Thermoregulation in ectotherms may be modulated by climatic variability across geographic
gradients. Environmental temperature varies along latitudinal clines resulting in …

We studied the efficiency of thermoregulation in four high elevation Liolaemus species in the
Andes of Salta, Argentina; Liolaemus irregularis, Liolaemus multicolor, Liolaemus albiceps …

The thermal quality of the habitat is key for the regulation of body temperature in terrestrial
ectotherms and, therefore, permits them to carry out their fundamental biological activities. In …

Populations at the warm range margins of the species distribution may be at the greatest
risks of extinction from global warming unless they can tolerate extreme environmental …

Small lizards can accommodate to constraints imposed by temporal changes in ambient
temperature through a combination of adaptive evolution and behavioral and physiological …

This study aims to analyze the thermal biology and climatic vulnerability of two closely
related lizard species (Stenocercus festae and S. guentheri) inhabiting the Ecuadorian …

Two competing hypotheses have been suggested to explain thermal sensitivity of lizards to
environmental conditions. These are the static and the labile hypotheses. The static …

Simple Summary As ectotherms that do not produce metabolic heat to regulate their body
temperature, lizards largely rely on the thermal quality of the environment for most aspects of …

It is well known that lizard species from thermally diverse areas differ in their use of
thermoregulatory behaviors as a means of making short-term adjustments to differences in …

The critical thermal limits of organisms and the thermal sensitivity of their performance tend
to vary predictably across latitudinal gradients. There has been comparatively less …
