Body sizes and diversification rates of lizards, snakes, amphisbaenians and the tuatara (2016, background): “Even within snakes (Feldman & Meiri, 2013) and lizards (Greer & Wadsworth, 2003; Meiri, 2010) there is considerable shape variation, which makes body length a very problematic measure of size at large taxonomic scales (Appendix S2c).”
Late bloomers and baby boomers: ecological drivers of longevity in squamates and the tuatara (2015, methodology): “We converted body lengths to masses using cladespecific allometric relationships from Meiri (2010) (for lizards and amphisbaenians) and Feldman & Meiri (2013) (for snakes).”
A global analysis of traits predicting species sensitivity to habitat fragmentation (2017, methodology): “Body size for reptiles and amphibians was generally reported as snout-to-vent length, so we used published relationships to covert these values to body mass (Lagler & Applegate, 1943; Blakey & Kirkwood, 1995; Deichmann et al., 2008; Meiri, 2010; Feldman & Meiri, 2013).”
Late Quaternary reptile extinctions: size matters, insularity dominates (2016, methodology): “Snout–vent length of lizards and snakes and carapace length of turtles were converted to mass using allometric equations developed by Meiri (2010), Itescu (2012), Feldman & Meiri (2013) and Novosolov et al. (2013).”
