How do body size and habitat fragmentation influence extinction in lizards? A long-term case study on artificial islands in the Brazilian Cerrado

This study examines how body size and habitat fragmentation affect lizard extinction in artificial islands created by reservoir flooding in the Brazilian Cerrado, finding that larger lizards are more vulnerable to extinction.

Thermophysiology or resource availability: What shapes the post-flooding abundance of lizard species across artificial islands in a Neotropical biome?

This study examines how thermophysiological traits and resource availability affect lizard abundance after flooding in artificial islands, finding that higher body temperature reduces abundance while resource availability has no significant impact.
