- Relations between microhabitat use and limb shape in phrynosomatid lizards (2002, methodology): “…and habitat use in lizards ( Liolaemus sp., Jaksic et al ., 1980; Anolis sp., Losos, 1990a,b, 1992; sceloporines, Miles, 1994; Lacertidae, Vanhooydonck & Van Damme, 1999; Niveoscincus sp. Melville & Swain, 2000; Tropidurus sp., Kohlsdorf, Garland & Navas, 2001; Gekkonidae, Zaaf & Van Damme, 2001).”
- A monographic catalogue on the systematics and phylogeny of the South American iguanian lizard family Liolaemidae (Squamata, Iguania) (2008, result): “…that microhabitat structure does not predict patterns of body shape across these species, in contrast to many previous studies in different squamate reptiles (e.g. Losos, 1990a, 1990b; Melville & Swain, 2000; Kohlsdorf et al., 2001; Herrel et al., 2002; Losos et al., 2006; see also Losos 1994).”
- Differences in morphology, performance and behaviour between recently diverged populations of Podarcis sicula mirror differences in predation pressure (2007, background): “…in lizards (Warner and Andrews 2002, Miles 2004, Husak et al. 2006, but see Bennett and Huey 1990), and relative hind limb length is by far the best documented morphological correlate of sprint capacity (Sinervo and Losos 1991, Miles et al. 1995, Melville and Swain 2000, but see Garland 1984).”
- Patterns of morphological variation and correlates of habitat use in Chameleons (2002, background): “A number of other studies have indicated that a similar relationship exists among limb elements in a variety of lizards (Losos, 1990; Miles, 1994; Melville & Swain, 2000; and, to a lesser extent, Vanhooydonck & Van Damme, 1999).”
