Annual climate fluctuations can influence iguana growth and degrowth Open
It has been proposed that, in some vertebrates, individuals possess the capacity to undergo a reduction in body size, which might be a response to harsh environmental conditions. However, there is a paucity of evidence regarding the realit…

Cryptic Ontogenetic Changes in the Ventral Coloration of a Color Polymorphic Wall Lizard (<i>Podarcis muralis</i>) Open
Many animals undergo irreversible ontogenetic color changes (OCCs), yet these changes are often overlooked despite their potential ethological relevance. The problem is compounded when OCCs involve wavelengths invisible to humans. Wall liz…

Embryonic and juvenile snakes (<i>Natrix maura</i>, Linnaeus 1758) compensate for high elevation hypoxia via shifts in cardiovascular physiology and metabolism Open
The colonization of novel environments requires a favorable response to conditions never, or rarely, encountered in recent evolutionary history. For example, populations colonizing upslope habitats must cope with lower atmospheric pressure…

Sex‐specific shifts in morphology and diet in a frog after 50 years of anthropogenic habitat fragmentation Open
Aim Phenotypic shifts are commonly observed when animals face insular habitat change and may reflect ongoing stresses on individuals. However, the generality and the driving processes of this ‘island rule’ remain equivocal, notably in amph…

Lizards from warm and declining populations are born with extremely short telomeres Open
Aging is the price to pay for acquiring and processing energy through cellular activity and life history productivity. Climate warming can exacerbate the inherent pace of aging, as illustrated by a faster erosion of protective telomere DNA…

From performance curves to performance surfaces: Interactive effects of temperature and oxygen availability on aerobic and anaerobic performance in the common wall lizard Open
Accurately predicting the responses of organisms to novel or changing environments requires the development of ecologically‐appropriate experimental methodology and process‐based models. For ectotherms, thermal performance curves (TPCs) ha…

Thermal–metabolic phenotypes of the lizard <i>Podarcis muralis</i> differ across elevation, but converge in high-elevation hypoxia Open
In response to a warming climate, many montane species are shifting upslope to track the emergence of preferred temperatures. Characterizing patterns of variation in metabolic, physiological and thermal traits along an elevational gradient…

Bioindicator snake shows genomic signatures of natural and anthropogenic barriers to gene flow Open
Urbanisation alters landscapes, introduces wildlife to novel stressors, and fragments habitats into remnant ‘islands’. Within these islands, isolated wildlife populations can experience genetic drift and subsequently suffer from inbreeding…
