Are reproductive life history traits of Australian three-lined skinks fixed or phenotypically plastic?
Telemeco, Rory S. (2009)Reptile viviparity is strongly associated with cool climates in interspecific comparisons, but intraspecific comparisons provide an even stronger opportunity to identify causal pathways and distinguish facultative (plastic) ... -
Determining population boundaries and densities of red-eared slider turtles (Trachemys scripta) : an empirical field test.
Beshara, Andrea L. (2009)Source-sink metapopulations consist of large source subpopulations surrounded by smaller sink subpopulations where predictable migrations correlate with habitat favorability. From 1996-2003, Trachemys scripta were trapped ... -
Effects of habitat complexity on male socio-spatial behavior and mating system dynamics in collared lizards.
Braun, Cody A. (2016)Territory defense typically involves costly behavioral tactics that may detract from mating opportunities and other fitness enhancing activities. Selection on males therefore is expected to result in their establishing ... -
Sexual selection, alternative reproductive tactics and sexual conflict in collared lizards : integration of molecular and behavioral ecology.
York, Joshua R. (2014)Sexual selection theory often predicts that socially dominant males should sire more offspring than males adopting subordinate social tactics. However, it is often difficult to determine the extent to which this expected ... -
Social modulation of androgens and glucocorticoids in territorial male collared lizards.
Curtis, Jennifer L. (2010)"The challenge hypothesis predicts that breeding strategy and degree of parental care may modulate within season hormone levels and androgen responsiveness to social challenges in males. Hirschenhauser and Oliveira (2006) ...
