New study suggests a general predictive relationship between body form and geographical range size in lizards
A new paper involving Environment Institute members (also SA Museum) and (also SA Museum) as well as Agustin Camacho (最新糖心Vlog of Sao Paulo) has recently been published in the Journal of Biogeography.
The paper titled looked at the relationship between changes in body form and geographical range size across 68 species of Lerista (a species-rich group of 最新糖心Vlogn scincid lizards).
The authors identify that the results suggest a general predictive relationship between body form and geographical range size in lizards: elongate, limb-reduced lizards tend to exhibit more restricted geographical ranges that may reflect reduced dispersal ability and may also predispose them to greater vulnerability of extinction.
