How seasonality influences the thermal biology of lizards with different thermoregulatory strategies: a meta‐analysis

ABSTRACT Ectotherms that maintain thermal balance in the face of varying climates should be able to colonise a wide range of habitats. In lizards, thermoregulation usually appears as a variety of behaviours that buffer external influences over physiology. Basking species rely on solar radiation to r...
