TL;DR
On confirme l'hypothese selon laquelle la variation de l'intensite de la predation and the competition pour l'alimentation sont responsables of l'importance de l'savantage quant a la survie des jeunes de grandes dimensions.

This review organizes ideas on the evolution of life histories into more comprehensive theory that makes more readily falsifiable predictions, and examination of different definitions of fitness.

Male aggression, activity and home range size increased and overlap between home ranges decreased as the fall breeding season approached and females were less aggressive, occupied smaller areas and shifted positions less.
EcologyNatural Selection on Behavioral Phenotypes of the Lizard Uta Stansburiana
98 Citations1978Stanley F. Fox
The behavioral variation in the population, if directly heritable, may be maintained by opposing, fluctuating selection pressures; or, if a consequence of microhabitat differences, by the limiting amount of superior habitat used somewhat exclusively by surviving lizards.
OecologiaSeasonal shifts in clutch size and egg size in the side-blotched lizard, Uta stansburiana Baird and Girard
93 Citations1981Ronald A. Nussbaum
The alternative explanation (bet-hedging model) proposed in this paper is based on the view that the amount of food available to females for the production of late-season clutches is unpredictable, and that selection has favored conservatively small clutches in the late season to insure that each egg is at least minimally provisioned.
EcologyDominance and the Acquisition of Superior Home Ranges in the Lizard Uta Stansburiana

A survivorship—based multivariate index of home range quality showed that dominants originated from home ranges of higher overall quality than those subordinates.

63 Citations1980Gary W. Ferguson, Todd Brockman
Hatchlings of S. undulatus that were raised under identical social, thermal-gradient and feeding environments grew at significantly distinct, population-specific rates, but growth rates expressed in the laboratory closely approximated those measured in the field for some populations, but were higher in the lab for others.
OecologiaSpatial relationships among members of a population of wall lizards
51 Citations1973D. A. Boag
The number of resident lizards increased over the 5-year period of study from 10 to 21 individuals, and over the same period the average snout-to-vent length of this population decreased, probably reflecting a younger age structure.

A time-budget analysis assessed the nature and frequency of intraspecific and interspecific interactions in natural, undisturbed anole populations and established field foraging sites in terms of perch height and diameter components of the structural habitat.
