To test whether human-induced habitat modifications impact the morphology of animals with low dispersal ability we measure 15 morphological traits on 137 common toads (Bufo bufo) across four habitat types represented by two or three independent sites across the Ile de France region. The results ...

The Oriental Bay Owl is a small barn owl. It is found in Southeast Asia and parts of India. They are generally seen in woodlands, plantations and mangrove swamps. They feed on small rodents, snakes, frogs, lizards, bats, and insects. They also make a variety of calls apart from hoots,...

(two for diploid species) is calledpolyploid. For instance, fertilization of an abnormal diploid egg with a normal haploid sperm would yield a triploid zygote. Polyploid animals are extremely rare, with only a few examples among the flatworms, crustaceans, amphibians, fish, and lizards. Polyploid...

The common ground in all of these environments is the desire to go underground and stay in shelter. It will use burrows or trees, typically, to achieve this. Diet As a small snake, it seeks out small prey. Small rodents, lizards, frogs, and similar prey are all common targets. A ...
I investigated longitudinal measures of haemogregarine load in the host lizard Lacerta vivipara over 2 yr (1992-1993). Lizards with heavy parasite infections in 1992 were still suffering from heavy parasite infections in 1993. Such data show that lizards have limited ability to recover from high ...
(tuataras, lizards and snakes), non-anuran Amphibia (salamanders and caecilians), Chelonians (turtles) and lungfishes (Dipnoi) that are key to mapping vocal communication in the vertebrate tree of life. Using this dataset combined with data of well-known acoustic clades (e.g. mammals, birds...
