• Body sizes and diversification rates of lizards, snakes, amphisbaenians and the tuatara (2016, background): “…in shape of species of different phylogenetic affinities, and, in lizards, varying degrees of leg development (Meiri, 2010; Pincheira-Donoso et al., 2011; Feldman & Meiri, 2013; Meiri et al., 2013; Novosolov et al., 2013; Scharf et al., 2015; and new equations developed here: Appendix S2b).”
• Biases in the current knowledge of threat status in lizards, and bridging the ‘assessment gap’ (2016, unknown): “• Life history: Body size is the maximum weight of a species as derived from maximum snout-vent length (SVL) by means of clade-specific allometric equations (Meiri, 2010; Novosolov et al., 2013; Scharf et al., 2015; Feldman et al., 2016).”
• Are lizards feeling the heat? A tale of ecology and evolution under two temperatures (2013, background): “Furthermore, islands usually harbour much denser populations of lizards than do mainland areas (Buckley et al., 2008; Novosolov et al., 2013); although the effects of this on lizard body temperatures remain unclear.”
• Is the island rule general? Turtles disagree (2014, background): “Lower predation, reduced interspecific competition and more stable climates on many islands may allow for increased densities of turtles within populations (MacArthur et al., 1972; Novosolov et al., 2013) and thus drive stronger intraspecific competition (Melton, 1982).”
• Late bloomers and baby boomers: ecological drivers of longevity in squamates and the tuatara (2015, methodology): “Thus, we used equations developed by Pincheira-Donoso et al. (2011) for Liolaemus and Phymaturus, Novosolov et al. (2013) for Gekkonidae sensu stricto, Sphaerodactylidae, Eublepharidae and Anolis, and Meiri et al. (2013) for limbed Anguidae.”
• A roadmap for island biology: 50 fundamental questions after 50 years of The Theory of Island Biogeography (2017, background): “…to which they reflect in situ evolutionary change versus non-random colonization/persistence (e.g. Valido et al., 2004; Lomolino et al., 2013); and (3) the mechanistic explanations for such distinctive evolutionary pathways (e.g. Burns et al., 2012; Novosolov et al., 2013; Itescu et al., 2014).”
