It is predicted that climate change will cause species extinctions and distributional shifts in coming decades, but data to validate these predictions are relatively scarce. Here, we compare recent historical surveys for 48 Mexican lizard at 200 sites. Since 1975, 12% of local populations have gone extinct. We verified physiological models extinction risk with observed extended projections worldwide. estimate 4% extinct worldwide, by 2080 projected reach 39% may 20%. Global were validated...
We derived physiological models that accurately predicted extinctions of Mexican and other lizards. Clusella-Trullas Chown argue global forecasts are unreliable without incorporating variance in microenvironmental temperatures, T e . Here, we show is small relative to increases from climate warming. Thus, extinction reliable ( <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline" overflow="scroll"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mover accent="true"> <mml:mi>R</mml:mi>...
During climate change, species are often assumed to shift their geographic distributions (geographic ranges) in order track environmental conditions - niches which they adapted. Recent work, however, suggests that the do not always remain conserved during change but instead, allowing populations persist place or expand into new areas. We assessed extent of range and niche shifts response warming after Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) desert horned lizard (Phrynosoma platyrhinos), a occupying...
Abstract Viviparity, an innovation enhancing maternal control over developing embryos, has evolved >150 times in vertebrates, and been proposed as adaptation to inhabit cold habitats. Yet, the behavioral, physiological, morphological, life history features associated with live-bearing remain unclear. Here, we capitalize on repeated origins of viviparity phrynosomatid lizards tease apart phenotypic patterns this innovation. Using data from 125 species phylogenetic approaches, find that...
Reptiles in desert environments depend on habitat thermal quality to regulate their body temperature and perform biological activities. Understanding thermoregulation with respect is critical for accurate predictions of species responses climate change. We evaluated Goode’s horned lizard, Phrynosoma goodei , measured at the Reserva de la Biosfera El Pinacate y Gran Desierto Altar, Sonora, Mexico, during hottest season year. found that field-active averaged 38.1 ± 0.38°C, preferred laboratory...
We evaluated and compared the thermal quality for a lizard community (9 species) in Sierra del Ajusco andPedregal de San Ángel (central Mexico) along an altitudinal gradient (2 320-3 530 m) to determine whether differentthermal environments may be influencing species distribution thermoregulatory behavior. Six areas that differ inelevation vegetation type are chosen survey environmental operative temperatures. Habitat isestimated from mean deviation of temperatures lizards' selected range....
Mexico hosts an exceptional diversity of approximately 1 421 species amphibians and reptiles, many which are endemic to the country. However, Sinaloa region has remained largely unexplored due access challenges social conflicts. This study focuses on analyzing biodiversity reptiles in “El Mineral de Nuestra Señora la Candelaria” reserve Sinaloa, Mexico. reserve, located Sierra Madre Occidental, covers 256 hectares diverse habitats, including tropical deciduous sub-deciduous forests. Through...
Los reptiles nocturnos dependen de la calidad térmica del hábitat para regular efi cientemente su temperatura corporal y realizar sus actividades biológicas diurnas nocturnas.Previamente, se ha sugerido que los ectotermos mantienen estrategias diferentes termorregular entre el día noche.Por lo tanto, objetivos en este estudio fueron: (1) examinar las temperaturas corporales campo preferidas laboratorio lagartija nocturna Phyllodactylus bordai durante fotofase escotofase cuantifi car...
The Puyehue-Cordón Caulle eruption of 4 June 2011 dispersed about 100 million tonnes pyroclastic materials resulting in ash accumulations 30 cm depth on the Patagonian steppe, an area occupied by several lizard species. Herein we analysed, experimental trials, effects and slope running performance two endemic vulnerable species, Phymaturus excelsus sinervoi, restricted to volcanic rock outcrops Patagonia. We also determined effect fall body condition comparing same populations before after...
Se describen dos nuevos registros de la culebra cola larga mexicana (Enulius oligostichus) en Reserva Ecológica del Mineral Nuestra Señora Candelaria, Cosalá, Sinaloa. Hasta fecha, solo existía un registro Sinaloa, pero este trabajo, después 55 años, ratificamos presencia esta serpiente el estado, siendo los más norteños adyacentes a Durango.
Abstract Thermal constraints imposed by the environment limit activity time of ectotherms and have been a central issue in ecophysiology. Assessing these restrictions is key to determining vulnerability species changing thermal niches developing conservation strategies. We generate an explicit tortoise model at both micro macroclimate scales based on thermophysiology parameters environmental operative temperatures during biologically significant period. As study model, we use vulnerable...
We report the first record of twin-spotted rattlesnake (Crotalus pricei) in “Golden Triangule” region Sinaloa. Until now, there was only records Sonora, Chihuahua, and Durango, but this work, we confirm presence species state.
En esta revisión se resumen por primera vez los estudios publicados que documentan eventos de actividad nocturna en reptiles considerados exclusivamente como diurnos. Asimismo, describen y discuten sus implicaciones ecofisiológicas ambientes tropicales altas latitudes desde la perspectiva intervalos óptimos temperatura actividad, umbrales tolerancia, periodo catemeralidad, hipotermia voluntaria su importancia ante el cambio climático global. Finalmente, identifican aspectos aún no han sido...
Environmental temperature is an important factor that regulates activity and physiological processes ofectotherms. Because sympatric species are exposed to similar thermal niche conditions, closely related couldpresent requirements. This similarity may generate interspecific competition for optimal thermalspace. The ecology of the viviparous lizards Sceloporus lineolateralis S. poinsettii (Sceloporustorquatus groups, respectively) were studied in natural populations Peñón Blanco,Durango,...
El cambio climático global se considera una gran amenaza contra la biodiversidad, sin embargo, aún es incierto cómo afectará a diferentes grupos taxonómicos, pues respuesta dependerá de su historia natural y complejidad del hábitat. Así, los reptiles ambientes desérticos son particular preocupación porque deben termorregular dentro límites óptimos pesar las altas temperaturas ambientales. Este estudio enfocó en iguana desierto (Dipsosaurus dorsalis), lagartija termófila amplia distribución...
Abstract Environmental temperatures often regulate the activity and physiological processes of ectotherms. Because environmental can vary significantly among seasons, lizards exposed to different thermal conditions in months could differ how they thermoregulate or behave. Here, we present a combination field, laboratory, modeling approaches examine thermoregulation, habitat quality, hours restriction on saxicolous population Urosaurus ornatus two thermally contrasting (June October)...
