Demography Meets Climate Change: Life History Challenges for a Neotropical Viviparous Lizard.

ABSTRACT: Considering the current biodiversity crisis, it is crucial to understand the impact of global environmental changes on natural populations. Analyzing demographic parameters from long-term studies is the most effective approach to uncovering patterns that describe population dynamics. These patterns can then be linked to the environmental factors driving these dynamics, providing an accurate understanding of how environmental changes affect natural populations. This study aims to build a demographic distribution model of Notomabuya frenata, a Neotropical viviparous lizard, to investigate its potential responses to environmental changes. Using mark-recapture data collected over more than 15 years, we built Integral Projection Models (IPMs) to project population trajectories across tim
