Quantifying the cost of thermoregulation: thermal and energetic constraints on growth rates in hatchling lizards

1. The optimality model of thermoregulation predicts that as the cost of thermoregulation increases, thermoregulation effort will decrease. 2. We designed a manipulative experiment to quantify the energetic cost of thermoregulation on growth rates in eastern collared lizards (Crotaphytus collaris) b...
