Temperature, Activity, and Lizard Life Histories

Abstract: Lizard life-history characteristics vary widely among species and populations. Most authors seek adaptive or phylogenetic explanations for life-history patterns, which are usually presumed to reflect genetic differences. However, lizard life histories are often phenotypically plastic, varying in response to temperature, food availability, and other environmental factors. Despite the importance of temperature to lizard ecology and physiology, its effects on life histories have received relatively little attenti… Show more

“…Alternatively, FID may also be affected by other factors that vary throughout the day, such as temperature (Cooper Jr. 2000, 2003. Lizard activity and life histories are strongly tied to temperature (Adolph and Porter 1993), and air and substrate temperature in particular can affect their locomotor capacity (Crowley 1985) and movement rates (Grant and Dunham 1988). These temperatures should also influence the costs associated with fleeing a predator at different times of day, thereby affecting FID (e.g., Cooper Jr. 2000).…”

“…A minha revisão é bem mais sucinta, influenciada pelo trabalho citado (Adolph e Porter, 1993) e limitada aos efeitos que julgo relevantes no contexto de mudanças climáticas no Brasil. Em adultos, os efeitos descritos são bastante consistentes.…”

“…Em consequência, provavelmente crescerão mais rapidamente, atingirão o amadurecimento sexual mais precocemente e se reproduzirão com maior frequência (aumentando a fecundidade). Apesar disso tudo, os efeitos do aumento da temperatura na fecundidade são parcialmente compensatórios, já que o aumento da fecundidade é acompanhado de diminuição nas taxas de sobrevivência anuais (Adolph e Porter, 1993). Isso significa que o impacto das mudanças de temperatura na dinâmica populacional dos lagartos seria também parcialmente atenuado desde que outros fatores não sejam alterados.…”
