Abstract:

AbstractKaryotype analysis of 2 male horvath's rock lizard, Lacerta (Archaeolacerta) horvathi, found 2n = 36 in both somatic and spermatogonial metaphases. All the chromosomes are acrocentric. In diakinesis, 18 bivalents are visible. Microchromosomes, characteristic of most lacertid karyotypes, are absent in this species. In a single metaphase, satellites were observed on the 8th pair of chromosomes. Male sex chromosomes have not been determined. Overall, the karyotype of Lacerta horvathi is similar to that of Lacerta vivipara,

Abstract:

AbstractCytological and molecular evidence is provided to characterize the sex chromosomes of several species of Lacertidae. Observations on pachytene and lampbrush stages show that sex chromosomes have different condensation cycles and are only partially paired during meiosis. Bkm probe hybridization to Pst I-treated genomic DNA of Podarcis sicula and Lacerta vivipara shows the same pattern both in males and females. In situ hybridization of the same probe to Lacerta vivipara chromosomes shows no preferential localization of this DNA sequence. The results obtained clearly exclude the possible involvement of Bkm in sex-chromosome differentiation in the species investigated.

Abstract:

AbstractSex chromosomes were studied in eight species of lacertid lizards using C-banding, G-banding and restriction enzyme treatment. All of the species showed female heterogamety. The W chromosome was a microchromosome in Lacerta graeca and Ophisops elegans. Two types of W were found in Lacerta vivipara; in specimens from The Netherlands it was metacentric, whereas in specimens from Russia it was acrocentric or subtelocentric. The W chromosome was homomorphic or nearly homomorphic but completely C-banded and heterochromatic in Lacerta agilis, Podarcis hispanica, Algyroides moreoticus and A. nigropunctatus. In was only possible to find sex chromosomes using the G-banding method in Podarcis sicula. The results obtained, together with data in the literature, suggest that sex chromosomes are likely to be present in all Lacertidae and that their differentiation took place repeatedly and independently in different taxa within the family. A model for sex chromosome evolution in the family, in which the starting point was the heterochromatization of the W chromosome, is proposed.

Abstract:

Evolution of viviparity in reptiles has resulted in more or less complete regression of the eggshell membrane. Such a regression has been studied in a lizard, Lacerta vivipara, which has both oviparous and viviparous populations. In oviparous reproduction, eggs laid have parchmentlike eggshells with a mean thickness of 36 μm. These eggshell membranes are composed of fibrils and of calcite, which is distributed over the outer surface and in the interfibrillar matrix. In viviparous reproduction, a transparent eggshell membrane remains between the embryonic and maternal tissues throughout pregnancy. This membrane consists mainly of fibrils and has only minor traces of calcite. Its mean thickness is only 9 μm. Reduction of thickness and of calcification is thought to be an adaptation that allows better respiratory exchanges at the end of pregnancy, when embryos require more oxygen. The author emphasizes that species with bimodality of reproduction (oviparity and viviparity) are of considerable interest in research investigating the evolution of viviparity in reptiles.

Abstract:

The lizard Lacerta vivipara has both oviparous and viviparous populations. Experimental crossbreedings (oviparous strain × viviparous strain) in the laboratory have previously allowed us to obtain a hybrid strain. Hybrids have also laid eggs in the laboratory. The aim of the present study was to determine the eggshell characteristics of the hybrid and to compare them with the characteristics previously studied in the oviparous and viviparous strains. The mean thickness of the eggshell is 21 μm for the hybrid, 40 μm for oviparous eggshell, and 9 μm for the viviparous eggshell membrane. Mean dry mass of the eggshell is 3 mg for hybrids, 5 mg for the oviparous strain, and 0.6 mg for the viviparous strain. Ash mass of the eggshell is 0.79 mg for hybrids, 1.05 mg for the oviparous strain, and 0.22 mg for the viviparous strain. Fibrils were observed in both oviparous and hybrids' eggshells and in the viviparous eggshell membrane. The outer surface of the hybrids' eggs presents both places with a calcareous layer (61%) and places where fibrils are not covered with a calcareous layer (39%). These incompletely calcified eggshells are intermediate between the oviparous eggshells (complete calcareous layer) and the regressed eggshell membrane (fibrils with minor traces of calcite) observed during the gestation of the viviparous lizards. This situation is of considerable interest for further experimental studies dealing with physiological and genetic aspects of the evolution of viviparity.

Abstract:

AbstractLacerta vivipara est un lézard présentant à la fois des populations ovipares et vivipares. La survie et l'incubation des œufs ont été étudiées pendant quatre ans dans deux populations ovipares de cette espèce, à Louvie (370 m) et à Gabas (1100 m) dans les Pyrénées françaises. Dans la population de Louvie 25 à 56% des jeunes femelles de un an participent à la reproduction. Et la plupart des femelles adultes (âge>=2 ans) réalisent deux pontes par an. Dans la population de montagne de Gabas aucune femelle de un an ne participe à la reproduction, et moins de 20% des femelles adultes réalisent une deuxième ponte annuelle. Dans les conditions climatiques normales la période des premières pontes est comprise entre la deuxième et la dernière semaine de juin à Louvie, et entre la dernière semaine de juin et la mi-juillet à Gabas. La période de deuxième ponte a généralement lieu au cours de la deuxième quinzaine de juillet à Louvie, et au cours de la première quinzaine d'aout à Gabas. Le printemps frais de 1991 occasiona un retard de 2 semaines pour les périodes de pontes et d'éclosion de cette année. Un grand nombre de sites de pontes ont été découverts entre 1 et 3 cm de profondeur sous les mousses des tourbières étudiées. Dans les deux populations l'incubation des premières pontes dure environ 40 jours pour une température moyenne d'incubation de 18°C à 20°5. La durée moyenne d'incubation se réduit à moins de 30 jours les deuxièmes pontes de Louvie incubées à une température moyenne de 20°5 à 21°5. Les survies moyennes de œufs à Louvie et Gabas ont respectivement été de 0.49 et 0.84 pour les premières pontes et de 0.68 et 0.92 pour les seconde pontes. La prédation est la principale cause de mortalité des œufs et est particulièrement importante à Louvie. La courtillère Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa est très vraisemblablement responsable d'une grande partie (jusqu' à 44%) de la mortalité par prédation observée dans les pontes de Louvie. Les caractéristiques des populations ovipares ont été comparés à celles des populations vivipares précédemment étudiées. Ces données ne permettent pas de dégager des différences évidentes de dates de naissance et de taux de survie embryonnaire entre les deux modes de reproduction. En revanche elles confortent l'hypothèse théorique d'un accroissement de fécondité annuelle lié aux pontes multiples dans les populations ovipares de basse altitude.

Abstract:

Histochemical identification of lipids was performed on frozen sections of ovary and liver throughout thermal-induced vitellogenesis in the lizard Lacerta vivipara. Two classes of lipids were identified in both organs: triglycerides and phospholipids. The former are in a fluid state (stained by Sudan Black B), neutral (Nile Blue method), and unsaturated (reduce OsO4). The latter react to a dichromate–hematoxylin method and are acidic (Nile Blue method). Throughout vitellogenic growth, oocytes simultaneously accumulate triglyceride and phospholipids linked to polypeptide granules. Both types of lipid inclusions always remain distinct.

Abstract:

AbstractLacerta vivipara emerging from their overnight retreat before they had the opportunity to thermorcgulate moved with an alternation of locomotor bursts and pauses. Mean speed during bursts of locomotion fell with decreasing temperature from 3.21 snout-vent lengths (SVL) s-1 at the activity temperature (Tact ∼ 33°C) to 0.15 SVL s-1 at 5°C. Between Tact and 19°C the reduction was small (Q10 = 1.12) and statistically not significant; between 19°C and 5°C the change was very much greater (Q10 = 7.7). The pauses between locomotor bursts increased progressively in duration over the whole range of decreasing temperatures from Tact to 5°C, although the change from Tact to 23°C was not significant. Gait changed progressively from almost simultaneous movement of contralateral diagonal limbs at Tact to independent movement of limbs in the sequence LF, RH, RF, LH at 7°C, with increases in the mean duty factor of individual feet from 0.50 to 0.76 and in the proportion of time for which 3 or 4 feet were in simultaneous contact with the ground from 0 to 0.92.

Abstract:

AbstractThe probability that lizards would capture crickets declined with distance from the snout, at rates which were significantly more rapid in all directions in Lacerta vivipara than in Podarcis muralis or L. viridis, i.e. the former species responded to potential prey over a smaller area. Capture probabilities at any distance in front of or behind the snout were lower in P. muralis or L. viridis which were pausing during locomotion than in basking lizards, confirming previous results with L. vivipara. Using capture probabilities for pausing lizards to calculate the average time it would take to find a single item of prey (tf) in relation to the mean length of locomotor bursts, on the assumption that prey could only be detected while a lizard was pausing, showed that actual mean burst distance corresponded exactly with the burst distances which gave rise to minimum tf in L. vivipara. Mean locomotor burst distances in P. muralis and L. viridis were lower than the distances which gave minimum tf values. It is suggested that, in these species, the mean burst length has evolved as a compromise between minimising tf and avoiding the high overall energy expenditures which would result from long burst lengths.

Abstract:

One of the performance features that is generally considered crucial to increasing the potential prey spectrum of lizards is bite capacity. In this study we tested whether bite forces may serve as a basis for diet selection in two syntopically occurring lacertid lizards. We did so by measuring bite forces in vivo for a large sample of lizards of the species Podarcis muralis and Lacerta vivipara. To assess the ecological relevance of the bite forces, we tested the hardness of a number of natural prey items of both species. The results of our study support the predictions of biomechanical models of biting in lizards and indicate that both larger animals and larger headed ones bite harder. Surprisingly, head shape is an excellent predictor of bite performance in the species studied. Moreover, it is demonstrated that bite capacity is a potentially important ecological variable that could be used as a factor in explaining patterns of food-resource use, ontogenetic dietary shifts, and sexual dimorphism in diet.

Abstract:

A lowland population of Lacerta vivipara was studied near Paimpont, France. Under favorable climatic conditions, the young grow rapidly and approximately 50% of them can breed when they are 1 year old. This particular characteristic has not been found in previously studied populations from more northerly areas or mountain habitats; these individuals never reproduce before 2 years of age. Intraspecific, altitudinal, and latitudinal variations in the age of reproduction are discussed in relation to the direct influence of climatic conditions and the possible involvement of selective pressures.[Journal translation]

Abstract:

AbstractThe role of colour pattern and odiferous cues in sex identification by adult males of the lizard Lacerta vivipara was examined by observing their behavioural response towards several types of introduced conspecific adults. Reproductive males courted both receptive and non-receptive adult females. In addition, they courted introduced males that were painted to mimic the females' colour pattern, indicating that pigmentation functions in sex recognition. Responses of males to females painted as males, untreated females, and uniformly black painted females were identical. This demonstrates that males do not rely exclusively on colour pattern for sex recognition. Odour does not seem to be important as a secondary factor in stimulating courtship. The possible contribution of other stimuli to sex identification is discussed.

Abstract:

SummaryIn a series of Lacerta vivipara samples from southern France's central mountains, the distribution of genotypes at the mannose phosphate isomerase (MPI) locus has only been accountable as due to sex linkage in female heterogamety, provided the W chromosome carries only one of the two observed alleles in the populations sampled. This is in perfect accordance with cytogenetical data. Reasons are presented that seem to limit acceptable hypotheses for the recent origin of this sex-linked polymorphism to three: a founder effect, a point mutation in Z chromosomes after crossover suppression, or hitch-hiking with the translocation involved.

Abstract:

AbstractWe demonstrated that in the desert lizard Phrynocephalus interscapularis constitutive synthesis of both members of the hsp70 family of heat shock proteins takes place in summer. Elevation of environmental and body temperatures during the day was accompanied by a pronounced (2.0-2.5 times) increase in hsp70 synthesis. Synthesis of hsps continues during the day and drops to a basal level at night. Northern hybridization analysis demonstrated a higher content of hsp-coding RNA in the cells of P. interscapularis under normal physiological conditions in comparison with the lizard Lacerta vivipara, which inhabits regions with moderate climates.

Abstract:

AbstractOxygen consumption levels and metabolic rate temperature curves of various lizard species from three different climatic regions were examined in relation to ambient temperature. The species used in this research were as follows: Anguis fragilis, Lacerta vivipara, Lacerta agilis (cool temperate species); Blanus cinereus, Podarcis hispanica, Podarcis lilfordi brauni, Podarcis lilfordi lilfordi, Podarcis muralis, Psammodromus algirus, Tarentola mauritanica (warm temperate species); Chalcides ocellatus, Acanthodactylus opheodurus, Acanthodactylus schmidti (desert species). A double chamber volumetric closed system was used to measure the resting oxygen consumption of the lizards. Acute oxygen consumption determinations were made, that is the lizards were not allowed to acclimate to the test temperatures. Interspecific differences in levels of resting oxygen consumption and in the characteristics of the metabolic rate temperature curves were examined in relation to methods of thermoregulation and in relation to the ecology of the respective species. Evidence for "temperature dependent shifts" and "low thermal dependence" was found in the metabolic rate temperature curves of some species. A diminishing Q10 at or below the voluntary body temperatures suggests some degree of metabolic homeostatsis and energy conservation.
