  • Title: Influence of a broad temperature range on the oxygen consumption rates of three desert lizard species.
    Author: Al-Sadoon MK.
    Journal: Comp Biochem Physiol A Comp Physiol; 1986; 84(2):339-44. PubMed ID: 2873932.
    Abstract:
    Oxygen consumption rates of three desert lizard species: (Acanthodactylus boskianus, Lacertidae; Scincus mitranus, Scincidae; Diplometopon zarudnyi, Amphisbaenidae) were determined in relation to ambient temperatures ranging from 10 to 35 degrees C using a double-chamber, volumetric closed system. The interspecific differences in the oxygen consumption rates were found to have a close relationship between the characteristics of the M-T curves, the thermoregulatory behaviour and the ecology of the respective species. The M-T curves of the studied lizards were specifically modified and adjusted to their climatic region.
