However, studies on frequencies of dermal lesions and their anatomical and environmental correlates in lacertid lizards are rare. Here, we use <jats:italic>Podarcis muralis<\/jats:italic> to analyse the relations between occurrence of ectodermal lesions and three possible indicators of environmental stress (body condition index\u00a0\u2013 BCI, infestation by ticks and tail condition) by evaluating differences among local populations at uni- and multivariate level. Our results showed that BCI, together with body size and sexual size dimorphism, varied between populations but had no direct influence on the presence of lesions. Males had higher frequencies of lesions and ticks but lower frequencies of broken tails than females. All three parameters varied between sites likely due to differences in predation\/parasite exposures and agonistic interactions with conspecifics between sexes and populations. Results of multivariate analyses suggested that the occurrence of lesions is decoupled from the other morphological stress indicators. Detected associations indicated that relations between presence of lesions and other analysed variables are rather complex. Directions for further research on ectodermal lesions in lacertid lizards are provided.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1163\/15685381-00002835","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,29]],"date-time":"2012-11-29T09:12:07Z","timestamp":1354180327000},"page":"327-336","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Incidence patterns of ectodermic lesions in wild populations of Common Wall Lizard (Podarcis muralis)"],"prefix":"10.1163","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Marko M.","family":"Lazi\u0107","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, University of Ni\u0161, Vi\u0161egradska 33, 18000 Ni\u0161, Serbia"}]},{"given":"Miguel A.","family":"Carretero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2CIBIO, Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Biodiversidade e Recursos Gen\u00e9ticos, Universidade do Porto, Campus Agr\u00e1rio de Vair\u00e3o, PT-4485-661 Vair\u00e3o, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Tatjana","family":"Mihailov-Krstev","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, University of Ni\u0161, Vi\u0161egradska 33, 18000 Ni\u0161, Serbia"}]},{"given":"Mirjana","family":"Lazarevi\u0107-Macanovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3Department of Radiology and Radiation Hygiene, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Belgrade, Bulevar Oslobo\u0111enja 18, 11000 Beograd, Serbia"}]},{"given":"Nikola","family":"Krsti\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3Department of Radiology and Radiation Hygiene, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Belgrade, Bulevar Oslobo\u0111enja 18, 11000 Beograd, Serbia"}]},{"given":"Jelka","family":"Crnobrnja-Isailovi\u0107","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Sciences and Mathematics, University of Ni\u0161, Vi\u0161egradska 33, 18000 Ni\u0161, Serbia"},{"name":"4Department of Evolutionary Biology, Institute for Biological Research \u201cSini\u0161a Stankovi\u0107\u201d, University of Belgrade, Bulevar Despota Stefana 142, 11000 Beograd, Serbia"}]}],"member":"374","container-title":["Amphibia-Reptilia"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/brill.com\/view\/journals\/amre\/33\/3-4\/article-p327_2.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/brill.com\/downloadpdf\/journals\/amre\/33\/3-4\/article-p327_2.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,14]],"date-time":"2021-09-14T03:45:42Z","timestamp":1631591142000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/brill.com\/view\/journals\/amre\/33\/3-4\/article-p327_2.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3-4"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1163\/15685381-00002835","relation":{},"ISSN":["0173-5373","1568-5381"],"issn-type":[{"type":"print","value":"0173-5373"},{"type":"electronic","value":"1568-5381"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012]]}}}
