonality by the lizard Lacerta vivipara
R Van Damme, D Bauwens, RF Verheyen - Herpetologica, 1987 - JSTOR
Seasonal patterns of body temperatures and thermoregulatory behavior were studied in the
temperate zone lizard Lacerta vivipara. Monthly mean body temperatures of free-ranging …

Evolutionary maintenance of sexual dimorphism in head size in the lizard Zootoca vivipara: a test of two hypotheses
L Gvozdík, R Van Damme - Journal of Zoology, 2003 - cambridge.org
Zootoca vivipara is a small lizard that shows sexual dimorphism in head size. Males have
larger heads than females of the same body size. By observing matings and aggressive …
