Geckos are unusual lizards in that they are active at night. Describe the difficulties a gecko would face in trying to use behavior to regulate its temperature at night. Would you predict that geckos have an optimal temperature for sprinting that is the same, higher, or lower than that of a typical diurnal lizard? Huey et al. (1989a) found that the geckos they studied had optimal temperatures that are the same as those of typical diurnal lizards (a finding in conflict with the researchers’ own hypothesis). Can you think of an explanation?
