Analysis of the thermal physiology of the Andean lizard Stenocercus festae (Squamata: Iguanidae: Tropidurinae) to predict possible extinctions in their populations due to climate change

We studied the thermal physiology of the Andean lizard Stenocercus festae, a thermoregulatory lizard that inhabits sub-Andean forests at southern Ecuador, to address the potential effects of climate change on its populations. Experimental data showed that the preferred body temperature (Tpref) was 2...
