“…Unfortunately, there are few studies on lizards where effects of pollutants on developmental stability have been evaluated. High FA was found in populations of Sceloporus occidentalis inhabiting areas with high use of motor vehicles [44], but FA in femoral pores was found to be unaffected by a mixture of pesticides in Podarcis bocagei inhabiting agroenvironments [45].…”

“…In lizards, high levels of FA have been associated with small island size and inbreeding [37], [38], habitat fragmentation [39], suboptimal incubation temperatures [40]–[43] and pollution ([44], but see [45]). Also, a correlation between FA and performance components potentially influencing fitness has been shown in Psammodromus algirus [46] and in Iberolacerta cyreni [47], where hindlimb asymmetry reduces running speeds.…”

“…In ecotoxicology, toxic agents can show effects on individuals, but to generalize these effects and draw conclusions, it is necessary to do a population study (Amaral et al, 2012). Therefore, in this report we described two studies that we performed to evaluate the differences between a population study and an individual study.…”

“…Farmers use combinations of different products that have varied over the years because of EU bans and/ or to avoid plant resistance. A more detailed description of the collection sites, including soil-pesticide profiles, is available in the work of Amaral et al (2012).…”
