Run to shelter or bury into the sand? : Factors affecting escape behaviour decisions in Argentinian sand dune lizards (Liolaemus multimaculatus)

Mostrar todas las versiones(2)

The goal of this study was to assess the main factors affecting escape strategies (escaping or sand burying) in sand dune lizards (Liolaemus multimaculatus). We recorded body size, substrate temperature, approach distance and shelter distance in the field, and performed an enclosure experiment to te...
