The occupation of contrasting environments by organisms occurs along the emergence of phenotypic traits that allow animals to explore local conditions. Thus, observing the patterns of phenotypic variation among populations and at higher hierarchical levels allow us to understand how often phenotypes are repeated in different lineages and how such phenotypic plasticity of a given lineage a…
In this project we seek to investigate the relationship between thermoregulation behavior and androgen hormone levels in adult males of the mountain lizard Tropidurus montanus. These lizards depend on the environment to regulate their body temperature and primarily use thermoregulatory behaviors to maintain thermal homeostasis. For this, males search for suitable places for thermoregulati…
This project aims to study how maternal effects can manipulate the phenotype of hatchlings from Tropidurinae lizards. The goal is to understand in which way the use of different mechanisms that can change the phenotype of hatchlings relates to the occupation of forested areas, in comparison to open areas. The hypothesis is that females from species occupying forested areas show major vari…
In this work we will study the thermic and osmotic tolerance in tadpoles of the Thoropa complex (Anura: Cycloramphydae) which live in areas near the Atlantic Coast in the Juréia Ecological Station (São Paulo State), where presumably face a thermal and osmotic stress in such habitat. Both temperature and osmotic concentration can change muscle activity in animals and, therefore, directly i…
Females in all species use their phenotypes and environmental cues to influence offspring phenotype. These maternal effects can have adaptive advantages, increasing the fitness of both the mother and her offspring. One aspect of maternal effects is selection of nest sites. In oviparous species that lack parental care, nest sites have a major impact in hatching survival. Severe environment…
