Thermal physiology of Amazonian lizards (Reptilia: Squamata)

It is found that open-habitat species perform well under present environmental conditions, without experiencing detectable thermal stress from high environmental temperatures induced in lab experiments, and for forest-dwelling lizards, the expect warming trends in Amazonia to induce thermal stress, as temperatures surpass the thermal tolerances for these species.

Time of activity is a better predictor of the distribution of a tropical lizard than pure environmental temperatures

Daily variation in environmental temperatures can limit the amount of time lizards have to perform important activities, such as foraging or mating. We compare a number of methodological choices for…
