Climate change is putting the fate of ectothermic animals at stake because their body
temperature closely tracks environmental temperatures. The ability to adjust thermal limits …

Ectotherms that maintain thermal balance in the face of varying climates should be able to
colonise a wide range of habitats. In lizards, thermoregulation usually appears as a variety …

While most of the available studies on climate change effects on Lepidosauria focused on
changes in species distribution, none has focused on evaluating biogeographic and …

In recent decades, changes in climate have caused impacts on natural and human systems
on all continents and across the oceans and many species have shifted their geographic …

Aim Many ectotherms are at risk from climate change as temperatures are increasingly
exceeding their thermal limits. Many evaluations of the vulnerability of ectotherms to climate …

Climate change poses one of the greatest threats to biodiversity. Most analyses of the
impacts have focused on changes in mean temperature, but increasing variance will also …

Reptiles are sensitive to temperature changes as ectotherm animals. The climate warming
may pose more serious threat to reptiles. Although the behavior effect and reproduction …

Sister species that live in sympatry provide the possibility to analyse the level of divergence
in their ecological, physiological and life-history traits and how they can coexist without out …

Global change, including habitat isolation and climate change, has both short‐and long‐
term impacts on wildlife populations. For example, genetic drift and inbreeding result in …

Lizards are considered vulnerable to climate change because many operate near their
thermal maxima. Exposure to higher temperatures could reduce activity of these animals by …
