- W852172600 abstract "The flat-tailed horned lizard (Phrynosoma mcallii) occupies a restricted range in the Lower Sonoran Desert of southwest Arizona, southeast California, and adjacent land in Mexico. Because they exhibit behavior patterns that include basking and remaining motionless when danger approaches, flat-tailed horned lizards are particularly susceptible to mortality on roads. Therefore, roads and new road construction are recognized as threats influencing the long-term persistence of this species. The propensity for flat-tailed horned lizards to use culverts as road crossing structures to avoid vehicle-caused mortality is unknown. From 2005-2006 we studied flat-tailed horned lizard use of a variety of simulated road crossing structures. The study objectives were to (1) determine if flat-tailed horned lizards will pass through culverts of sizes commonly used in road construction, and (2) compare and describe the characteristics of culverts used by flat-tailed horned lizards to those not used. We built a testing facility with six culverts of three dimensions and two interior lighting options. All culverts were 40 ft long; the three types included 24-in. diameter steel culverts, 36-in. diameter steel culverts, and 4-ft tall by 8-ft wide box culverts. One of each type of culvert was lit with skylights, and one of each type of culvert had only natural light from the ends. Light and temperature conditions in the culverts were evaluated during the study. Out of 54 flat-tailed horned lizards placed in the testing facility, we observed 12 complete crossings. The 36-in. diameter culvert without skylights was used five times. The 24-in. diameter culvert with skylights was not used, and other culvert designs were each used once or twice. Results indicated that flat-tailed horned lizards can use culverts as road crossing structures, but the evidence did not reveal a strong selection for or against any culvert type. Recommendations for employing appropriate road crossing structures are discussed." @default.
