The Ontogeny of Escape Responses and Locomotor Performance in Sceloporus Woodi
… body size. I examined this hypothesis in Sceloporus woodi, a small terrestrial lizard. Field measurements of escape velocity were recorded on an ontogenetic series of lizards using high speed video. Maximal running velocity was also quantified on a laboratory raceway to examine if the …

Genotypic and Phenotypic Variation of the Florida Scrub Lizard (Sceloporus Woodi)
… chapter I examine the genotypic variation of S. woodi in the Ocala National Forest. The loss of natural habitat due to fragmentation is a major threat to the conservation of species. The Florida scrub lizard (Sceloporus woodi) is restricted to open, sunny, scrub habitat, historically maintained …

Sources And Consequences of Ecological Intraspecific Variation In The Florida Scrub Lizard (Sceloporus Woodi)
Sceloporus woodi is a small, sexually dimorphic Iguanid lizard endemic to dry xeric habitats in Florida. This species is most often found in sand-pine scrub habitats, but also inhabits relic long-leaf pine "islands" within the scrub of the Ocala National Forest in north central Florida. In the …

Variation In Population Densities of the Florida Scrub Lizard (sceloporus Woodi) between Managed Sand Pine Scrub And Longleaf Pine Stands in the Ocala National Forest
… of the rare, endemic Florida scrub lizard (<em>Sceloporus woodi</em>) were sampled across the Ocala National Forest (ONF) to compare abundance and density across two management types. In the ONF, sand-pine scrub is clearcut and rollerchopped whereas longleaf pine is managed via prescribed …

Predator Behavior and Prey Demography in Patchy Habitats
… snake abundance on the survival rate of Sceloporus woodi (Florida Scrub Lizard) populations. Masticophis flagellum positively selected lizard and mammal prey, but within these categories it consumed prey species in proportion to their availability. Masticophis flagellum was vagile and …

Tactical Escape Behavior and Performance of a Small Sceloporine Lizard in Two High Risk Habitats
… evading predators. The Florida scrub lizard (<em>Sceloporus woodi</em>) is a small, rare species endemic to two distinct and structurally complex environments in Florida, i.e. sand-pine scrub and longleaf pine-wiregrass sand-hills. The differing microhabitats of scrub and longleaf pine factor into …
