We conducted field warming experiments (present climate vs. warm climate) using open-top chambers to determine the effects of climate warming on active body temperature, oxidative damage, immune competence, growth and survival in two sympatric desert-dwelling lizards, Eremias multiocellata and Eremias argus from May 2019 to September 2020. Our climate warming treatment did not affect survival of the two species, but it did increase active body temperatures and growth rate in E. multiocellata compared to E. argus. Climate warming also induced greater oxidative damage (higher malondialdehyde content and catalase activity) in E. multiocellata, but not in E. argus. Further, climate warming increased immune competence in E. multiocellata, but decreased immune competence in E. argus, with regards to white blood cell counts, bacteria killing ability and relative expression of immunoglobulin M. Our results suggest that climate warming enhances body temperature, and thereby oxidative stress, immune competence and growth in E. multiocellata, but decreases immune competence of E. argus, perhaps as a cost of thermoregulation to maintain body temperatures under climate warming. The divergent physiological effects of climate warming on sympatric species may have profound ecological consequences if it eventually leads to changes in reproductive activities, population dynamics and community structure. Our study highlights the importance of considering interspecific differences in physiological traits when we evaluate the impact of climate warming on organisms, even for those closely-related species coexisting within the same geographical area.}, keywords = {SURVIVAL; GROWTH; climate warming; immune competence; Oxidative stress; physiological performance; sympatric lizards}, year = {2024}, eissn = {1879-1026} } @{MTMT:34633019, title = {Normal behaviour}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34633019}, author = {Gillingham, J.C. and Clark, D.L.}, booktitle = {Health and Welfare of Captive Reptiles}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-86012-7_5}, unique-id = {34633019}, year = {2023}, pages = {143-188} } @article{MTMT:32969824, title = {Temperature and barometric pressure affect the activity intensity and movement of an endangered thermoconforming lizard}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32969824}, author = {Ariano-Sanchez, Daniel and Mortensen, Rasmus M. and Wilson, Rory P. and Bjureke, Peder and Reinhardt, Stefanie and Rosell, Frank}, doi = {10.1002/ecs2.3990}, journal-iso = {ECOSPHERE}, journal = {ECOSPHERE}, volume = {13}, unique-id = {32969824}, issn = {2150-8925}, abstract = {Global warming is expected to affect movement-related thermoregulation in ectotherms, but the likely effects on thermoconforming lizards, which spend little energy in thermoregulation behavior, are unclear. We used the Guatemalan beaded lizard (Heloderma charlesbogerti) as a model thermoconforming species to investigate the effects of ambient temperature and barometric pressure (a cue for rain in the study area) on activity intensity and the structure of movement paths. We tracked 12 individuals over a total of 148 animal days during the wet season of 2019 using Global Positioning System tags and triaxial accelerometry. We found a clear positive effect of ambient temperature on activity (using vectorial dynamic body acceleration [VeDBA]) and step length of lizard movements. The movement also became more directional (longer step lengths and smaller turning angles) with increasing ambient temperatures. There was a small negative effect of barometric pressure on VeDBA. We propose that our patterns are indicative of internal state changes in the animals, as they move from a state of hunger, eliciting foraging, which is enhanced by lower temperatures and rainfall to a thermally stressed state, which initiates shelter-seeking.

The South American genus Liolaemus contains both oviparous and viviparous species, the latter generally dominating at high latitudes and high elevations. We report for the first time evidence suggesting oviparity in Liolaemus variegotus, an Andean lizard endemic to Bolivia. We record its presence at elevations up to 4,200 m on the Cordillera de Tiraque, which is among the highest localities for oviparous lizards in the world. We characterize the content of oviductal and aborted eggs and the structure of the shell of aborted eggs. Eggshell is 66.7 mu m thick and is composed of an outer calcareous layer, a thick fibrous mesh, and an inner boundary. The most abundant mineral crystals in the calcareous layer constitute a matrix of formless calcite depositions forming transversal grooves on the outer surface. In the bottom of those grooves are other pseudo-hexagonal prism crystals that could be aragonite and which contain some potassium. Computed tomographic reconstructions revealed a small region of higher density inside a flank of the yolk sac. Most of the oviductal and aborted eggs had non-distinguishable embryos even after opening them under an optic microscope, suggesting that the embryos were incipient.

Thermal ecology studies have traditionally tested how thermal constraints shape thermoregulatory behaviors without accounting for the potential major effects of landscape structure and water availability. Thus, we lack a general understanding of the multifactorial determinants of thermoregulatory behaviors in natural populations. In this study, we quantified the relative contribution of elevation, thermal gradient, moisture gradient, and landscape structure in explaining geographic variation in thermoregulation strategies of a terrestrial ectotherm species. We measured field-active body temperature, thermal preferences, and operative environmental temperatures to calculate thermoregulation indices, including thermal quality of the habitat and thermoregulation efficiency for a very large sample of common lizards (Zootoca vivipara) from 21 populations over 3 yr across the Massif Central mountain range in France. We used an information-theoretic approach to compare eight a priori thermo-hydroregulation hypotheses predicting how behavioral thermoregulation should respond to environmental conditions. Environmental characteristics exerted little influence on thermal preference with the exception that females from habitats with permanent access to water had lower thermal preferences. Field body temperatures and accuracy of thermoregulation were best predicted by the interaction between air temperature and a moisture index. In mesic environments, field body temperature and thermoregulation accuracy increased with air temperature, but they decreased in drier habitats. Thermoregulation efficiency (difference between thermoregulation inaccuracy and the thermal quality of the habitat) was maximized in cooler and more humid environments and was mostly influenced by the thermal quality of the habitat. Our study highlights complex patterns of variation in thermoregulation strategies, which are mostly explained by the interaction between temperature and water availability, independent of the elevation gradient or thermal heterogeneity. Although changes in landscape structure were expected to be the main driver of extinction rate of temperate zone ectotherms with ongoing global change, we conclude that changes in water availability coupled with rising temperatures might have a drastic impact on the population dynamics of some ectotherm species.}, keywords = {body temperature; Moisture gradient; landscape heterogeneity; Elevational gradient}, year = {2021}, eissn = {1557-7015}, orcid-numbers = {Rutschmann, Alexis/0000-0002-3654-5606; Miles, Donald B./0000-0001-5768-179X; Guillon, Michael/0000-0002-7917-1472; Badiane, Arnaud/0000-0002-5556-6613} } @article{MTMT:32233642, title = {Thermal Biology of Cold-climate Distributed Heilongjiang Grass Lizard, Takydromus amurensis}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32233642}, author = {Hao, Xin and Tao, Shiang and Meng, Yu and Liu, Jingyang and Cui, Luoxin and Liu, Wanli and Sun, Baojun and Liu, Peng and Zhao, Wenge}, doi = {10.16373/j.cnki.ahr.200020}, journal-iso = {ASIAN HERPETOL RES}, journal = {ASIAN HERPETOLOGICAL RESEARCH}, volume = {11}, unique-id = {32233642}, issn = {2095-0357}, abstract = {Thermal biology traits reflect thermal adaptations to an environment and can be used to infer responses to climate warming in animal species.

We compared the traits of tropical T. sexlineatus, subtropical T. septentrionalis, and T. wolteri with T. amurensis and found that the CTmax and thermal tolerance range (the difference between CTmax and CTmin; TTR) increased toward high latitudes, whereas CTmin increased toward low latitudes in these four Takydromus lizards.

Here, we experimentally assess the interactive effects of thermal conditions and water availability on activity patterns, shade selection and thermoregulation efficiency in a model ectothermic species. Thermoregulation behaviour of adult common lizardsZootoca viviparawas monitored in outdoor mesocosms as we manipulated water availability, providing water as mist in the morning and free-standing water during the daytime. We recorded operative temperatures and micro-meteorological conditions to infer thermal constraints and dehydration risk. Activity and shade selection were better predicted by continuous changes in thermal conditions and dehydration risk, respectively, than by threshold functions. In addition, water supplementation increased activity in males and reduced shade selection in both sexes, most probably as a behavioural response to the perception of a stronger dehydration risk. Water supplementation also influenced the thermal quality of the environment, which in turn altered daily activity patterns and thermoregulation statistics. This demonstrates that dual effects of heat and water stress on activity patterns may lead to stronger activity restriction as a result of climate change than currently predicted.}, keywords = {DEHYDRATION; body temperature; water availability; Activity; shade selection; non-avian reptiles}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1365-2656} } @article{MTMT:31739836, title = {Behavioural thermoregulation by the endangered crocodile lizard (Shinisaurus crocodilurus) in captivity}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31739836}, author = {Yang, Yu-Jie and Zeng, Zhi-Gao and Xing, Ke-Fan and Li, Shu-Ran and Yang, Chun-Sheng and Du, Wei-Guo}, doi = {10.1016/j.jtherbio.2020.102731}, journal-iso = {J THERM BIOL: ENVIRON EVOL MEDICINE}, journal = {JOURNAL OF THERMAL BIOLOGY: ENVIRONMENT EVOLUTION AND MEDICINE}, volume = {93}, unique-id = {31739836}, issn = {0306-4565}, abstract = {Understanding the factors that may affect behavioural thermoregulation of endangered reptiles is important for their conservation because thermoregulation determines body temperatures and in turn physiological functions of these ectotherms.

thermoregulation predicts variation in thermoregulatory strategies (from active thermoregulation to thermoconformity) with respect to the costs and benefits of the thermoregulatory behaviour and the thermal quality of the environment. Although this framework has been widely employed in correlative field studies, experimental tests aiming to evaluate the model are scarce. We conducted laboratory experiments to see whether the common lizard Zootoca vivipara, an active and effective thermoregulator in the field, can alter its thermoregulatory behaviour in response to differences in perceived predation risk and food supply in a constant thermal environment. Predation risk and food supply were represented by chemical cues of a sympatric snake predator and the lizards' food in the laboratory, respectively. We also compared males and postpartum females, which have different preferred or "target" body temperatures. Both sexes thermoregulated actively in all treatments. We detected sex-specific differences in the way lizards adjusted their accuracy of thermoregulation to the treatments: males were less accurate in the predation treatment, while no such effects were detected in females. Neither sex reacted to the food treatment. With regard to the two main types of thermoregulatory behaviour (activity and microhabitat selection), the treatments had no significant effects. However, postpartum females were more active than males in all treatments. Our results further stress that increasing physiological performance by active thermoregulation has high priority in lizard behaviour, but also shows that lizards can indeed shift their accuracy of thermoregulation in response to costs with possible immediate negative fitness effects (i.e. predation-caused mortality).}, keywords = {BODY-TEMPERATURE; body temperature; BEHAVIORAL THERMOREGULATION; REPRODUCTIVE SUCCESS; ALTITUDINAL GRADIENT; TERRESTRIAL ECTOTHERMS; Zootoca vivipara; THERMAL BIOLOGY; CHEMICAL CUES; LACERTA-VIVIPARA; ZOOTOCA-VIVIPARA SQUAMATA; STANDARD OPERATIVE TEMPERATURE; thermoregulatory strategy; thermoregulatory behaviour}, year = {2008}, eissn = {1432-1939}, pages = {1-10}, orcid-numbers = {Herczeg, Gábor/0000-0003-0441-342X} } @article{MTMT:22021449, title = {Extreme variation in body temperature in a nocturnal thigmothermic lizard}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/22021449}, author = {Rock, J and Cree, A}, journal-iso = {HERPETOL J}, journal = {HERPETOLOGICAL JOURNAL}, volume = {18}, unique-id = {22021449}, issn = {0268-0130}, year = {2008}, eissn = {0268-0130}, pages = {69-76} } @article{MTMT:23060789, title = {Review of recent taxonomic and nomenclatural changes in European Amphibia and Reptilia Class related to Romanian herpetofauna}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/23060789}, author = {Sos, T}, journal-iso = {HERPETOL ROMAN}, journal = {HERPETOLOGICA ROMANICA}, volume = {2}, unique-id = {23060789}, issn = {1842-9203}, year = {2008}, eissn = {2066-7035}, pages = {61-91} } @article{MTMT:1879998, title = {Experimental support for the cost-benefit model of lizard thermoregulation}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/1879998}, author = {Herczeg, Gábor and Gonda, A and Saarikivi, J and Merila, J}, doi = {10.1007/s00265-006-0180-6}, journal-iso = {BEHAV ECOL SOCIOBIOL}, journal = {BEHAVIORAL ECOLOGY AND SOCIOBIOLOGY}, volume = {60}, unique-id = {1879998}, issn = {0340-5443}, abstract = {According to Huey and Slatkin's [Q Rev Biol 51:363-384, 1976] cost-benefit model of behavioural thermoregulation, lizards should adjust their thermoregulatory strategy between active thermoregulation and thermoconformity (no thermoregulation) according to the costs (time and energy spent thermoregulating, exposure to predators), benefits (optimised physiological performance) and thermal quality of environment associated with a given situation. However, Gilchrist's [Am Nat 146:252-270, 1995] model of thermal specialisation suggests that apparently costly mechanisms of behavioural thermoregulation can greatly increase fitness if the optimal body temperature is achieved. Field studies of ectotherm thermoregulatory strategies under extreme cold conditions and experiments testing the effects of cool environments on thermoregulatory behaviour are surprisingly scarce. We conducted laboratory experiments to test if common lizards Zootoca vivipara (an active thermoregulator in the field) are able to switch between active thermoregulation and thermoconformity in response to different thermal environments. We found that lizards in treatments with an opportunity to reach their preferred body temperature thermoregulated accurately, maintained their level of daily activity and improved their body condition considerably. In contrast, lizards in the treatment where the preferred body temperature could not be reached became thermoconformers, decreased their daily activity (except for gravid females) and did not increase their body condition. Our results show that lizards can indeed change their thermoregulatory strategy but stress that maintaining the preferred body temperature and, thus, optimising the physiological performance have high priority in lizard behaviour.}, keywords = {RESPONSES; BODY-TEMPERATURE; body temperature; SCELOPORUS LIZARDS; ALTITUDINAL GRADIENT; BEHAVIORAL MECHANISMS; TERRESTRIAL ECTOTHERMS; Zootoca vivipara; THERMAL ECOLOGY; THERMAL BIOLOGY; LACERTA-VIVIPARA; ZOOTOCA-VIVIPARA SQUAMATA; STANDARD OPERATIVE TEMPERATURE; thermoregulatory behaviour}, year = {2006}, eissn = {1432-0762}, pages = {405-414}, orcid-numbers = {Herczeg, Gábor/0000-0003-0441-342X} } @article{MTMT:22021452, title = {Ecological constraints on the evolutionary association between field and preferred temperatures in Tropidurinae lizards}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/22021452}, author = {Kohlsdorf, T and Navas, CA}, doi = {10.1007/s10682-006-9116-x}, journal-iso = {EVOL ECOL}, journal = {EVOLUTIONARY ECOLOGY}, volume = {20}, unique-id = {22021452}, issn = {0269-7653}, year = {2006}, eissn = {1573-8477}, pages = {549-564} }
