Specimens of this day-active lizard species were shown to possess an endogenous circadian rhythm of activity and rest, which is synchronized both by light-dark cycles and by regularly fluctuating temperatures. In continuous light at a constant temperature (31°C), the rhythm free-runs somewhat imprecisely, with a period of about 22.5 h as is to be expected in a diurnal animal, according to the “circadian rule”;. The ecological significance of the mode of rhythm synchronization is discussed. |
