摘要
Body temperatures of individually housed Sceloporus occidentalis were monitored continuously while the animals moved freely over a thermal gradient during several daily light‐dark cycles and a subsequent period of constant darkness. These self‐selected body temperatures display a distinct daily pattern, a pattern which is maintained (with an altered cycle length) during constant darkness.
