Comparative ecophysiology of two sympatric lizards. Laying the groundwork for mechanistic distribution models

Enrique García-Muñoz, Miguel Angel Carretero. Acta Herpetologica. 8(2). 2013. Distribution modelling usually makes inferences correlating species presence and environmental variables but does not take biotic relations into account. Alternative approaches based on a mechanistic understanding of biological processes are now being applied. Regarding lacertid lizards, physiological traits such as preferred body temperature (Tp) are well known to correlate with several physiological optima. Leer más.
