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 …

This chapter focuses on the ethological aspects and proximate mechanisms of
thermoregulatory behavior of lizards, occasionally drawing from research on other reptiles. It …

Aunque Tropidurus es un género de lagarto extensamente distribuido en Sudamérica y en
las islas Galápagos, son escasos los estudios sobre uso del espacio y distribución espacial …

Temperature has a significant influence on physiology, ecology, and life history of
ectotherms. Despite environmental fluctuations, lizards have developed behavioral …

In this study, we performed field observations of 38 and 84 specimens of the lizards
Tropidurus hispidus (Spix, 1825) and Tropidurus semitaeniatus (Spix, 1825), respectively …

Herein we describe the reproductive biology of a population of the Amazon Lava Lizard
(Tropidurus torquatus (Wied-Neuwied, 1820)) from Corrientes, northeastern Argentina (Wet …

Divergences in ecological niche dimensions favor the coexistence of species in syntopy.
Supposedly, closely related species face stronger pressures to differ in dimensions of …

Climatic envelope models have predicted the extinction of populations, but few studies have
provided accounts of responses of individual species to climate change. Herein, we report …

Theoretical models predict that lizards adjust their body temperature through behavioral
thermoregulation as a function of food availability. However, behavioral thermoregulation is …

This study assessed the thermal ecology of Tropidurus hispidus and T. semitaeniatus in a
caatinga area in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The mean activity body …
