Overall, the maintenance of redox homeostasis across contrasting thermal and temporal winter regimes indicates substantial physiological plasticity and resilience of P. muralis to altered thermal environments during hibernation, highlighting the capacity of reptiles to buffer oxidative challenges imposed by climate-driven changes in winter conditions.

Our results revealed differences between species in terms of thermoregulatory and water-loss dynamics: Timon lepidus showed higher foraging and basking activity, particularly in open rocky microhabitats. In contrast, Lacerta schreiberi relied more on shaded vegetated microhabitats and exhibited higher size-corrected evaporative water loss.  Leer más.
