Examining the ecological plasticity of thermal performance for a color-polymorphic lizard
Meeting Abstract 46.3 Monday, Jan. 5 11:00 Examining the ecological plasticity of thermal performance for a color-polymorphic lizard GILBERT, A.L.*; MILES, D.B.; Ohio University; Ohio University anthony.gilbert09@gmail.com The use of thermal performance curves (TPC)’s to estimate lizard responses to climate warming has become common. Examining performance at varying ambient temperatures allows for comparisons of organismal performance dependent […]

Behavioral Thermoregulation and Thermal Constraints on Growth in Juvenile Gopher Tortoises
Meeting Abstract 46.2 Monday, Jan. 5 10:45 Behavioral Thermoregulation and Thermal Constraints on Growth in Juvenile Gopher Tortoises RADZIO, TA*; O’CONNOR, MP; Drexel University; Drexel University tar55@drexel.edu Many reptiles behaviorally regulate their body temperatures to increase energy assimilation and growth. However, some reptiles may limit thermoregulation due to increased predation risk associated with basking or other thermoregulatory […]
