844. Lizard host abundances and climatic factors explain phylogenetic diversity and prevalence of blood parasites on an oceanic islandRodrigo Megía-Palma, Gemma Palomar, Javier Martínez, Bernardo Antunes, Katarzyna Dudek, Anamarija Žagar, Nina Guerra Serén, Miguel A. Carretero, Wiesław Babik, Santiago Merino, 2023, complete scientific database of research data Abstract: 1. Host abundance might favour the maintenance of a high phylogenetic diversity of some parasites via rapid transmission rates. Blood parasites of insular lizards represent a good model to test this hypothesis because these parasites can be particularly prevalent in islands and host lizards highly abundant. 2. We applied deep amplicon sequencing and analysed environmental predictors of blood parasite prevalence and phylogenetic diversity in the endemic lizard Gallotia galloti across 24 localities on Tenerife, an island in the Canary archipelago that has experienced increasing warming and drought in recent years. 3. Parasite prevalence assessed by microscopy was over 94% and a higher proportion of infected lizards was found in warmer and drier locations. A total of 33 different 18s rRNA parasite haplotype were identified and the phylogenetic analyses indicated that they belong to two genera of Adeleorina (Apicomplexa: Coccidia), with Karyolysus as the dominant genus. The most important predictor of between-locality variation in parasite phylogenetic diversity was the abundance of lizard hosts. 4. A combination of climatic and host demographic factors associated with an insular syndrome may be favouring a rapid transmission of blood parasites among lizards on Tenerife, which may favour the maintenance of a high phylogenetic diversity of parasites.

845. Time changes everything: A multispecies analyses of temporal patterns in evaporative water loss - data : version v1Anamarija Žagar, Miguel A. Carretero, Maarten De Groot, 2022, complete scientific database of research data Abstract: The dataset was analysed in the manuscript “Žagar A., Carretero, M.A., de Groot M. (accepted) Time changes everything: A multispecies analyses of temporal patterns in evaporative water loss. Oecologia” The dataset consisted out of water loss by 23 populations of lizards from 16 different species and three families which was compiled from several different studies. All studies used the same standardized protocols. During the experiment every hour for 12 hours, the body weight of the lizard was measured (in total 13 measurements per lizard). The species name (SP), the snout-vent length of the animal (SVL, in millimetres), altitude (m a.s.l.), sampling location (site name, latitude and longitude), weight (in grams), sex (M=male, F=female), code of the individual lizard (CODE), date of experiment (DATE_H) and the reference of the study were noted down (full references are available in the manuscript). Per column the instantaneous water loss values (EWLi) were recorded per hour measured. First hour was EWLi8, second hour was EWLi9, etc. The EWLi was calculated by the weight minus the weight in the next hour divided by the weight multiplied by 100 ((Wn – Wn+1 / Wn) × 100).

850. Viviparity is associated with larger female size and higher sexual size dimorphism in a reproductively bimodal lizardEvgeny S. Roitberg, Hans Recknagel, K. R. Elmer, Florentino Braña, Tania Rodríguez Díaz, Anamarija Žagar, Valentina Nikolaevna Kuranova, Lidiya Alekseevna Epova, Dirk Bauwens, Giovani Giovine, V. F. Orlova, N. A. Bulakhova, Galina Eplanova, Oscar Arribas, 2025, complete scientific database of research data Abstract: Squamate reptiles are central for studying phenotypic correlates of evolutionary transitions from oviparity to viviparity because these transitions are numerous, with many of them being recent. Several models of life-history theory predict that viviparity is associated with increased female size, and thus more female-biased sexual size dimorphism (SSD). Yet the corresponding empirical evidence is overall weak and inconsistent. The lizard Zootoca vivipara, which occupies a major part of Northern Eurasia and includes four viviparous and two non-sister oviparous lineages, represents an excellent model for testing these predictions. We analysed how sex-specific body size and SSD is associated with parity mode, using body length data for nearly 14,000 adult individuals from 97 geographically distinct populations, which cover almost the entire species’ range and represent all six lineages. Our analyses controlled for lineage identity, climatic seasonality (the strongest predictor of geographic body size variation in previous studies of this species), and several aspects of data heterogeneity. Parity mode, lineage, and seasonality are significantly associated with female size and SSD; the first two predictors accounted for 14–26% of the total variation each, while seasonality explained 5–7%. Viviparous populations exhibited a larger female size than oviparous populations, with no concomitant differences in male size. Variation of male size was overall low and poorly explained by our predictors. Albeit fully expected from theory, the strong female bias of the body size differences between oviparous and viviparous populations found in Z. vivipara is not evident from available data on three other lizard systems of closely related lineages differing in parity mode. We confront this pattern with the data on female reproductive traits in the considered systems and the frequencies of evolutionary changes of parity mode in the corresponding lizard families and speculate why the life-history correlates of live-bearing in Z. vivipara are distinct. Comparing conspecific populations, our study provides the most direct evidence for the predicted effect of parity mode on adult body size but also demonstrates that the revealed pattern may not be general. This might explain why across squamates, viviparity is only weakly associated with larger size.
