The metabolic cost of behavioral thermoregulation of body temperature in the northern alligator lizard Gerrhonotus coeruleus, and how it affects the classical concept of eurythermality [PDF]

open access: bronze, 1981
The effect of total metabolic cost expenditures on the precision of behavioral thermoregulation was investigated for the purportedly eurythermic Northern Alligator lizard (Gerrhonotus coeruleus). An operant apparatus was designed to test metabolic output

Functional relationship between peripheral thermosensation and behavioral thermoregulation

open access: greenFrontiers in Neural Circuits
Thermoregulation is a fundamental mechanism for maintaining homeostasis in living organisms because temperature affects essentially all biochemical and physiological processes. Effector responses to internal and external temperature cues are critical for

Can newts cope with the heat? Disparate thermoregulatory strategies of two sympatric species in water. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Many ectotherms effectively reduce their exposure to low or high environmental temperatures using behavioral thermoregulation. In terrestrial ectotherms, thermoregulatory strategies range from accurate thermoregulation to thermoconformity according to ...

Behavioral thermoregulation by reptile embryos promotes hatching success and synchronization

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
Reptile embryos can move inside eggs to seek optimal thermal conditions, falsifying the traditional assumption that embryos are simply passive occupants within their eggs.

Seasonal Variation in the Thermoregulation Pattern of an Insular Agamid Lizard

open access: yesAnimals, 2023
Ectotherms, including lizards, rely on behavioral thermoregulation to maintain their body temperature within an optimal range. The benign climate of islands is expected to favor the thermoregulation efficiency of reptiles throughout their activity period.
