  • Title: The influence of metabolic cost upon the level and precision of behavioral thermoregulation in an eurythermic lizard.
    Author: Campbell JD.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol A Comp Physiol; 1985; 81(3):597-601. PubMed ID: 2863048.
    Abstract:
    The mean TB of G. coeruleus in each condition was positively correlated to the length of reinforcement, whereas the shuttle rate was inversely correlated to the length of reinforcement. The precision of TB regulation and the total metabolic expenditures of lizards did not vary significantly for different reinforcement regimes at the same ambient temperature. Eurythermality in G. coeruleus is caused by variations in preferred body temperature and not by fluctuations in TB around the particular regime body temperature.
