Temperature acclimation affects thermal preference and tolerance in three Eremias lizards ( Lacertidae )
We acclimated adult males of three Eremias lizards from different latitudes to 28 °C, 33 °Cor 38 °Cto examine whether temperature acclimation affects their thermal preference and tolerance and whether thermal preference and tolerance of these lizards correspond with their latitudinal distributions. Overall , selected body temperature ( Tsel) and viable temperature range (VTR) were both highest ...
متن کاملcomparative skull osteology of the lacertid lizards eremias persica and mesalina watsonana (sauria: lacertidae)
the skull of two lacertid lizards of iran including eremias persica from isfahan province, central iranian plateau and mesalina watsonana from birjand in southern khorasan province, eastern iran, was described and compared based on seven dry skull preparations. prominent differences included: the shape of the premaxilla and its articulation with other skull elements, the shape of the frontal (p...
متن کاملPhylogeny and divergence times of some racerunner lizards (Lacertidae: Eremias) inferred from mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene segments.
Eremias, or racerunners, is a widespread lacertid genus occurring in China, Mongolia, Korea, Central Asia, Southwest Asia and Southeast Europe. It has been through a series of taxonomic revisions, but the phylogenetic relationships among the species and subgenera remain unclear. In this study, a frequently studied region of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA was used to (i) reassess the phylogenetic re...
متن کاملThermal Preference of Juvenile Dover Sole (Solea solea) in Relation to Thermal Acclimation and Optimal Growth Temperature
Dover sole (Solea solea) is an obligate ectotherm with a natural thermal habitat ranging from approximately 5 to 27°C. Thermal optima for growth lie in the range of 20 to 25°C. More precise information on thermal optima for growth is needed for cost-effective Dover sole aquaculture. The main objective of this study was to determine the optimal growth temperature of juvenile Dover sole (Solea so...
متن کاملAcclimation and thermal tolerance in Antarctic marine ectotherms.
Antarctic marine species have evolved in one of the coldest and most temperature-stable marine environments on Earth. They have long been classified as being stenothermal, or having a poor capacity to resist warming. Here we show that their ability to acclimate their physiology to elevated temperatures is poor compared with species from temperate latitudes, and similar to those from the tropics...
