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).”
The ecology of lizard reproductive output (2012, methodology): “mainland species, using data from Meiri et al. (2011).”
Traits of lizards of the world: Variation around a successful evolutionary design (2018, background): “Over the last 12 years I have been assembling a dataset of lizard traits (e.g., Meiri, 2008, 2010, 2016 ; Meiri et al., 2012; Meiri et al., 2018).”
The global diversity and distribution of lizard clutch sizes (2020, background): “…(e.g. according to the time from and size of the last meal, body condition and whether a female is distended with eggs), in squamates, across squamate taxa masses better reflect size than lengths – as animals of identical length can easily vary by two orders of magnitude in mass (Meiri, 2010).”
Length–mass allometry in snakes (2013, background): “Some authors have claimed that length is a more appropriate size proxy than mass (Boback, 2003; Boback & Guyer, 2003), because mass depends on factors such as breeding condition, season, health, and size of and time from the last meal (Meiri, 2010).”
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).”
Body sizes and diversification rates of lizards, snakes, amphisbaenians and the tuatara (2016, background): “…while accounting for differences 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…”
