Are viviparous lizards more vulnerable to climate warming because they have evolved reduced body temperature and heat tolerance?

Oecologia - 1 Dec 2017

Wang Zheng, Ma Li, Shao Min, Ji Xiang

Abstract excerpt

Lizards may experience population declines and extinctions on a similar scale to that experienced by amphibians, and climate warming is one hypothesis proposed to explain these declines and extinctions. Within lizards, viviparous species are hypothesized to be more vulnerable to climate warming, because they have evolved reduced body temperature and heat tolerance, but this idea remains untested. To test this...
