patterns of cranial ontogeny in lacertid lizards: morphological and allometric disparity. | we explored the ontogenetic dynamics of the morphological and allometric disparity in the cranium shapes of twelve lacertid lizard species. the analysed species (darevskia praticola, dinarolacerta mosorensis, iberolacerta horvathi, lacerta agilis, l. trilineata, l. viridis, podarcis erhardii, p. melisellensis, p. muralis, p. sicula, p. taurica and zootoca vivipara) can be classified into different ecomorphs: terrestrial lizards that inhabit vegetated habitats (habitats with lush or sparse vegeta ... | 2013 | 23278889 |
the role of metabolism in understanding the altitudinal segregation pattern of two potentially interacting lizards. | sympatric species from the same ecological guild, that exhibit partial altitudinal segregation, can potentially interact in areas of syntopic occurrence. besides general species' ecology, physiology can provide important answers about species interactions reflected in altitudinal patterns. lizards podarcis muralis and iberolacerta horvathi exhibit partial altitudinal segregation, while they strongly resemble in overall morphology and ecology (diet, daily and seasonal activity pattern), but show ... | 2015 | 25194990 |
