A global analysis of field body temperatures of active squamates in relation to climate and behaviour Universiteit Antwerpen
AimSquamate fitness is affected by body temperature, which in turn is influenced by environmental temperatures and, in many species, by exposure to solar radiation. The biophysical drivers of body temperature have been widely studied, but we lack an integrative synthesis of actual body temperatures experienced in the field, and their relationships to environmental temperatures, across phylogeny, behaviour and climate.LocationGlobal (25 countries ...
