What works on the short run is not necessary the optimum.
Do you consider 8 clutches a year for 15-17 consecutive years short run?
Theirs no such thing as optimum, the best I can do is good, I think the above is good.
What works for generations should not be completely wrong.
No its not completely wrong, but it is partly wrong, reptiles are a product of constant adaptation, they have no choice if there habitat forces them to change. When the primary forests are logged and the secondary forest are reduced to small patches, not only will they adapt but they will be forced to use other tools to survive. As uromastyx and many other lizards have done, so what works for generation may be changing.
