Santiago, Chile. Sección Zoología, Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, Casilla 787, Santiago, Chile. RESUMEN Hemos realizado un estudio autecológico en una población de Pristidactylus cf. valeriae de la zona central de Chile. Consideramos período de actividad, selección de microhábitat, hábitos alimentarios. A estas variables les calculamos la diversidad del uso del recurso con el índice de Levins. Además registramos altura de percha, distancia crítica de huida y temperaturas corporales, asociadas a temperaturas abióticas del aire y del sustrato. Agrega­ mos un estudio morfológico analizado por la distancia euclidiana a la que aplicamos tratamientos de UPGMA para realizar un dendrograma que revelara las afinidades morfo­ lógicas entre la especie en estudio y aquellas que han sido descritas previamente. Además de los análisis anteriores, realizamos cariotipos de esta especie con técnicas estándar (Giemsa corriente) y Bandeo C. Los resultados revelan a esta especie como de hábitos saxícolas, con actividad diaria monomodal entre las 12 y las 18 horas, y hábitos alimentarios con tendencia a ingerir coléopteros, aunque esta preferencia se discute. La temperatura corporal de ella no se muestra diferente de la señalada en la literatura para otras especies del género y desde el punto de vista conductual de la selección de altura de percha, no aparecen diferencias significativas entre las hembras, los juveniles y los machos aunque se sugiere que estos últimos tendrían tendencia a estar en perchas más altas, exhibiendo conductas territoriales que se manifiestan vigorosamente.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Homonota comprises nine South American species of terrestrial and nocturnal lizards. Homonota lizards lack the femoral pores typical of other South American Phyllodactylidae, and their infradigital lamellas are not expanded. We here describe a new species, Homonota taragui sp. nov., exclusively found on a small group of three hills up to 179 meters above sea level in central eastern Corrientes Province, Argentina. The new species differs from other Homonota species by a combination of characters, including: a well-marked dorsal, reticulate, dark pattern contrasting with a lighter colored background; small, star-shaped chromatophores on the abdomen; the post-orbital region of the head covered by granular scales; the dorsal and anterior regions of the thighs covered by keeled scales interspersed with cycloid scales; and the internasal scale in contact with rostral scales.

  • The Ecology of Lizard Reproductive Output
    Global Ecology and Biogeography, (Global Ecol. Biogeogr.) (2011) ••, ••–•• RESEARCH The ecology of lizard reproductive PAPER outputgeb_700 1..11 Shai Meiri1*, James H. Brown2 and Richard M. Sibly3 1Department of Zoology, Tel Aviv University, ABSTRACT 69978 Tel Aviv, Israel, 2Department of Biology, Aim We provide a new quantitative analysis of lizard reproductive ecology. Com- University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131, USA and Santa Fe Institute, 1399 Hyde parative studies of lizard reproduction to date have usually considered life-history Park Road, Santa Fe, NM 87501, USA, 3School components separately. Instead, we examine the rate of production (productivity of Biological Sciences, University of Reading, hereafter) calculated as the total mass of offspring produced in a year. We test ReadingRG6 6AS, UK whether productivity is influenced by proxies of adult mortality rates such as insularity and fossorial habits, by measures of temperature such as environmental and body temperatures, mode of reproduction and activity times, and by environ- mental productivity and diet. We further examine whether low productivity is linked to high extinction risk. Location World-wide. Methods We assembled a database containing 551 lizard species, their phyloge- netic relationships and multiple life history and ecological variables from the lit- erature. We use phylogenetically informed statistical models to estimate the factors related to lizard productivity. Results Some, but not all, predictions of metabolic and life-history theories are supported. When analysed separately, clutch size, relative clutch mass and brood frequency are poorly correlated with body mass, but their product – productivity – is well correlated with mass. The allometry of productivity scales similarly to metabolic rate, suggesting that a constant fraction of assimilated energy is allocated to production irrespective of body size.
