Abstract:Since high temperatures and low water availability often strike organisms in parallel, observing how they behaviorally thermohydroregulate may help us to better understand their climatic vulnerability. This understanding is especially important for tropical lizards, purportedly under greater climatic risk. We observed the influence of hydration level on the Voluntary Thermal Maximum (VTM) of two small amazonian lizard species: Loxopholis ferreirai (semiaquatic and scansorial) and Loxopholis percarinatum (leaf … Show more
