Body size is a fundamentaltrait determininga suite of morphological, physiological andecologicalcharacteristicsoforganisms.The thesisdealswith topicscloselyrelated to proximate mechanisms of body size change in lizards and with ecophysiological correlates of body size such as metabolic rate and influence of environmental temperature.The Ph.D. thesis contains a brief introductorychapterand four chapters representedby threepublished or acceptedpapersand one submittedmanuscript.All papers included in the thesis have in common that they take into the account phylogeneticrelationshipsamong studiedspeciesand usedifferent methodsto control the effect of phylogeny. The first chaptershows thatevenwithin closely relatedgroup of lizards from the famil...
