Fig. 1 in Temperature-based activity estimation accurately predicts surface activity, but not microhabitat use, in the Endangered heliothermic lizard Gambelia sila
Fig. 1. Methodology used to predict morning emergence time of Gambelia sila. Emergence was predicted as the time of day immediately preceding a distinct upward slope in the lizard's T b (triangles and dotted line) based on the assumption that it would take several minutes for the radio transmitter to heat in the sun. The rising Tb was also typically associated with the departure from the burrow physical model temperatures (diamonds and long-dashed line) and the approach of the open (sun) physical model temperatures (squares and short-dashed line). In each case, the predicted time was then compared to the observed emergence time when the lizard's head first appeared outside its burrow. The average difference between observed and predicted emergence times was 11 minutes and 37 seconds.
Fig. 4 in Temperature-based activity estimation accurately predicts surface activity, but not microhabitat use, in the Endangered heliothermic lizard Gambelia sila
Fig. 4. Proportions of correctly predicted observations of microhabitat use of Gambelia sila using temperature-based activity estimation based on physical model temperatures. Lizard microhabitat use was predicted correctly most often when they were in the open, but overall microhabitat use was not accurately predicted with TBAE in this heliothermic lizard.
Fig. 3 in Temperature-based activity estimation accurately predicts surface activity, but not microhabitat use, in the Endangered heliothermic lizard Gambelia sila
Fig. 3. Temperature-based activity estimation resulted in accurate prediction of above-ground activity by Gambelia sila more often than accurate prediction of below-ground (burrow) occupation. Using air temperature (T air) was superior to using physical model temperatures when predicting below-ground occupation. For both methods, ~93% of observations predicted to be above ground were correct, whereas 62% (using T air) and 51% (using physical models) were correct for below-ground predictions.
Fig. 2 in Temperature-based activity estimation accurately predicts surface activity, but not microhabitat use, in the Endangered heliothermic lizard Gambelia sila
Fig. 2. Proportions of correct predictions using air temperature to predict surface activity versus below-ground refuge use of Gambelia sila. This method resulted in accurate predictions 64–76% of the time among the various temperature differentials shown on the x-axis. Predictions were maximized (76% correct) using the criterion that lizards are above ground when their body temperatures (T b) are at least 6 °C above the air temperature (T ).

Microhabitat use in a stream fish assemblage
We quantified microhabitat use by members of a southern Appalachian stream fish assemblage over a ten-year period that included both floods and droughts. Our study site (37 m in length) encompassed riffle, run and pool habitats. Previous research indicated that species belonged to either benthic or water-column microhabitat guilds. We examined microhabitat use among fishes in a 37 m section of Coweeta Creek, NC., over a ten-year period (1983-1992) that included both floods and droughts. Multivariate comparison using Principal Component analysis of fish use data was contrasted with habitat availability.
Data from: Thermal tolerance and the importance of microhabitats for Andean frogs in the context of land-use and climate change
<p><span>1. Global warming is having impacts across the Tree of Life. Understanding species' physiological sensitivity to temperature change and how they relate to local temperature variation in their habitats is crucial to determining vulnerability to global warming. </span></p> <p><span>2. We ask how species' vulnerability varies across habitats and elevations, and how climatically-buffered microhabitats can contribute to reduce their vulnerability. </span></p> <p><span>3. We measured thermal sensitivity (critical thermal maximum – CT<sub>max</sub>) of 14 species of <i>Pristimantis</i> frogs inhabiting young and old secondary, and primary forests in the Colombian Andes. Exposure to temperature stress was measured by recording temperature in the understory and across five microhabitats. We determined the frogs' current vulnerability across habitats, elevations and microhabitats accounting for phylogeny and then ask how vulnerability varies under four warming scenarios: +1.5⁰C, +2⁰C, +3⁰C and +5⁰C. </span></p> <p>4. We found that CT<sub>max</sub> was constant across species regardless of habitat and elevation. However, species in young secondary forests are expected to become more vulnerable because of increased exposure to higher temperatures. Microhabitat variation could enable species to persist within their thermal temperature range as long as regional temperatures do not surpass +2°C. The effectiveness of microhabitat buffering decreases with a 2-3°C increase, and is almost null under a 5°C temperature increase.</p> <p><span>5. Microhabitats will provide thermal protection to Andean frog communities from climate change by enabling tracking of suitable climates through short distance movement. Conservation strategies, such as managing landscapes by preserving primary forests and allowing regrowth and re-connection of secondary forest would offer thermally buffered microhabitats and aid in the survival of this group. </span></p>
Data from: Background matching, disruptive coloration and differential use of microhabitats in two neotropical grasshoppers with sexual dichromatism
<div class="a3s aXjCH msg-1980557116638596178"> <div> <div class="m_-1980557116638596178WordSection1"> <p>Cryptic coloration is an adaptative defensive mechanism against predators. Color patterns can become cryptic through background coloration-matching and disruptive coloration. Disruptive coloration may evolve in visually heterogeneous microhabitats, whereas background matching could be favored in chromatically homogeneous microhabitats. In this work, we used digital photography to explore the potential use of disruptive coloration and background matching in males and females of two grasshopper species of the <i>Sphenarium </i>genus in different habitats. We found chromatic differences in the two grasshopper species that may be explained by local adaptation. We also found that the females and males of both species are dichromatic and seem to follow different color cryptic strategies, males are more disruptive than females, whereas females have a high background matching with less disruptive elements. The selective pressures of the predators in different microhabitats and the differences in mobility between sexes may explain the color pattern divergence between females and males. Nevertheless, more field experiments are needed in order to understand the relative importance of disruptive and background matching coloration in the evolution of sexual dichromatism in these grasshoppers.</p> </div> </div> </div>
