Habitat preferences of the eastern fence lizard, Sceloporus undulatus, in southwestern Virginia
Habitat preference of the eastern fence lizard, Sceloporus undulatus, was investigated in southwestern Virginia. Habitat features were measured at 158 lizard-centered plots and at paired random plots. Landscape-level variables, southerly aspect and mixed forest type, distinguished lizard-centered …

Relationships Among Behavior, Body Temperature, Physiological State and Habitat Utilization in the Northern Fence Lizard Sceloporus Undulatus Hyacinthinus
… temperature was found to be the location of the lizard with respect to the heat source. Other significant, but moderate, predictors of body temperature were identity and sex of the lizard, time since dawn, and behavior.

Sublethal effects of an acetylcholinesterase-inhibiting pesticide on fitness-related traits in the western fence lizard (Sceloporous occidentalis)
… on several fitness-related traits in the western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis). Reptiles are the least studied vertebrate taxon in ecotoxicological studies even though contaminants are suspected in contributing to recent population declines. Using multiple dose concentrations within the …

The Thermal Ecology of Sceloporus occidentalis
… empirically. Most studies are based on captive lizards acclimated to laboratory conditions that do not necessarily reflect natural environments, and if thermal tolerance is plastic and affected by the recent thermal history of the animal, then the data may not be accurate. We tested the critical …
