| resistance of a lizard (the green anole, anolis carolinensis; polychridae) to ultraviolet radiation-induced immunosuppression. | the green anole (anolis carolinensis) is the most northerly distributed of its neotropical genus. this lizard avoids a winter hibernation phase by the use of sun basking behaviors. inevitably, this species is exposed to high doses of ambient solar ultraviolet radiation (uvr). increases in terrestrial ultraviolet-b (uv-b) radiation secondary to stratospheric ozone depletion and habitat perturbation potentially place this species at risk of uvr-induced immunosuppression. daily exposure to subinfla ... | 2001 | 11460536 |
