- W2364491856 abstract "Adult males of Eremias argus initially having intact tails were collected from three geographically separated populations(the Chang’an population in Shaanxi, the Gonghe population in Qinghai, and the Harbin population in Heilongjiang) between April and June 2006 to examine the effects of caudal autotomy on selected body temperature, surface activity(the number of individuals thermoregulating on the surface) and food intake. Lizards from each of the three populations were equally divided into experimental and control groups. We removed the tail 10 mm from the vent from each experimental lizard, thereby producing tailless lizards. Experimental and control lizards were maintained under identical laboratory conditions for four weeks to allow the accumulation of sufficient data. Surface activities differed among lizards from different populations, primarily as the consequence of long-term adaptation to local thermal environments. Reduced surface activities in tailless lizards were found in all the three populations, suggesting that E.argus is among lizard species where tail loss may modify activities. The temporal patterns of surface activity did not differ between experimental and control lizards within each of the three populations and among lizards from different populations, suggesting that there is a species-specific activity pattern in E.argus, and that the pattern is unaffected by tail loss. Selected body temperature increases with increase in latitude in E.argus, and this trend should be attributable to the constraints imposed by the thermal environment. Tailless lizards selected lower body temperatures than did tailed lizards in all three populations, suggesting that E.argus is among lizard species where tail loss may modify the set-point of thermoregulation. Food intake differed among lizards from different populations, with lizards from the Chang’an population ingesting significantly more food than those from the Gonghe population. In all three populations, increased energy demands associated with tail regeneration did not result in increment of food intake in tailless lizards. This finding suggests that increasing food intake is not a strategy adopted by tailless E.argus to compensate for the energetic costs of tail loss." @default.
