O_elegans_termal_data

Results of the thermal biology investigations of the snake eyed lizard Ophisops elegans.

Location: Beytepe Campus, Ankara, Turkey

Field recorded thermal data
Columns:
Tb: Body temperature of lizards measured from the cloak with Fluke 54/II thermometer with a t type thermocouple.
SVL: Snout vent length (mm) measured with a digital caliper
Sol: Solar radiation (w/m2) measured with an apogee mp2 pyranometer
Subst: Type of substrate where the lizard is captured.
Mass: Body mass (g) of lizards measured with a scale
Wind: Wind speed (m/s) measured with an UNI-T anemometer thermometer.
Ts: Substrate temperature (celsius) measured with the same Fluke 54/II thermometer with a t type thermocouple.
Ta: Air temperature measured measured from the location at 1.5m height measured with an UNI-T anemometer thermometer.

Temperature preference data:
Columns
Mass Start: Mass of the lizard at the start of experiment
SVL: Snout vent length (mm) measured with a digital caliper
Sex: Sex of the measured lizard
D1 - D8: Measured temperature (in celsius) of the lizard in the gradient with 15 minute intervals
Mass Finish: Mass of the lizard at the end of the gradient experiment
