Abstract
:
1. The standard metabolic rate (SMR) of Acanthodactylus boskianus was determined at 20, 25, 30 and 35 degrees C during winter and summer acclimatization, using constant pressure manometric respirometers. 2. Values for the exponent b of body mass in relation to metabolic rate ranged from 0.50 to 0.63. 3. Winter-acclimatized lizards of various body sizes had significantly higher Sh?Rs than summer-acclimatized lizards at tested temperatures. 4. The seasonal differences in metabolic rate may represent a useful adaptation, enabling A. boskianus to maintain activity during the moderate winter, and to conserve energy and possibly also water during the hot summer.
