Female lizards choose warm, moist nests that improve embryonic survivorship and offspring fitness
Shu-Ran Li,Shu-Ran Li,Xin Hao,Yang Wang,Bao-Jun Sun,Jun-Huai Bi,Yong-Pu Zhang,Fredric J. Janzen,Wei-Guo Du +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that female toad-headed agama chose warm and moist nest sites that improved the developmental rate and survivorship of embryos and promoted the post-hatching growth, sexual maturity, reproduction, and fitness of offspring, thereby improving their reproductive success.

Phenology and the physiological niche are co‐adapted in a desert‐dwelling lizard
Bao-Jun Sun,Bao-Jun Sun,Liang Ma,Shu-Ran Li,Caroline M. Williams,Yang Wang,Xin Hao,Wei-Guo Du,Wei-Guo Du +8 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that physiology could become co-adapted with phenology; such that embryos perform better in the environmental conditions they are adapted to compared to embryos adapted to other environes.

The vulnerability of developing embryos to simulated climate warming differs between sympatric desert lizards.
TL;DR: Simulation of nest temperatures of two sympatric lizards with divergent microhabitat preferences, under climate warming senarios, demonstrates that simulated climate warming reduced hatching success and hatchling size and growth in E. argus, and suggests lizards that prefer closedmicrohabitats may be more vulnerable to climate warming than those that prefer open microhabits.
Why do female desert lizards construct burrows to lay eggs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the structure of nests and its effect on nest environments and reproductive success in the toad-headed agama (Phrynocephalus przewalskii).

Telomere length, oxidative stress and their links with growth and survival in a lizard facing climate warming.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the effect of climate warming on early-life growth and physiology of a racerunner (Eremias multiocellata) and found that exposure to climate warming enhanced growth rates, induced oxidative stress, and shortened telomere length of juvenile lizards.
