Comparison of the effectiveness of phalanges vs. humeri and femurs to estimate lizard age with skeletochronology

Skeletochronology allows estimation of lizard age with a single capture (from a bone), making long-term monitoring unnecessary. Nevertheless, this method often involves the death of the animal to obtain the bone. We tested the reliability of skeletochronology of phalanges (which may be obtained with...
