Yale ecologists discovered that night lizards survived the asteroid impact that caused the dinosaurs' extinction, despite having small broods and limited ranges, challenging previous assumptions about survival traits during mass extinctions. Their survival may be linked to their narrow habitats and reproductive strategies, offering insights into resilience amid environmental upheavals.
A study reveals that night lizards in North and Central America survived the asteroid impact that caused the dinosaurs' extinction 66 million years ago, likely due to their slow metabolism and pre-existing adaptation to their environment, making them a remarkable example of evolutionary resilience.
A new study reveals that night lizards survived the asteroid impact that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, making them the only known land vertebrates to have persisted near the impact site and still live today, likely due to their slow metabolisms and specialized habitats.
