Behavior of Lizards:Evolutionary and Mechanistic Perspectives

图书简介

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.

Introduction. Overview of behavior and evolution. Behavioral flexibility and personality. Evolutionary radiation of lizards and behavior. Comparative physiology of behavior, evolution, adaptation, flexibility. Genetics and behavior. ? Everyday? behavior: function and evolution. Predatory strategies: diversity and ecology. Foraging strategies. Prey capture, flexibility, adaptive response, motor control, evolution, effect of proximal prey factors, inter-individual difference and selection. Biting behavior, How and Why? Feeding: how to deal with available food, energetics, and environmental factors. Parasites and behavior: our knowledge and perspectives. Antipredator behavior: review and perspectives. Escape behavior. Evolution, motivation, adaptation, genetics, epigenetics, and flexibility. Locomotor performances, dispersion, and spatially-structured populations. Locomotor behavior: proximate environmental factors, arborealism, adaptation, motor control, evolution, and integration with foraging/feeding. Thermoregulatory behavior: from structures to behavior. Social behavior and communication. Physiological control of social/aggressive/sexual behaviors, genetics, epigenetics, evolution, and ontogeny. Social behavior and phylogeny: new insights and development. Aggressive behavior: mechanisms. Social behaviors and communication: empirical examples, chemosensory discrimination (how and why?), adaptation, learning, vocalization, and individual variability. Sexual and agonistic signals: species identity, biomechanical implications, ornemantation, evolution, and adaptation. Integrative study of signal behavior in lizards. Social behavior and global change: the example of iguana in Caribbean Islands. Impact of human habitat on populations and their behavior: examples in anoles and other species.
