Thermal physiology of Amazonian lizards (Reptilia: Squamata)
Diele-Viegas, Luisa Maria; Vitt, Laurie Joseph; Sinervo, Barry R.; Colli, Guarino R.; Werneck, F. P.; Miles, Donald B.; Magnusson, William ErnestWe summarize thermal-biology data of 69 species of Amazonian lizards, including mode of thermoregulation and field-active body temperatures (Tb). We also provide new data on preferred temperatures (Tpref), voluntary and thermal-tolerance ranges, and thermal-performance curves (TPC’s) for 27 species from nine sites in the Brazilian Amazonia. We tested for phylogenetic signal and pairwise correlations among therm...
Squamata (Reptilia) from four sites in southern Amazonia, with a biogeographic ...
Avila-Pires, Teresa Cristina Sauer; Vitt, Laurie Joseph; Sartorius, Shawn Scott; Zani, Peter AndrewEstuda-se a fauna de répteis Squamata de quatro localidades da Amazônia meridional brasileira, comparando-as entre si e, com relação aos lagartos, com outras nove áreas bem amostradas de toda a Amazônia. O Coeficiente de Similaridade Biogeográfico para cada par de localidades é calculado e analisada sua correlação com a distância entre as localidades. Uma Análise Parcimoniosa de Endemismos (PAE) é realizada, co...

Ávila-Pires, Teresa Cristina Sauer de; Vitt, Laurie Joseph; Sartorius, Shawn Scott; Zani, Peter AndrewWe studied the squamate fauna from four sites in southern Amazonia of Brazil. We also summarized data on lizard faunas for nine other well-studied areas in Amazonia to make pairwise comparisons among sites. The Biogeographic Similarity Coefficient for each pair of sites was calculated and plotted against the geographic distance between the sites. A Parsimony Analysis of Endemicity was performed comparing all si...
