Seasonal and geographic variation in thermal biology of the lizard Microlophus atacamensis (Squamata: Tropiduridae) [PDF]
Journal of Thermal Biology, 2008 Abstract 1. We studied physiological thermal adaptation in the lizard Microlophus atacamensis along a latitudinal range. 2. Field body temperatures were independent from thermal environmental conditions, and show seasonal, but not geographical differences.

Microlophus atacamensis as a biomonitor of coastal contamination in the Atacama Desert, Chile: An evaluation through a non-lethal technique [PDF]
Environmental Pollution, 2021 In this report, we investigated the accumulation of heavy metals in the lizard Microlophus atacamensis, in three coastal areas of the Atacama Desert, northern Chile. We captured reptiles in a non-intervened area (Parque Nacional Pan de Azúcar, PAZ), an area of mining impact (Caleta Palitos, PAL) and an active industrial zone (Puerto de Caldera, CAL ...

Geographical variation in the use of intertidal rocky shores by the lizard Microlophus atacamensis in relation to changes in terrestrial productivity along the Atacama Desert coast [PDF]
Journal of Animal Ecology, 2008 1. The movement of materials and organisms between ecosystems is a common process in nature. 2. In the present study we investigate the hypothesis that the movement of consumers between ecosystems depends not only on the differences in productivity between ecosystems and prey availability, but also on these animals' biological characteristics. 3.

Geometric morphometric analysis of the head of Microlophus atacamensis (Tropiduridae) in a latitudinal gradient. [PDF]
Zool Stud, 2015 Clinal variation is defined as gradual variation in a character associated with geographic distance among sites. Microlophus atacamensis is a medium large lizard species which inhabits the intertidal zone of northern Chile, distributed from Antofagasta (23° 39' S) to Arrayán, La Serena (29° 41' S) in a gradient which could show clinal variation ...
