The article presents an attempt to characterize the thermoregulatory behavior of reptiles without direct observation of them by comparing the data of two thermal recorders: one sewn subcutaneously to the object of study and one placed in the biotope. The main difficulties that arise in the course of such studies are identified, and the most important conditions for successful implementation are identified. Based on the analysis of our own data, five main forms of thermoregulatory behavior in reptiles are identified and described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
