Compilation of thermal physiology data under acclimatization in viviparous lizard Sceloporus bicanthalis

The increase in global temperatures threaten the persistence of viviparous lizard populations in habitats at high elevations. These isolated populations of mountain “mainland islands” exhibit wider temperature oscillations (Janzen’s hypothesis) that exceed thermal tolerance compared to populations at lower. We ask if broader thermal tolerance is beneficial for a species to cope with rising temperatures as predicted in future climate scenarios. We analyzed field and laboratory data under to acclimatization experiment.全球气温上升正威胁着高海拔栖息地内胎生蜥蜴（viviparous lizard）种群的存续。这些被称为山地"大陆岛"的孤立种群，相较于低海拔种群，展现出更宽的温度波动幅度（依据詹森假说（Janzen’s hypothesis）），且该波动幅度超出了其自身的热耐受范围。本研究旨在探究更宽泛的热耐受能力是否有助于物种应对未来气候情景下预测的气温上升。本研究基于驯化实验对野外与实验室数据展开了分析。
