The critical thermal maximum: history and critique
- W. I. Lutterschmidt, V. Hutchison
- Biology
- 1 October 1997
We reviewed 725 papers published since Cowles and Bogert's paper on thermal tolerance (R.B. Cowles and C.M. Bogert. 1944. Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist. 83: 261–296) to create a data base of studies that… Expand
The critical thermal maximum: data to support the onset of spasms as the definitive end point
- W. I. Lutterschmidt, V. Hutchison
- Biology
- 1 October 1997
We provide data to support the onset of spasms (OS) as the definitive end point for determining thermal tolerance with the critical thermal maximum (CTMax). We measured the CTMax of 610 animals in… Expand
Seasonal variation in hormonal responses of timber rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) to reproductive and environmental stressors

Data addressing adrenocortical modulation across taxonomic groups are limited, especially with regard to how female reproductive condition influences the sensitivity of the… Expand
Relative Medial and Dorsal Cortex Volume in Relation to Sex Differences in Spatial Ecology of a Snake Population
- E. D. Roth, W. I. Lutterschmidt, D. Wilson

- Brain, Behavior and Evolution
- 2006
In non-avian reptiles the medial and dorsal cortices are putative homologues of the hippocampal formation in mammals and birds. Studies on mammals and birds commonly report neuro-ecological… Expand
Thermoregulatory accuracy, precision, and effectiveness in two sand-dwelling lizards under mild environmental conditions
- S. S. Sartorius, J. P. D. Amaral, Richard D. Durtsche, Cari M. Deen, W. I. Lutterschmidt
- Biology
- 1 November 2002
We investigated thermoregulation and habitat use in two sympatric lizard species of the family Phrynosomatidae (side-blotched lizards, Uta stansburiana, and sand-dune lizards, Sceloporus arenicolus)… Expand
Modeling body temperature and thermal inertia of large-bodied reptiles: Support for water-filled biophysical models in radiotelemetric studies
- W. I. Lutterschmidt, H. Reinert
- Biology
- 1 July 2012
Abstract Radiotelemetric studies of snakes often use temperature-sensing transmitters to measure the body temperatures associated with microhabitat selection. By combining this information with… Expand
Locomotor Performance in Juvenile and Adult Box Turtles (Terrapene carolina): A Reanalysis for Effects of Body Size and Extrinsic Load Using a Terrestrial Species
- Glenn A. Marvin, W. I. Lutterschmidt
- Biology
- 1 December 1997
vestigated the relationship between body size and locomotor performance. Sprint or burst speed in some iguanid and helodermatid species is mass independent (e.g., Garland, 1984; Beck et al., 1995),… Expand
Seasonal and Long-Term Changes in the Fish Assemblage of a Small Stream Isolated by a Reservoir

Alarm response by a plethodontid salamander (Desmognathus ochrophaeus): Conspecific and heterospecific “Schreckstoff”
- W. I. Lutterschmidt, Glenn A. Marvin, V. Hutchison
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of Chemical Ecology
- 1 November 1994
The detection of chemical alarm cues plays an important role for predator avoidance in many taxonomic groups, but little is known about the presence of such chemical cues in adult or caudate… Expand
TEMPERATURE | Measures of Thermal Tolerance
- T. L. Beitinger, W. I. Lutterschmidt
- Biology
- 2011
Measures of thermal tolerance quantify the subset of temperatures under which a species can maximize fitness defining a major component of a fish’s abiotic niche. Thermal tolerance and a fish’s… Expand
