Thermal Selection In Sceloporus Occidentalis During Exercise Recovery, Morgan A. Halley Jan 2013

Thermal Selection In Sceloporus Occidentalis During Exercise Recovery, Morgan A. Halley

Scripps Senior Theses

Ectotherms regulate body temperature (Tb) primarily through behavioral interactions with their environment. These animals also have limited aerobic scopes and must rely on anaerobic metabolism to support intense activity; lactate byproduct and glycogen depletion are two consequences of anaerobic metabolism that must be dealt with during exercise recovery. It has been suggested that, in many ectothermic species, Tb may affect the rate of lactate clearance and glycogen repletion during recovery from intense exercise. This study investigated thermoregulatory behavior in Western Fence Lizards (Sceloporus occidentalis) to determine preferred Tb during exercise recovery. I hypothesized that …
