- To cut a long tail short: a review of lizard caudal autotomy studies carried out over the last 20 years (2009, background): “Daniels et al. (1986) very clearly demonstrated that juvenile Christinus marmoratus are more susceptible to a small mammalian predator (74% capture rate) compared with adults (24% capture rate), and while 62% of adults used autotomy to escape from this predator, only 7% of juveniles did so.
