(Springer, 2017)In migratory birds, mistimed arrival might have negative consequences for individual fitness, causing population declines. This may happen if arrival time is not synchronized with breeding time, especially when earlier ...
-
(2003)We explored chemical discrimination of own vs. novel space by different age classes (neonates, juveniles, and adults) of the lizard Liolaemus bellii, during pre- and post-hibernation seasons. We recorded the number of ...
-
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)The weeping lizard, Liolaemus chiliensis, emits distress calls when trapped by a predator. Conspecific lizards respond to such calls with prolonged immobility, which may increase their probability of remaining undetected ...
-
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2017)© 2017 Blackwell Verlag GmbH In songbirds, the development of the species-specific adult song involves a learning process that varies in extension. In species that incorporate new song elements throughout life (open-ended ...
-
(2003)The chemical composition of secretions of precloacal pores from two populations of the lizard Liolaemusfabiani (Puilar and Punta-Brava) were compared. This is an endemic species from the Atacama Salt Flat (26°46'S 68° 14'W; ...
-
(Springer Verlag, 2015)© 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg and ISPA.In a predator–prey interaction, the fitnesses of the predator and the prey depend on their abilities to recognize each other, a process that may involve different sensory ...
-
(Firenze University Press, 2014)© Firenze University Press. Liolaemid lizards and amphisbaenids have precloacal pores in the anterior border of the cloaca, where epidermal glands drain and expel pheromonal secretions. Precloacal glands occur usually only ...
-
(Elsevier, 2018)The microhabitat preferences of prey animals can modulate how they perceive predation risk, and therefore, their antipredator behaviour. We tested under standardized conditions how microhabitat preferences of two Liolaemus ...
-
(Springer, 2020)For a prey, its best ticket to stay alive is to get early and accurate information on predation risk and so, escape from predation at low cost. Some prey species have evolved the ability to eavesdrop signals intended for ...
-
(2002)For territorial organisms, recognition of familiar individuals can reduce the frequency and intensity of aggressive encounters ('dear enemy' phenomenon), stabilize social systems, and reduce the cost of territory maintenance. ...
-
(Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, 1999)Experimental tests were conducted to determine whether females and males of the tree-dwelling lizard Liolaemus tenuis (Tropiduridae) show intraspecific chemical recognition during breeding and postreproductive seasons. ...
-
(2012)Chemoreception is an important sensory modality used by lizards to assess their environments and to communicate. However, despite growing information regarding chemoreception in this taxon, its modulation by sex has been ...
-
(Wiley, 2020)Vertebrate predation by invertebrates has been classically underexplored and thus underestimated, despite the fact that many arthropods consume vertebrates. To shed some light on the relevance that spider predation may ...
-
Predation and spatial distribution of the lizard Podarcis hispanica atrata: An experimental approach (Elsevier B.V., 1998)This study reports on an experiment designed to quantify potential predation by birds on the lizard Podarcis hispanica atrata in the Columbretes islands (Castellon, Spain). We used plasticine replicas to examine predation ...
-
(2013)The evolution and functions of avian and mammalian antipredator calls are well understood, which contrasts with a lack of progress in reptiles. Here, we present the first investigation of the functions of a distress call ...
-
(Sociedad de Biologia de Chile, 2002)Experimental tests were conducted with the lizard Liolaemus tenuis (Tropiduridae), to determine the potential sources of pheromones used in its chemical communication, centered in the phenomenon of self-recognition. During ...
-
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2017)The behavior of lizards can be highly influenced by chemical senses. The most studied pheromonal sources in lizards has been the femoral and precloacal gland secretions, although studies have been focused on male secretions, ...
-
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2013)Codons expanded by a silent position (quadruplet or tetracodons) may solve the conundrum that at life's origins, the weak tricodon-anticodon interactions could not promote translation in the absence of complex ribosomes. ...
-
(2016)It is described for the first time the eye-bulging display in two liolaemid lizards, Liolaemus chiliensis and L. gravenhorstii. This display occurs in very low frequency and it was observed in captivity. It is discussed ...
-
(2007)Ecological and phylogenetic factors determine which sensory modalities organisms use in their day-to-day activities. Among lizards, empirical studies indicate a tight association between foraging strategies and the ability ...
