What is Thermoregulation by the short-horned lizard (Phrynosoma douglassi) at high elevation about?
AbstractÐThe short-horned lizard Phrynosoma douglassi was studied in a montane habitat (elevation of 2290 m) in the Guadalupe Mountains of Texas. The body temperatures (T b ) of active lizards were consistently between 35±368C (grand mean = 35.58C) in the period from 0900 to 1800 h during the months of May through September. The lizards began their spring activity during April when environmental temperatures were still low. Although T b s in April were signi®cantly lower than during May through September, on sunny April days the lizards were able to maintain T b s near 308C even when air temperatures were as low as 1.58C. P. douglassi at this site thermoregulated very eectively whenever they were not limited by the physical environment.
