A Tale of Tail Loss: Fine-Scale Landscape Composition Predicts Caudal Autotomy Along an Urban Gradient in Two Congeneric Lizards

The frequency of caudal autotomy in Podarcis lizards varies along the urbanization gradient and is primarily associated with fine-scale habitat structure. These findings underscore the strong role of landscape composition in shaping multiple animal traits and support the use of morphological indicators to assess the ecological effects of human-driven landscape change.
