Karyological Characterization of the Endemic Iberian Rock Lizard, Iberolacerta Monticola (Squamata, Lacertidae): Insights into Sex Chromosome Evolution
(Karger, 2013-12)
[Abstract] Rock lizards of the genus Iberolacerta constitute a promising model to examine the process of sex chromosome evolution, as these closely related taxa exhibit remarkable diversity in the degree of sex chromosome ...
Environmental temperatures shape thermal physiology as well as diversification and genome-wide substitution rates in lizards
(Springer Nature, 2019-09-09)
[Abstract] Climatic conditions changing over time and space shape the evolution of organisms at multiple levels, including temperate lizards in the family Lacertidae. Here we reconstruct a dated phylogenetic tree of 262 ...
Assessing Rensch’s Rule in a Newt: Roles of Primary Productivity and Conspecific Density in Interpopulation Variation of Sexual Size Dimorphism
(Wiley, 2019-08-28)
[Abstract] Aim: Major efforts have been devoted to understanding the geographic pattern of sexual size dimorphism (SSD). Rensch's rule posits that SSD increases with body size in male-biased SSD species and decreases with ...
Determinants of Mercury Contamination in Viperine Snakes, Natrix Maura, in Western Europe
(Elsevier, 2018-04-03)
[Abstract] The effects of Hg contamination are presumably widespread across the components of aquatic ecosystems, but investigations have been mainly focused on freshwater fish, because this biota represents a major source ...
A Test of the Substitution–Habitat Hypothesis in Amphibians
(Wiley, 2018-05-16)
[Abstract] Most examples that support the substitution-habitat hypothesis (human-made habitats act as substitutes of original habitat) deal with birds and mammals. We tested this hypothesis in 14 amphibians by using ...
