Animals often view humans as predators, leading to alterations in their behavior. Even
nuanced aspects of human activity like clothing color affect animal behavior, but we lack an …

When facing novel invasive predators, native prey can either go extinct or survive through
exaptation or phenotypic shifts (either plastic or adaptive). Native prey can also reflect stress …

Simple Summary Islands have long been acknowledged as model systems for studying
evolution, and within these, lizards and their blood parasites can be an ideal framework to …

Animals that are successful in urban habitats often have reduced antipredator responses
toward people (sometimes called “fear” responses). However, few studies test whether …

Lizards often respond to predators by hiding in sunless refuges, but this eliminates
opportunities for thermoregulatory basking. Hiding can therefore lower body condition …

This chapter discusses the impacts of human-induced environmental change, mostly by
reviewing this emerging literature. It focuses on behavioral and physiological responses and …

Turtles are being infected by both ectoparasites (typically leeches) and endoparasites
(typically blood parasites). It is unknown what the parasite intensity is of wild Central …

Protected areas (PAs) are the last refuges for wild biodiversity, yet human pressures (or
threats) are increasingly prevalent within their boundaries. Human pressures have the …

Humans have become major drivers of global environmental change and this change may
have consequences. From a wildlife conservation perspective, issues arise as to whether …

[ES] Todos los aspectos de la biología de los animales ectotermos están condicionados por
las temperaturas corporales, que a su vez dependen mucho de las temperaturas del hábitat …
