Are mountain habitats becoming more suitable for generalist than cold-adapted lizards thermoregulation?
Z Ortega, A Mencía, V Pérez-Mellado - PeerJ, 2016 - peerj.com
Mountain lizards are highly vulnerable to climate change, and the continuous warming of
their habitats could be seriously threatening their survival. We aim to compare the thermal …
