dc.description.abstract1 | Caudal autotomy is a striking adaptation used by many lizard species to evade predators.
Most studies to date indicate that caudal autotomy impairs lizard locomotor performance. Surpris-
ingly, some species bearing the longest tails show negligible impacts of caudal autotomy on sprint
speed. Part of this variation has been attributed to lineage effects. For the first time, we model the
effects of caudal autotomy on the locomotor performance of a gymnophthalmid lizard, Micrablepharus
atticolus, which has a long and bright blue tail. To improve model accuracy, we incorporated the
effects of several covariates. We found that body temperature, pregnancy, mass, collection site, and
the length of the regenerated portion of the tail were the most important predictors of locomotor per-
formance. However, sprint speed was unaffected by tail loss. Apparently, the long tail of M. atticolus
is more useful when using undulation amidst the leaf litter and not when using quadrupedal lo-
comotion on a flat surface. Our findings highlight the intricate relationships among physiological,
morphological, and behavioral traits. We suggest that future studies about the impacts of caudal
autotomy among long-tailed lizards should consider the role of different microhabitats/substrates on
locomotor performance, using laboratory conditions that closely mimic their natural environments. | pt_BR |
