Elevated human impact on islands increases the introduction and extinction status of native insular reptiles

W. A. M. Jesse, J. Ellers, J. E. Behm, G. C. Costa, S. B. Hedges, M. R. Helmus

The paper examines how human impact on islands affects the introduction and extinction status of native reptiles, finding that introduced and extinction-prone species occupy opposite ends of trait continua.

The trade-off between color and size in lizards' conspicuous tails

R. d. S. Guidi, V. d. A. Sao-Pedro, H. Ramos-Silva, G. C. Costa, D. M. A. Pessoa

This study tests if there is a trade-off between tail color and size in lizards, finding that larger red-tailed lizards are more likely to be attacked by birds, while color and size interactions influence predation rates.
