title: Sceloporus thermal requirements

description: Thermal requirement data of lizard populations of the
 genus Sceloporus was obtained from the literature. We collected
 data on preferred body temperature (Tpref), body temperature in the field
 (Tb), critical minimum temperature (CTmin), and critical maximum
 temperature (CTmax) of Sceloporus lizards. Additionally, we reported air
 and substrate temperature at the location of capture, if reported in the
 papers, and the relation of body temperature with these environmental
 temperatures. Whenever possible, we reported coordinates and elevation of
 the study sites, with available data on environmental temperatures (i.e.,
 bioclim data, data from nearby meteorological stations, and the
 Köppen-Geiger climate classification). When reported, thermal efficiency
 indexes are given (i.e. thermoregulation accuracy, thermoquality of the
 habitat, and thermoregulation efficiency). 
description: Thermal requirement data of
 lizard populations of the genus <em>Sceloporus</em>. Thermal
 requirement data was obtained from published work, undergraduate or
 graduate thesis, and unpublished data of the authors. Full references are
 given within the file. Geographic coordinates, when not given in the
 original research paper, were geo-referenced with Google
 Maps. Data on body size (maximum snout vent length)
 were obtained from Roll et al. 2017 and Meiri 2018.
 Data on environmental
 temperatures were obtained with the packages Bioclim
 (Hijmans and Van Etten
 2012, Fick and Hijmans 2017) and GSODR (Sparks et al. 2017) in
 R.  The
 Köppen-Geiger classification at the site of the populations was obtained
 with the kgc package (Bryant et al. 2017) in R (R Core Team
 2021).

description: TITLE: Sceloporus thermal requirements GENERAL INFORMATION: Data from:
 Flexibility in thermal requirements: a comparative analyses of the
 wide-spread lizard genus Sceloporus This data set presents data on thermal
 ecology of populations of the lizard genus Sceloporus with data on
 geographic location and climate data of the study site. Methods: Data was
 obtained from published work, undergraduate or graduate thesis, and
 unpublished data of the authors. We performed an extensive literature
 search in Google Scholar with the search words: Sceloporus and body
 temperature, thermal limits, or thermal indices (in English and the
 Spanish translation). Full references are given within the file. Data:
 Thermal ecology data of Sceloporus populations: preferred body
 temperature, body temperature in the field and critical thermal limits.
 Body size: Given as snout vent length, when mentioned within the
 reference. Also, data on maximum snout vent length are included, these
 were obtained from Roll et al. 2017 and Meiri 2018. Geographic
 coordinates: Latitude, longitude and elevation of the study sites are
 reported. When coordinates were not stated in the original research paper,
 these were geo-referenced using Google Maps. Elevation was omitted in
 these cases, because high variation in on small scale may result in large
 errors. Data on environmental temperatures: Temperature data was obtained
 with the packages Bioclim (Hijmans and Van Etten 2012, Fick and Hijmans
 2017) and GSODR (Sparks et al. 2017) in R. The Köppen-Geiger
 classification at the site of the populations was obtained with the kgc
 package (Bryant et al. 2017) in R (R Core Team 2021). DATA & FILE
