| latitudinal comparison of the thermal biology in the endemic lizard liolaemus multimaculatus. | thermoregulation in ectotherms may be modulated by climatic variability across geographic gradients. environmental temperature varies along latitudinal clines resulting in heterogeneous thermal resource availability, which generally induces ectotherms to use compensatory mechanisms to thermoregulate. lizards can accommodate to ambient temperature changes through a combination of adaptive evolution and behavioral and physiological plasticity. we studied the thermal ecology of the endangered endem ... | 2020 | 32125975 |
| scale dependency of liolaemus lizards' home range in response to different environmental variables. | animal habitat-use patterns cannot be isolated from scale issues. consequently, multi-scale studies provide a complete characterization of ecological patterns that can further explain the observed variation. liolaemus constitutes the world's second most speciose lizard genus. in this study, we assessed the relationships between home range size and environmental variables at 3 different spatial scales. the study at a local and regional scale was focused on the habitat specialist liolaemus multima ... | 2016 | 29491942 |
