Adaptive Emergence Patterns of Spot‐Tailed Earless Lizards: Influence of UV Light and Temperature on Diel Activity

Adaptive Emergence Patterns of Spot‐Tailed Earless Lizards: Influence of UV Light and Temperature on Diel Activity

ABSTRACT We examined the emergence behavior of spot‐tailed earless lizards (STEL; Holbrookia lacerata and H. subcaudalis). Using controlled laboratory and seminatural experiments, we evaluated the effects of UV light, visible light, temperature, and prey activity on STEL emergence timing. Our result...
