Could plasticity mediate highlands lizards’ resilience to climate change? A case study of the leopard iguana (Diplolaemus leopardinus) in Central Andes of Argentina
(Company of Biologists, 2021-07)
The predicted rise of global temperatures is of major concern for ectotherms because of its direct impact on their behavior and physiology. As physiological performance mediates a species’ resilience to warming exposure, ...
Impact of immunological state on eco-physiological variables in one of the southernmost lizards in the world
(Academia Brasileira de Ciencias, 2019-12)
The immune state is a key component of individuals that directly influences the physiological performance and health status, being essential for survival. Variation in the leukocyte profile, a significantly increase in ...
Determination of piglets' rectal temperature and respiratory rate through skin surface temperature under climatic chamber conditions
(2015-01-01)
In animal farming, an automatic and precise control of environmental conditions needs information from variables derived from the animals themselves, i.e. they act as biosensors. Rectal temperature (RT) and respiratory ...
Vulnerability to global warming of a Critically Endangered lizard from the Monte Desert, Patagonia Argentina
(National Research Council Canada-NRC Research Press, 2021-06)
The body temperature of lizards is strongly influenced by the thermal quality of microhabitats, exploiting the favourable environmental temperatures, and avoiding exposure to extreme thermal conditions. For these reasons, ...
Adaptation of the spiders to the environment: the case of some Chilean species
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)
Spiders are small arthropods that have colonized terrestrial environments. These impose three main problems: (i) terrestrial habitats have large fluctuations in temperature and humidity; (ii) the internal concentration of ...
Efeito da temperatura sobre a ventilação, metabolismo e preferência térmica em duas populações de lagarto da espécie Tropidurus torquatus
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma Interinstitucional de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Fisiológicas - PIPGCFCâmpus São Carlos, 2015-09-09)
Several studies have demonstrated the environment's influence on the
ecology and physiology of organisms and that environmental variations can promote
behavioral and physiological adaptations of an individual, thus tracing ...
Thermal relationships and exercise physiology in anuran amphibians: Integration and evolutionary implications
(Elsevier B.V., 2008-11-01)
Thermal and water balance are coupled in anurans, and species with particularly permeable skin avoid overheating more effectively than minimizing variance of body temperature. In turn, temperature affects muscle performance ...

Interplay between thermal and immune ecology: Effect of environmental temperature on insect immune response and energetic costs after an immune challenge
(Elsevier, 2012)
Although the study of thermoregulation in insects has shown that infected animals tend to prefer higher
temperatures than healthy individuals, the immune response and energetic consequences of this preference
remain ...
Seasonal shifts in the thermal biology of the lizard Liolaemus tandiliensis (Squamata, Liolaemidae)
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-04)
Small lizards can accommodate to constraints imposed by temporal changes in ambient temperature through a combination of adaptive evolution and behavioral and physiological plasticity. Thermal physiology plasticity may ...
