Abstract:

Male growth is best described by a von Bertalanffy growth model and female growth by a logistic growth model. This sexual dimorphism is correlated with greater relative surface activity and lower survivorship of juvenile males when compared to juvenile females. Early-hatching (first clutch) offspring exhibit greater body size and survivorship compared to late-hatching (second clutch) offspring. (Abstract shortened with permission of author.)

Abstract:

The understanding of diversification of intraspecific lineages can shed light on speciation processes and ultimately biogeographic patterns across multiple spatial and temporal scales. In this dissertation I investigated the geographical and ecological factors promoting diversification across the South American dry diagonal biomes (i.e. Cerrado, Chaco, and Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests - SDTFs), through a coupled approach between multilocus phylogeographic and geospatial methods, in the larger context of interpreting the consequences of the resulting patterns for the conservation of biodiver

Abstract:

<p> The main goal of this study was to determine the thermal ecology of the small tree lizard <i>Urosaurus ornatus</i> in a Chihuahuan Desert landscape. The study site was located at Indio Mountains Research Station (IMRS), Hudspeth County, Texas. We obtained body temperature (Tb) data on 385 lizards collected from April 2007 to June 2014 during the active period using a cloacal thermometer. Additionally, we recorded air temperature (Ta) and substrate temperature (Ts) of lizard microhabitats at the time of capture, and the operative temperature of lizard models left in the sun and shade from M

Abstract:

Explaining spatial and temporal variation in the abundance of species is one of the primary goals of ecology. Habitat selection, the behaviour that organisms use to choose habitat patches that maximize fitness, can explain patterns in abundance between patches at small spatial scales within the dispersal capacity of the species. However, habitat selection models assume there is a reduction in individual fitness as population density increases due to increased competition between individuals. Ectotherms, which often select habitats based on temperature, a density-independent resource, may not d

Abstract:

I focus on phylogenetic relationships of teiid lizards beginning with generic and species relationship within the family, followed by a detailed biogeographical examination of the Caribbean genus Pholidoscelis, and end by studying species boundaries and phylogeographic patterns of the widespread Giant Ameiva Ameiva ameiva. Genomic data (488,656 bp of aligned nuclear DNA) recovered a well-supported phylogeny for Teiidae, showing monophyly for 18 genera including those recently described using morphology and smaller molecular datasets. All three methods of phylogenetic estimation (two species

Mestrado em Ecologia Aplicada<br>A evolução do nicho climático é um dos principais fatores a moldar as dinâmicas da diversidade de muitos grupos de plantas e animais. Esta relação não revela um padrão generalizável ao longo de regiões e grupos taxonómicos. De facto, os efeitos da evolução do nicho climático na taxa de diversificação poderão ser idiossincráticos. Contudo, algumas limitações nos métodos que são usualmente usados para testar tal relação poderão condicionar o estudo destes eventos macroevolutivos. Aqui, pela primeira vez, testamos a relação entre a evolução do nicho climático e ta

Definition of new species in previous studies based mainly on direct observation on reptile blood smears. However, specimens with low infection intensity could result to false-negative during the evaluation process. In recent years, molecular technique provides novel detection methods with higher precision. In this research, I collected 1,196 lizard specimens from 6 population in different seasons, and recorded at least two different phyla (Apicomplexa and Nematoda) of hemoparas

Abstract:

碩士<br>國立中興大學<br>生命科學系所<br>100<br>Many animals locate critical resources, including water, food, mates and shelter, which typically increases their exposure to predators. In order to survive, the ability to detect the presence of predators is important. I examined tree lizards (Japalura swinhonis) responded to the odours or visual stimuli of threat snakes. I tested “the threat sensitivity hypothesis ” : prey can use chemical cues, visual cues to assessment the different level of risk by predator, and respond in a graded manner in accordance with the threat posed by the predator.

Besides coloration, other characteristics, such as marking patterns or appearance (body shape), can be used in prey recognition by predators. In the present study, I modified the number, size, colour of spots, and body patterns (stripes, circles and mesh) of markings Pachyrhynchus tobafolius and their shapes (cut off a fore wing of cricket, and attached to the elytra of weevils) to test how the Japalura swinhonis recognize the weevils as an unpalatabl
