This species used rock boulders (57,4%) and trees (31,9%) as microhabitats primarily, exhibiting a nocturnal activity pattern, with a peak between 2100-2200 hours, remaining active until midnight. Body temperature (mean 24,4 ºC) was correlated with both air and substrate temperature, with the last variable affecting in higher degree (47%) the body temperature of this species. The slightly high body temperature of Phyllodactylus reissi, compared to other Phyllodactylus geckos, could be related to nocturnal microhabitat use and diurnal retreat site selection. More studies on lizard ecology from this endangered ecosystem are needed. 2011 artículo científico 1561-0837 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=195022441018 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1950 Revista Peruana de Biología application/pdf Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos Revista Peruana de Biología (Perú) Num.3 Vol.18 |
