Data from Physiological traits explain the structuring of a squamate assemblage along an elevational gradient

This data set comprises field and laboratory measurements of ecophysiological traits from a community of squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes) in the Sierra de Manantlán Biosphere Reserve, Mexico. The data are organized into four separate sheets: Field: Contains field measurements. Gradient: Contains selected temperatures recorded from a thermal gradient. Water: Contains mass-specific evaporative water loss rates. Tolerances: Contains thermal tolerance data. Abbreviations: Contains the abbreviations and definitions used in the data set.本数据集涵盖墨西哥马兰特拉山脉生物圈保护区（Sierra de Manantlán Biosphere Reserve）内有鳞类爬行动物（squamate reptiles，含蜥蜴与蛇类）群落的生理生态性状野外与实验室测定数据。数据集共设四个独立工作表： Field：收录野外实测数据。 Gradient：收录从温度梯度装置中记录的选定温度数据。 Water：收录单位体重蒸发失水速率数据。 Tolerances：收录热耐受性测定数据。 Abbreviations：收录本数据集所用的缩写词及其定义。
