Correlates of extinction risk in squamate reptiles: the relative importance of biology, geography, threat and range size (2016, unknown): “…Annual average temperature - Reptiles are solar ectotherms, with slower life histories (hence reproduction) in areas of lower temperatures (Scharf et al., 2015) Elevation Minimum elevation (in m) + High minimum elevations suggest smaller, more restricted ranges (Davies et al.,…”
Biases in the current knowledge of threat status in lizards, and bridging the ‘assessment gap’ (2016, unknown): “We collected data on lizard traits from the literature, and in a few cases, in the field (see Meiri, 2008; Meiri et al., 2012, 2013, 2014; Scharf et al., 2015 for details).”
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).”
