Effects of air humidity and water availability on thermal preferences of a lizard26/02/2021
Thermoregulation is critical for ectotherms as it allows them to maintain their body temperature close to an optimum
Vers une extinction du Lézard vivipare dans les Landes ?02/02/2021
La question se pose alors même que nous célébrons demain la journée mondiale des zones humides : le Lézard vivipare (Zootoca vivipara louislantzi) serait-il menacé d’extinction dans le triangle landais ?
