Overall, our results suggest that local resource levels predict population density and body size in these lizards, and that nesting seabirds in particular can substantially affect lizard body size. Leer más.
We found a decrease in population density and body size in the upstream subpopulation due to metal pollution. Water diversion by the dam reduced the metal pollution impact downstream. Leer más.
The new assay showed comparable efficiency to the TaqMan-based qPCR assay. This diagnostic assay can facilitate widespread surveillance of chytridiomycosis where it has been previously absent, which may reveal several reservoirs of the pathogen and can improve our understanding of this important wildlife disease.
