Constriction on activity and amplified heat stress are two key sources of warming-driven vulnerability in tropical montane ectotherms. These threats, however, might be counterbalanced if rising temperatures also release organisms from limits on activity induced by cold stress. We used biophysical modelling to estimate activity patterns and thermal stress under warming in a group of summit-dwelling Anolis lizards (A. armouri and A. shrevei) endemic to the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. |
