Physiological responses of the lizard Sauromalus obesus to changes in ambient temperature.
CRAWFORD, EUGENE C., JR., AND GEOFFREY KAMPE. Physiological responses of the lizard Sauromalus obesus to changes in ambient temperature. Am. J. Physiol. 220(5) : 12561260. 197 1 .-Animals were subjected to ambient temperatures from 26 to 43.5 C. Body temperatures remained 0.2-O. 7 C above ambient. Cutaneous evaporation increased from 2.0 to 9.5 mg HaO/cmz.day, with a & of 2.43. Respiratory evap...
متن کاملMating system variation and morph fluctuations in a polymorphic lizard.
In polymorphic male painted dragon lizards (Ctenophorus pictus), red males win staged contests for females over yellow males, and yellow males have greater success in staged sperm competition trials than red males. This predicts different reproductive strategies in the wild with red males being more coercive or better mate guarders than yellow males. Yellow males would be expected to sire more ...
متن کاملCommon Chuckwalla (sauromalus Ater) in an Urban Preserve: Persistence of a Small Population and Estimation of Longevity
—Field studies of amphibians and reptiles rarely span more than two or three years necessitating that inferences concerning population biology of many forms are derived from brief snap-shots of their life history. In 2011 we resurveyed one small population of the Common Chuckwalla (Sauromalus ater) in the Lookout Mountain Preserve in the Phoenix Metropolitan region studied intensively during th...
متن کاملSexual Dimorphisms in Aggressive Signal Structure and Use by a Polygynous Lizard, Anolis carolinensis
Unlike many polygynous species, we found that females of the lizard, Anolis carolinensis, have the same repertoire of aggressive signals as males. These shared signals included three stereotyped headbob display patterns (types A, B, and C) that were performed with no significant intersexual difference in amplitude displacement. However, we did find the following sexual dimorphisms in signal str...
متن کاملActivity Predicts Male Reproductive Success in a Polygynous Lizard
Activity patterns and social interactions play a key role in determining reproductive success, although this is poorly understood for species that lack overt social behaviour. We used genetic paternity analysis to quantify both multiple paternity and the relative roles of activity and social behaviour in determining reproductive success in a nondescript Australian lizard. During the breeding se...
