Studies of thermoregulation in small iguanine lizards: feasibility of the use of remote laser sensing equipment to determine deep body temperatures of small lizards and thermoregulatory precision in the field

Many lizards maintain their body temperature within a fairly narrow range, despite spatial and temporal variation in microclimates. The ability to measure these temperatures is central to studying lizard physiology. Non-intrusive methods are preferred because they cause the least disruption to the a...
