Ethological Aspects of Stress in a Model Lizard, Anolis carolinensis.

Research on the stress response in reptiles can provide a useful comparative perspective for understanding how the constituent elements of the response can be put into service of diverse behavioral adaptations. A summary of the neural and endocrine causes and consequences of specific behavioral patterns seen in the small diurnal lizard, Anolis carolinensis, has provided a model for the explorat...

Territoriality and Spatial Structure in the Green Anole, Anolis carolinensis

Incubation temperature modifies neonatal thermoregulation in the lizard Anolis carolinensis.

The thermal environment experienced during embryonic development can profoundly affect the phenotype, and potentially the fitness, of ectothermic animals. We examined the effect of incubation temperature on the thermal preferences of juveniles in the oviparous lizard, Anolis carolinensis. Temperature preference trials were conducted in a laboratory thermal gradient within 48 hr of hatching and ...

Hormonal Regulation of Growth in a Lizard, Anolis Carolinensis

Anolis appears to be "functionally hypophysectomized" when exposed to short photoperiods. Experiments were designed to determine whether daily injections of hormones could stimulate growth in anoles "functionally hypophysectomized" by eaqaosure to six hours of light per day. Injections of either 10 mg./kg./day of bovine growth hormone or 7 mg./kg./day of desiccated thyroid stimulated growth due...
