LARA-RESENDIZ, Rafael A. et al. Selected body temperature of nine species of Mexican horned lizards (Phrynosoma). Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2015, vol.86, n.1, pp.275-278. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.48028.

Temperature plays an important role in the behavior, ecology, physiology, and evolution of reptiles. Herein, we present selected body temperatures on 9 species of Phrynosoma under laboratory conditions, and note congeneric differences related to altitude and reproductive mode. The results are discussed with those of other Phrynosomatid lizards.

Palabras llave : Thermal gradient; Phrynosomatids; Laboratory conditions; Preferred temperature; Reproductive mode; Altitude.
