Thermoregulation mode, substrate temperature and camouflage efficiency affecting defensive behavior of lizards in Amazonia
ABSTRACT In ectotherms, defensive responses to predators usually depend on cost-benefit relationships between death risk and the energy required to flee. In this study we investigate Amazonian lizards to test the hypothesis that the minimum predator approach distance (PAD) is influenced by temperatu...
