Feeding and reproduction ecology of the lizard Tropidurus torquatus (Squamata: Tropiduridae) in a rock outcrop area in southeastern Brazil

This work evaluates the diet and the reproductive cycle of Tropidurus torquatus in relation to seasonality in a rock outcrop formations in a remaining area of Atlantic Rainforest. The data indicate that the lizards feed mainly on arthropods and plant material. The female reproductive activity varies...
