We summarize thermal-biology data of 69 species of Amazonian lizards, including mode of
thermoregulation and field-active body temperatures (Tb). We also provide new data on …

Thermophysiological traits, particularly thermal tolerances and sensitivity, are key to
understanding how organisms are affected by environmental conditions. In the face of …

Temperature has a substantial effect on both the physiology and behavior of ectothermic
animals such as lizards. Physiology and behavior can also be influenced by ontogenetic …

The predominant view is that the thermal physiology of tropical ectotherms, including lizards,
is not labile over ecological timescales. We used the recent introduction (∼ 35 years ago) of …

Adaptations of lizards inhabiting hot arid environments should include mechanisms of
behavioural thermoregulation. In contrast, in environments with lower temperatures lizards …

Rising global temperatures are predicted to impact organisms in diverse ways. For
ectotherms, recent broad‐scale analyses have predicted global patterns of vulnerability to …

Alterations in thermal niches have been widely associated with the Anthropocene erosion of
reptiles' diversity. They entail potential physiological constraints for organisms' performance …

Ectothermic body temperatures affect organismal performances and presumably fitness, and
are strongly influenced by the thermal environment. Therefore, the processes of colonization …

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 …

Desert squamates need to regulate their body temperature within a specific range in
response to extreme temperatures. Variation of thermal resources through altitudinal and …
