| the coachella valley fringe-toed lizard (uma inornata): genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of an endangered species. | a phylogeny was reconstructed for 23 populations of fringe-toed lizards (genus uma) from the three most northern species of the genus, including the mojave fringe-toed lizard u. scoparia, the colorado desert fringe-toed lizard u. notata, and the endangered coachella valley fringe-toed lizard u. inornata. the outgroup taxa were the zebra-tailed lizard, callisaurus draconoides; the lesser earless lizard, holbrookia maculata; and the greater earless lizard, cophosaurus texanus. evaluation of 1630 c ... | 2001 | 11277627 |
| feeding time strategies of the fringe-toed lizard, uma inornata, during breeding and non-breeding seasons. | i examined the foraging behavior during the breeding and non-breeding seasons, may and july 1986, of the fringe-toed lizard uma inornata (iguanidae). during the breeding season males differ from females in their diet and in their foraging time strategy, males exhibiting time minimization and females energy maximization. in may, plant associated foods were selectively eaten. males concentrated on flowers, a readily available quick energy food, which reduced foraging time and increased time for re ... | 1992 | 28313399 |
