Research on the thermal ecology and physiology of free‐living organisms is accelerating as
scientists and managers recognize the urgency of the global biodiversity crisis brought on by …

Climate change is negatively affecting many species. The increase in mean air temperature
is often associated with shifts in distribution, changes in phenology, and local extinctions …

Squamates use the circulatory system to regulate body and head temperatures during both
heating and cooling. The flexibility of this system, which possibly exceeds that of …

The effects of climate change are increasing in both intensity and scope, altering many
important abiotic factors. Temperature is perhaps the most studied climatic factor, but there is …

Abstract Information on species thermal physiology is extremely important to understand
species responses to environmental heterogeneity and changes. Thermography is an …

Introduction to the special issue–Beyond CTMAX and CTMIN: Advances in studying the thermal
limits of reptiles and amphibians Page 1 Received: 31 December 2020 | Revised: 4 January …

Species–environmental relationships, including drivers of body temperature (TB), are
important for understanding thermal ecology and physiological needs of species during …

For many years lizard thermal ecology studies have relied on the use of contact thermometry
to obtain internal body temperature (T b) of the animals. However, with progressing …

Femoral glands of male lizards produce waxy secretions that are involved in inter-and
intraspecific chemical communication. The main components of these secretions are …

Previous research has demonstrated that dehydration increases the threshold temperature
for panting and decreases the thermal preference of lizards. Conversely, it is unknown …
