Seasonal activity and basking of the southernmost population of the freshwater turtle Phrynops hilarii (Chelidae)
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2017-03)
This study focuses on basking behaviour of Phrynops hilarii in the southernmost population of the species' range. The objective was to determine how environmental features affect the basking behaviour of the species. We ...
Estimating the geographic range of a threatened shark in a data-poor region: Cetorhinus maximus in the South Atlantic Ocean
(Oxford University Press, 2015-10)
The distribution of the planktivorous basking shark Cetorhinus maximus is influenced by zooplankton abundance at small scales and temperature at medium scales in the North Atlantic. Here, we estimate the distribution of ...
Tribute to R.G. Boutilier: Skin colour and body temperature changes in basking Bokermannohyla alvarengai (Bokermann 1956)
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2006-04-01)
In amphibians solar basking far from water sources is relatively uncommon since the highly permeable amphibian skin does not represent a significant barrier to the accompanying risk of losing water by evaporation. A South ...

Anuran skin and basking behavior: the case of the treefrog Bokermannohyla alvarengai (Bokermann, 1956)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)
We investigated the morphology of the skin and the biochemistry of the lipids in the skin secretion of Bokermannohyla alvarengai, a montane treefrog that is known to bask regularly, motionless in full sunlight for extended ...
Basking and retreat site selection of phymaturus palluma, a rock-dwelling lizard in the highlands of aconcagua
(Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2021-05)
Basking and retreat sites constitute a key resource in the habitat of any ectotherm. Identifying the elements that are used and modelling the microhabitat selection of species is crucial for assessing the impact of ...
Orientation of thermoregulating Tropidurus torquatus (Sauria : Tropiduridae) on termite mounds in an open area of south-eastern Brazil

Basking behaviour in two sympatric herbivorous lizards (Liolaemidae: Phymaturus) from the Payunia volcanic region of Argentina
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2013-03)
We studied several aspects of the thermal biology of two coexisting saxicolous species of the genus Phymaturus (Liolaemidae) at the Payunia, a volcanic region in Argentina where harsh conditions prevail. We marked individuals ...
