Environmental causes of between-population difference in growth rate of a high-altitude lizard

Environmental causes of between-population difference in growth rate of a high-altitude lizard

Abstract Background Ectothermic animals living in cold (high latitude or high elevation) regions are predicted to grow slower due to limited thermal opportunities for activity and food resources than those living in warm regions. However, the Qinghai toad-headed lizards (Phrynocephalus vlangalii) gr...
