... effects differ among sympatric species, and often utilize unrealistic temperature treatments. We used thermal fluctuations from nests within the urban-heat island to determine how thermal tolerance of embryos changes across development and differs among two sympatric lizard species ( Anolis sagrei...

...Joshua M. Hall; Daniel A. Warner ABSTRACT Effects of global change (i.e. urbanization, climate change) on adult organisms are readily used to predict the persistence of populations. However, effects on embryo survival and patterns of development are less studied, even though embryos...

...Virginie Demeyrier; Anne Charmantier; Marcel M. Lambrechts; Arnaud Grégoire ABSTRACT Worldwide urban expansion induces degradation of the natural environment, resulting in new constraints in terms of breeding sites, anthropogenic disturbances as well as food resources. The alteration of resource...
