Lateralization in the escape behaviour of the common wall lizard (Podarcis muralis).
Lateralization in ectotherms is now as well studied as in endotherms. Bias in eye use seems widespread, particularly in several ectotherms, most of them having lateral eyes. Several studies evidenced that the right eye/left hemisphere is involved in predatory behaviour and food searching while the left eye/right hemisphere seems to control predator monitoring, making lateralized individuals abl...

متن کاملDermal photoreceptors regulate basking behavior in the lizard Podarcis muralis.
There is evidence that dermal photic responsiveness can be found in a wide range of animals. Behavioral responses to dermal stimulation by light have been observed in pigeon squabs and new-born rats, and more recently in a sea snake. Here we report that painting the dorsal surface of the lizard (Podarcis muralis) with opaque black paint impairs the animal's ability to position itself beneath a ...
متن کاملPhylogeography and Conservation Genetics of the Common Wall Lizard, Podarcis muralis, on Islands at Its Northern Range
Populations at range limits are often characterized by lower genetic diversity, increased genetic isolation and differentiation relative to populations at the core of geographical ranges. Furthermore, it is increasingly recognized that populations situated at range limits might be the result of human introductions rather than natural dispersal. It is therefore important to document the origin a...
متن کاملRapid genetic assimilation of native wall lizard populations (Podarcis muralis) through extensive hybridization with introduced lineages.
The Common Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis) has established more than 150 non-native populations in Central Europe, stemming from eight geographically distinct evolutionary lineages. While the majority of these introduced populations are found outside the native range, some of these populations also exist at the northern range margin in southwestern Germany. To (i) infer the level of hybridizatio...
