Key features: Presents a contemporary snapshot of the mechanisms
underlying the evolution and adaptation of behavior Explores how
genetics, epigenetics, development, and environment shape behavior
Discusses a broad range of behavioral repertoires and responses,
including those related to thermoregulatory, foraging, predatory,
displaying, social and escape strategies. Examines physiological
and sensory mechanisms Covers the effects of various aspects of
global change on behavior, with chapters that focus on the impacts
of climate change on hydroregulatory behavior and behavioral
responses to the effects of habitat alteration resulting from
human-mediated change and colonization by invasive species. Lizards
serve as focal organisms for many of biological questions related
to evolution, ecology, physiology, and morphology. They are studied
at multiple spatial and temporal scales, from the individual to the
community level. This book, authored by expert contributors from
around the world, explores behaviors underlying the evolution and
adaptation of these organisms. It covers conceptual, empirical, and
methodological approaches to the understanding of the role that
natural and sexual selection play in molding the behavioral traits
of lizards. This thorough, illustrated reference should stimulate
discussion of the conceptual and methodological approaches for
studying the behavioral traits of these fascinating and highly
diverse vertebrates.
