Selected body temperature of nine species of Mexican horned lizards (Phrynosoma)

Temperature plays an important role in the behavior, ecology, physiology, and evolution of reptiles. Herein, we present selected body temperatures on 9 species of Phrynosoma under laboratory conditions, and note congeneric differences related to altitude and reproductive mode. The results are discus...

Description
Summary:Temperature plays an important role in the behavior, ecology, physiology, and evolution of reptiles. Herein, we present selected body temperatures on 9 species of Phrynosoma under laboratory conditions, and note congeneric differences related to altitude and reproductive mode. The results are discussed with those of other phrynosomatid lizards. La temperatura juega un rol importante en el comportamiento, ecología, fisiología y evolución de reptiles. Aquí, se presentan las temperaturas corporales seleccionadas de nueve especies de Phrynosoma bajo condiciones de laboratorio, tomando en cuenta la relación con la altitud y el modo reproductor. Se discuten los resultados con las temperaturas corporales de otros phrynosomátidos.
