Summit Voice: Lizards that give birth to live young may be headed for a climatic cul-de-sac in the next 50 years, according to a new study by scientists with the University of Exeter and the University of Lincoln. Climate change must not be underestimated as a threat to modern patterns of biodiversity," said University of Exeter biologist Dr. Dave Hodgson. "Our work shows that lizard species which birth live young instead of laying eggs are restricted to cold climates in South America ... high in the Andes...

ScienceDaily: Climate change could see dozens of lizard species becoming extinct within the next 50 years, according to new research published today. The often one-directional evolutionary adaptation of certain lizard species' reproductive modes could see multiple extinctions as the global temperature increases. Globally it has been observed that lizards with viviparous reproduction (retention of embryos within the mother's body) are being threatened by changing weather patterns. A new study suggests that the...
