Broeckhoven C, le Fras Nortier Mouton P · PloS one · 2015-09 · open access
It is generally assumed that favourable weather conditions determine the activity levels of lizards, because of their temperature-dependent behavioural performance. Inactivity, however, might have a selective advantage over activity, as it could increase survival by reducing exposure to predators.…
