Abstract Bite force is a key performance trait in lizards because biting involved many ecologically relevant tasks, including foraging, fighting and mating. Several factors have been suggested to impact bite lizards, such as head morphology (proximate factors), or diet, intraspecific competition habitat characteristics (ultimate factors). However, these generally investigated separately mostly at the interspecific level. Here we tested which drive variation population level what extent. Our...
Banded murex, Hexaplex trunculus, is a marine gastropod whose reproductive fitness can be severely affected by very low concentrations of antifouling compound tributyltin (TBT). TBT has strong xenoandrogen impacts on snails, causing the development imposex (e.g., superimposition male sexual characteristic in females), thereby affecting entire populations. also known as DNA-demethylating agent and an obesogenic factor. The aim this study was to unravel interactions between bioaccumulation,...
Understanding how phenotypic divergence arises among natural populations remains one of the major goals in evolutionary biology. As part competitive exclusion experiment conducted 1971, 10 individuals Italian wall lizard (Podarcis siculus (Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1810)) were transplanted from Pod Kopište Island to nearby island Mrčaru (Adriatic Sea). Merely 35 years after introduction, newly established population on had shifted their diet predominantly insectivorous towards omnivorous and...
