Abstract | The environmental temperature, oxygen consumption, diel activity, and critical thermal minimum in Uta stansburiana, was studied to estimate the yearly energy requirements for a population of this lizard. There was no significant difference between the critical thermal minimum of lizards acclimated at 15-25 degrees C and 25-35 degrees C. However, a significant difference (P |
