effect of constant temperatures , darkness and light on the secretion of melatonin by pineal explants and retinas in the gecko christinus marmoratus . - pubmed - ncbi
the species was first described by john edward gray in 1845 . [ 2 ] [ 3 ] the name he gave placed this group in the genus diplodactylus as diplodactylus marmoratus . boulenger later gave it to phyllodactylus , a genus whose name means
leaf - fingered
. their names are now given as authorities for two recognised subspecies : [ 3 ] christinus marmoratus marmoratus ( gray 1845 ) and christinus marmoratus macrodactylus ( boulenger 1885 ) . a revision by wells and wellington gives phyllodactylus marmoratus as a synonym for this species . [ 4 ]
christinus marmoratus will feed on a variety of foods such as meal worms , waxworms , silkworms and crickets . they also feed on a variety of mushed fruits .
the project was conducted from march - october 2008 in ferguson conservation park . the aims of the project were 1 ) to determine the population structure estimating the population size and calculating the sex ratio of christinus marmoratus , 2 ) to record movements of individual geckos by recording how much movement occurs during march to october , and if males , females and juveniles move differently , 3 ) to determine whether geckos form aggregations related to sex or size , and 4 ) to identify the eucalypt micro - habitat retreat sites used by christinus marmoratus and determine whether they differ in bark type and height among juveniles , adult males and adult females .

the effects of temperature and lighting conditions on the secretion of melatonin by the pineal organ of the nocturnal gecko christinus marmoratus was studied using in vitro perifusion . in a 12l : 12d lighting regime , a high - amplitude melatonin rhythm was detectable at a constant temperature of 20 and 30 degrees c but not at 10 or 37 degrees c . there were sustained high levels of melatonin in constant darkness and sustained low levels in constant light . no retinal melatonin was detected using static and perifusion culture techniques . these results show that the pineal organ of c . marmoratus maintains light sensitivity in vitro but does not contain an oscillator coupled to the melatonin synthetic pathway .

as far as i know , marbled geckos are the only geckos found as far south in victoria as melbourne . they ' re rarely seen , not because they ' re rare but because they ' re nocturnal and spend their days hidden under the bark of eucalypts . they seek out dark places to hide , and even when in plain sight their incredible camouflage makes them almost invisible . so they ' re more likely to be found in or under moveable objects around a house , such as inside letterboxes , or in this case under a planter box . they ' re very timid and have a tendency to drop their tails when stressed , so it ' s best to leave them alone as much as possible .
common in semi - arid country of southern mainland australia from melbourne to perth .
found in a variety of woodland habitats and well adapted to urbanisation ( they may appear around dwellings ) .
these lizards have a mottled appearance all - over , including the eys , and grow to about 8cm long .
like most ( if not all ) geckos , they are nocturnal and can only be found during the day in their hidouts , such as under rocks . in these retreats they often congregate in small groups . they hunt at night for insects and other small arthropods .

body flattened and often with orange specks on the tail . toes and fingers with large pads . up to 7 cm long ( snout - vent ) .
marbled geckos are an arboreal species and hides under the bark of trees , fallen timber or logs during the day . at night they are often seen around external lights where they hunt insects attracted to the light . marbled geckos mate in late summer to early autumn . the females retain sperm over winter until fertilisation , which occurs in the late spring to early summer . they produce one clutch annually , containing two eggs . marbled geckos are common in melbourne , but may have moved here after white settlement due to the transport of granite rocks from its natural habitats .

the relationship between the old and the current - cavs 8 . 1 update : 03 - jun - 94
a funny thing happened to me this morning ; my dad told me to clean my room because it was supposedly turning into a complete pigsty , so i said yes and i began tearing the room apart trying to sort things out when i overturned this old folder of mine that had been sitting in the same spot ever since i finished school about 4 months ago when a little black gecko just shot out from underneath it . anyhow , i was going to let him go back into the wild ( and by the wild i mean
this time , not back into my bedroom ) but when i picked him up i found he was really quite tame and he didn ' t seem panicked or worried or anything . anyhow , when my brother got home he played with him for a while too and the same thing - he ' s just so tame . so then , as we used to have some tarantulas and some turtles and things , and we had pretty much all the required equipment already , i decided to keep him . he ' s sitting next to me right now , i ' ve called him bronson . though i don ' t know the first thing about geckos , so i don ' t even know whether he ' s a boy or a girl .
which is really why i ' m posting this unnecessarily long post , because i really need somebody to explain to me how exactly to take care of this little guy . i ' ve already got him in a little tank with no big holes , lots of things to hide under , some water in a little tray and i bought him some small crickets from the local pet shop but that ' s about all i ' ve been able to gather from the limited amount of information that ' s available from a google search .
please help me , i ' ve really grown quite fond of little bronson and i don ' t want to inadvertently do him any harm .
thank you so much ( and thanks for having the patience to read such a long message . . )
could somebody help me out with this guy please ? i think i might take him to the pet shop on the weekend anyway and see if i can get some more information there , but please , any advise helps . . .
i have not owned this gecko myself , but i have done a bit of reading about them for a friend . i found the following helpful . marbled gecko care sheet geckos - care sheets information about marbled gecko lizards geckos , characteristics and sexing , description of diet , diet - omnivorous , supplements , nutrition and usage - calcium and vitamins , lighting and uvb , tempatures and humidity , caging , substrate gecko
i have 2 very awesome southern marbled geckos and 1 thing i know the most about this gecko is that they can climb through 1 / 2 centimetre gaps ( 5 milemetres ) they also have sticky pads and can climb up walls even glass . they also need some gecko calcium from the pet store and dust the crickets with the calcium they are also very afraid of light so no heat lights or anything is needed dont forget to give them lots air through a fly screen or mesh i hope this helped
i recommend a phosphorous - free calcium with d3 for your new friend bronson . i like the rep - cal brand . just lightly dust his crickets occasionally . have you any idea of his age ? how long is he head to tail tip ?
if you can hear crickets , it ' s still summer .

may the peace that you find at the beach follow you home

a 10 cm long gecko it has a tan - olive base complexion , sometimes with black or white blotches with laminae and toes that spread out for grasping onto slippery and soft surfaces . it is insectivorous by nature but its main diet consists of anything small enough to fit in its mouth . scales on top are different than those at the basal part , those on the top being juxtaposed and those at the base imbricate . females usually lay two brittle - shelled eggs at a time , but share nests with other females . up to forty eggs can be found in one nest .
the populations described by this species , and its related taxa , have been given variations on the common name marbled gecko , a reference to their marbled appearance , including western marbled gecko and southern marbled gecko .

like many other lizards , urban expansion into previous habitat areas is of concern to the regional populations of this lizard . however , the lizard ' s ability to live in suburban areas with suitable rocky habitat means that the marbled gecko has a chance of adaptation .
marbled geckos will inhabit rocky gardens that adjoin bushland or rocky areas . creating rockeries or leaving rocky areas undisturbed may encourage the species , or other lizards , to take up residence in urban gardens which are close to nature reserves .
the marbled gecko is pale grey or brown above with a mix of dark patterned markings , creating an effect resembling marble . they are white or pale underneath . the gecko can grow to a little over 10cm including tail .
the variegated dtella ( gehyra variegata ) has a similar general appearance , but has a more depressed body . the marbled gecko will tend to be found in cooler and wetter areas than the variegated dtella .
the marbled gecko has a range which extends from central nsw , through western victoria and south australia , to the south - east of wa . not present in the north of australia or tasmania . marbled geckos occupy the wooded and rocky areas of the act , including the gardens of suburban canberra .
the marbled gecko is not a threatened species in the act , and may be kept by highly experienced herpetologists ( see reptile policy ) .
the marbled gecko population of urban canberra is thought to be stable , although no quantitative analysis has been conducted .
lack of suitable habitat is the greatest limiting factor for marbled geckos around the canberra region .
mating of marbled geckos can occur months prior to ovulation , with the female storing sperm in her body until fertilisation . the lizard then lays two brittle - shelled eggs early in spring . this gecko often nests communally with many others of its species . these nests can contain up to 30 eggs , and are located on the ground , often under rocks .
the marbled gecko is arboreal and mostly nocturnal . the marbled gecko may sun itself on rocks during the day but can get sufficient warmth by selecting a cosy sheltered site .
the marbled gecko feeds on small insects such as flies and crickets , and other invertebrates .
cats will sometimes prey on small lizards such as the marbled gecko , especially if left to roam free at night when the geckos come out to feed .
the underbelly can be so clear in colour that some internal organs can be visible .
the tail of the marbled gecko is an energy store , which is used when the lizards hibernate .
geckos lose can lose their tails when threatened . they can run twice as fast when tailless .

predation is a powerful force that has shaped the behavior of prey . in response to predator cues , many prey species modify their behavior to reduce their risk of encountering predators or to increase their chances of surviving such encounters ( endler 1986 ; lima 1998 ) . most experimental work on this topic has focused on responses of prey to single predator species ( lima and dill 1990 ) . however , in nature , most prey species occur with multiple predators ( andrewartha 1961 ; sih et al . 1998 ) . because prey can show generalized or species - specific responses to single predators , their responses to multiple predators cannot always be predicted from experiments involving a single predator species ( sih et al . 1998 ; mcintosh and peckarsky 1999 ) . for example , in the presence of green sunfish ( lepomis cyanellus ) , male water striders ( aquarius remigis ) shifted their microhabitat use to riffles and pool edges , but in the presence of fishing spiders ( dolomedes vittatus ) , the water striders avoided pool edges . in the presence of both predators , water striders used a generalized response and reduced the time spent active or searching for mates , thereby minimizing their risk of predation ( krupa and sih 1998 ) . knowledge of prey responses to the relative salience of cues from multiple predators , therefore , may clarify predator–prey dynamics ( sih et al . 1998 ; mcintosh and peckarsky 1999 ) .
the velvet gecko inhabits sandstone rock outcrops in eastern australia and is sympatric with the small - eyed snake throughout much of its geographic range ( cogger 2000 ) . the broad - headed snake occurs within 200 km of sydney , nsw , and is sympatric with both small - eyed snakes and velvet geckos ( cogger 2000 ) . small - eyed snakes feed mostly on sleeping skinks ( shine 1984 ) , whereas juvenile broad - headed snakes feed on velvet geckos ( 70 % of the numerical diet ) and other lizards ( webb and shine 1998a ) . in morton national park , all 3 species are syntopic , and during the cooler months , both predators and prey thermoregulate inside crevices or underneath rocks on sandstone escarpments ( webb and shine 1998c ) .
we offered velvet geckos the choice between 2 structurally identical crevices that differed with respect to chemical and thermal cues . in the first experiment , we offered 14 geckos the choice between a cold retreat site scented by a small - eyed snake and a cold unscented control . a previous study found that velvet geckos did not avoid small - eyed snake - scented refuges ( downes and shine 1998 ) , so we predicted equal usage of both sites . in the second experiment , we offered geckos the choice between a cold unscented crevice and a hot crevice scented by either a broad - headed snake ( n = 16 ) or a small - eyed snake ( n = 16 ) . in the third experiment , we offered geckos ( n = 13 ) the choice between a hot retreat site scented by a small - eyed snake and a hot retreat site scented by a broad - headed snake . each gecko was tested once , except for 2 males and 6 females that were used in 2 different experiments .
ten small - eyed snakes and 13 broad - headed snakes were used as scent donors . to create a snake - scented crevice , we placed 2 clean concrete paving stones ( 230 × 180 × 40 mm ) on top of each other , with a horizontal crevice between them ( matched to suit snake body size ) inside the donor snake ' s cage for 24 h . once the snakes had crawled into their crevices , the automated heating racks were either switched off ( experiment 1 ) or left on ( experiments 2 and 3 ) . thermal regimes of hot and cold crevices were recorded by placing miniature data loggers ( thermochron ibuttons , dallas , tx ) under pavers . temperatures in the warm snake - scented crevice were 24 . 5 °c at dusk when the trials commenced , and thereafter , they slowly cooled to room temperature ( 17 . 0 °c ) . in the morning , a 40 - watt light globe positioned above the hot retreat site switched on , creating a hot retreat site which reached 29 °c at midday . by contrast , temperatures under the cold rock ranged from 17 . 0 °c ( 0900 h ) to 21 . 4 °c ( 1200 h ) . thermal profiles of hot retreat sites were similar to those of natural sun - exposed rocks at our field sites during spring ( webb and shine 1998c ) .
all experiments were carried out inside a controlled temperature room maintained at 18 °c ( range 17−19 °c ) . the lights in the room were programmed to match the natural photoperiod , and they switched on and off gradually to simulate dawn and dusk . test arenas consisted of 8 white plastic tubs ( 60 × 40 × 40 cm high , with ventilation holes ) fitted with clear perspex lids . for each trial , we placed 2 structurally identical retreat sites at either end of the test arenas . each retreat site consisted of 2 concrete paving stones ( 230 × 180 × 40 mm thick ) placed one on top of the other , with a 6 - mm crevice between them . new paving stones were used in all trials to avoid the possibility of scent contamination from previous experiments . in experiments involving temperature , a 40 - watt light bulb was suspended above each retreat site , but only the bulb above the hot site switched on the next morning ( at 0930 h ) , whereas the bulb above the cold site did not . approximately 30 min before the experiments commenced , we removed the snake - scented retreat site from the snake ' s cage , created a 6 - mm crevice between the stones ( using four steel nuts ) , and placed the retreat site at one end of the test arena . for all experiments , we randomly assigned retreat sites to either end of the test arenas to avoid problems that might arise if geckos consistently crawled in the same direction after entering the test arenas .
ten minutes before dusk , we placed each gecko inside a plastic holding box ( 20 × 10 × 10 cm high , with ventilation holes ) with a 3 - cm plastic pipe ( 30 mm diameter ) attached to one corner . we placed a plastic endcap over the plastic pipe to prevent geckos from leaving the holding box prematurely . at dusk , we attached the holding box to a 30 - mm entry hole positioned in the middle of the test arena . the following morning , we held a mirror beside each retreat site and noted each gecko ' s final choice of diurnal retreat site . in trials involving temperature , we noted the gecko ' s choice of retreat site at 0900 h , before the light bulb switched on , and at midday , after the hot snake - scented rock had heated up . after each trial , all plastic tubs and lids were scrubbed with detergent and hot water , soaked for 20 min in bleach solution , thoroughly rinsed with freshwater , and dried with clean paper toweling before they were reused .
in nature , velvet geckos select rocks similar in size to those used by broad - headed snakes and small - eyed snakes ( shine et al . 1998 ; webb and shine 1998c ) . at our study sites , thermally suitable rocks are a limiting resource ( pringle et al . 2003 ) ; hence , velvet geckos may have to choose between using cold rocks or hot rocks scented by predatory snakes . if velvet geckos show threat - sensitive responses to snake chemicals , they may use rocks scented by small - eyed snakes but should avoid rocks scented by broad - headed snakes ( downes and shine 1998 ) . because substrate - deposited snake chemicals can be detected by squamates for several weeks ( crews and garstka 1982 ) , we can test this prediction by comparing gecko usage of rocks previously used by small - eyed snakes and broad - headed snakes .
we analyzed data on rock usage by geckos and syntopic snake predators from field studies on 2 plateaux in morton national park , 160 km south of sydney , nsw . the first study was carried out at 3 study sites on the western escarpment of a sandstone plateau ( yn ) of 400 - m elevation ( webb et al . 2009b ) . from august 1992 to november 1995 one of us ( j . k . w . ) quantified rock usage by geckos and snakes by turning all rocks in exposed locations at least once each fortnight . any snakes or velvet geckos sheltering underneath rocks were captured , measured , and permanently marked . each rock used by a reptile was measured and given a unique number ( with a paint pen ) , and its location was recorded on maps of the study sites . from 1996 onward , we surveyed all sites at least once each year , usually during spring . we turned all rocks and hand captured any snakes and processed them as described above and recorded whether any geckos were sheltering under rocks with snakes . the second study was carried out on a second plateau ( mg ) 3 km east of the yn plateau . each month , from may 2007 to march 2009 inclusive , one of us ( d . a . p . ) turned all rocks on 75 experimental plots ( each ∼100 m 2 in area ) . all reptiles found under rocks were captured and processed as described above , and rocks were numbered , measured , and their locations recorded with a gps . the vegetation on this plateau is similar to the yn plateau , but surrounding trees on 25 of the experimental plots had been removed as part of a manipulated landscape experiment .
when offered the choice between 2 cold retreat sites ( one unscented and one snake scented ) , all velvet geckos avoided the retreat site containing the scent of a small - eyed snake ( g = 11 . 50 , p < 0 . 001 ) . when offered the choice between a hot snake - scented crevice and a cold unscented crevice , most geckos used the cold unscented crevice as their diurnal retreat site regardless of whether the scent came from a small - eyed snake or a broad - headed snake ( figure 1 ; vs small - eyed snake , g = 5 . 51 , p = 0 . 02 ; vs broad - headed snake , g = 13 . 81 , p < 0 . 001 ) . at midday , none of the geckos using the cold unscented crevice had moved to the adjacent hot snake - scented crevice . when offered the choice between 2 hot crevices ( one scented by a small - eyed snake and one scented by a broad - headed snake ) , most geckos avoided the snake - scented retreat sites ( g = 19 . 15 , p < 0 . 0001 ) and instead spent the following day in an exposed position on the walls of the arena , well away from either shelter ( figure 2 ) .
when offered the choice between a hot snake - scented crevice and a cold unscented crevice , most velvet geckos selected the cold unscented crevice as their diurnal retreat site . geckos avoided the hot crevice when it contained chemical cues from the ambush foraging broad - headed snake hoplocephalus bungaroides ( open bars ) and the active foraging small - eyed snake cryptophis nigrescens ( filled bars ) .
when offered a choice between 2 diurnal retreat sites containing chemical cues from the active foraging small - eyed snake cryptophis nigrescens and the ambush foraging broad - headed snake hoplocephalus bungaroides ) , most velvet geckos ( oedura lesueurii ) refused to use either retreat site and , instead , spent the following day exposed on the wall of the enclosure .
during our field studies , we identified 168 and 70 rocks used by predatory snakes on the yn plateau and mg plateau , respectively . to see if velvet geckos avoid rocks containing chemical cues of the dangerous snake species but not the less dangerous one ( as suggested by downes and shine 1998 , but contrary to our laboratory results above ) , we calculated the proportion of rocks used by broad - headed snakes and small - eyed snakes that were subsequently used by velvet geckos . on both plateaux , geckos did not selectively avoid rocks previously used by broad - headed snakes compared with those previously used by small - eyed snakes ( yn : 39 vs . 24 % , g = 3 . 28 , p = 0 . 07 ; mg : 60 vs . 36 % , g = 2 . 68 , p = 0 . 10 ) .
because substrate - deposited snake chemicals are long lasting ( crews and garstka 1982 ) , we expect that geckos will avoid using rocks recently vacated by snakes ( i . e . , that contain detectable snake scent ) . if geckos perceive both snake species as equally dangerous , they should avoid rocks scented by broad - headed snakes and small - eyed snakes for similar periods of time . to test this prediction , we compared the time period between vacation of the rock by a snake and its subsequent occupancy by a gecko . the duration between usage of a rock by a snake and subsequent usage by a velvet gecko did not differ between snake species ( f 1 , 52 = 0 . 13 , p = 0 . 72 ) nor between plateaux ( f 1 , 52 = 0 . 04 , p = 0 . 84 ; interaction f 1 , 52 = 1 . 42 , p = 0 . 24 ) . on both plateaux , velvet geckos did not use most “snake” rocks until several months after the snakes had vacated the rocks , irrespective of the degree of threat posed by the snake ( figure 3 ) .
in the field , velvet geckos occasionally used thermally suitable rocks previously used by snake predators , but the mean time interval between snake usage of the rock and subsequent usage by a gecko did not differ between 2 snake species posing high versus low danger to the geckos . this pattern was exhibited by geckos on both the yn and mg plateaux .
in our laboratory trials , adult velvet geckos avoided retreat sites scented by 2 species of predatory snake . importantly , the lizard ' s avoidance of predator odors was independent of thermal costs or the degree of danger posed by the predator . thus , lizards forfeited thermoregulation in the presence of chemicals from both the dangerous broad - headed snake and the less dangerous small - eyed snake . although inconsistent with earlier work on the same study system ( downes and shine 1998 ) , the current result is consistent with a previous study on european common lizards ( lacerta vivipara ) , which found that juveniles avoided basking in the presence of chemical cues from both sympatric and allopatric snake predators ( van damme et al . 1995 ) . in the absence of other cues , velvet geckos avoided rocks scented by both snake species , suggesting that they show general rather than species - specific responses to snake odors ( webb et al . 2009a ) . such generalized responses to multiple predators can be maintained , even if some predators are rarely encountered , provided that the costs of responding to each predator are equivalent ( blumstein 2006 ) .

. . . no obstante , algunas lagartijas pueden reducir la variación de sus temperaturas corporales compensando las restricciones impuestas por las condiciones ambientales de los gradientes de elevación por medio de cambios en el tiempo asignado a la termorregulación , modificando su efectividad . esto es , especialmente importante si consideramos que una actividad a temperaturas letales o sub - óptimas , afectarían el desempeño y la ganancia energética de sus actividades ( gvozdík , 2002 , blouin - demers y nadeau , 2005 aguado y braña 2014 ) . dada la importancia de la termorregulación en la supervivencia y reproducción de las lagartijas , es de extrañar el limitado conocimiento de de la biología térmica de las poblaciones que habitan en regiones geográficas térmicamente desafiantes como las montañas de los andes . . . .
. . . however , this apparent absence of physiological adjustments is not necessarily equivalent to an incapability of lizards to acclimatize . other mechanisms , such as changes in thermoregulatory behaviour and adjusted daily activity time , are known to be effective ( gvozdik , 2002 ) and might be preferential to physiological acclimatization under natural circumstances ( gunderson and stillman , 2015 ) . thermal constraints through high ambient temperature and the effect of climate warming have often been studied ( deutsch et al . , 2008 ; huey et al . , 2009 ; kearney et al . , 2009 ; sinervo et al . , 2010 ) . . . .
. . . the common lizard zootoca vivipara , lacertidae has an euro siberian distribution that reaches the polar circle ( gasc et al . , 1997 ) . the cold adaptations of this viviparous species have attracted considerable interest ( gvozd ık , 2002 ; herczeg et al . , 2003 ) . zootoca vivipara continues to thermoregulate actively at high latitude because thermal conditions under cover are too cold and would not permit persistence ( herczeg et al . , 2003 ) . . . .
. . . cold climates are particularly challenging for ectothermic animals because thermal conditions constrain physiological performance and activity ( gvozd ık , 2002 ; lourdais et al . , 2013 ) . only a few specialized species can exploit high latitude or available > tset . . .
. . . empirical evidence supports the notion that active thermoregulation is prevalent in habitats with low thermal quality ( blouin - demers & nadeau , 2005 ) . for example , in the common lizard z . vivipara , a boreal species , active thermoregulation is the only available option to achieve t set ( gvozd ık , 2002 ) . importantly , the actual ' costs ' of thermoregulation ( e . g . in terms of energy or of survival ) depend on multiple components including the spatial and temporal heterogeneity in thermal conditions . . . .
. . . thus , the energetic cost of thermoregulation in our low - quality treatment was insufficient to outweigh the perceived benefits of thermoregulation . these results agree with those of several previous studies , in which animals exerted more effort to thermoregulate in more challenging environments ( gvo zd ık 2002 ; herczeg et al . 2003 ; blouin - demers & nadeau 2005 ) . by thermoregulating , an animal accepts a cost of predation risk ( see table 1 ; herczeg et al . 2008 ) . . . .
. . . environmental temperature varies with latitude ( e . g . sunday et al . , 2014 ) , altitude ( e . g . gvozdík , 2002 ; zamora - camacho et al . , 2013 ) , weather ( e . g . hammerson , 1989 ) , seasons ( e . g . . . .
. . . bauwens 2002 ; webb & whiting 2005 ; kerr & bull 2006 ) . ensuite , la thermorégulation peut induire des coûts dans la gestion du budget énergétique ou du budget temps puisque par exemple , le temps passé à thermoréguler rentre en compétition directe avec le temps disponible pour d ' autres activités ( alimentation , recherche de partenaires sexuels , etc ) ( adolph & porter 1993 ; gregory et al . 1999 ; gvozdik 2002 ) . enfin la thermorégulation implique des coûts d ' ordre physiologiques , notamment parce qu ' elle peut compromettre le maintien de la balance hydrique köhler et al . 2011 ; guillon et al . 2014 ) . . . .
. . . thermoregulation is a highly complex problem because different physiological processes and behaviors achieve performance optima at different temperatures ( huey and slatkin 1976 ; huey and stevenson 1979 ; angilletta et al . 2009 ) . lizards generally thermoregulate by choosing when to be active throughout the day and season ( stevenson 1985 ; adolph and porter 1993 ) , and shuttling between microhabitats of differing temperatures ( waldschmidt 1980 ; stevenson 1985 ; adolph 1990 ; gvozdik 2002 ) . many ectotherms follow a daily cycle of thermal microhabitat preference ( hutchinson and maness 1979 ; stevenson 1985 ) . . . .
. . . maternal buffering of unsuitable conditions ) they can provide time for a population to become established for standing genetic variation in combination with geographical differences in maternal basking behaviour and offspring growth rate in a climatically widespread viviparous reptile and / or recombination to provide a range of heritable phenotypes to respond to local selection pressures ( pigliucci , 2001 ; west - eberhard , 2003 ; ghalambor et al . , 2007 ; hoffmann and sgrò , 2011 ; hof et al . , 2011 ) . as a consequence , local adaptations in maternal effects should be common in widespread species ( e . g . gvozdik , 2002 ; doody et al . , 2006 ; doody , 2009 ) . in viviparous reptiles it remains unclear , however , whether populations that have evolved in different climatic conditions will exhibit locally adapted maternal basking behaviour or locally adapted gestational thermal effects on offspring development . . . .
