摘要: Body temperature relations of nine species lizards from Baja California were investigated. Both endogenous and exogenous factors appear to contribute body variation. Positive correlations between air temperatures found for four species. Besides such environmental effects, observations experiments suggest that occurring in thermally diverse habitats have greater tolerances extreme than do forms less habitats. A survey the literature points a correlation number variance mean within group closely related forms.
