Body temperatures of some amphibians from Nayarit, Mexico
Thermal ecology studies of ectothermic organisms provide important information for studying ecological physiology, evolution, behavior, and more recently, to assess how climate change may affect them. Ectotherms have received wide attention, but field studies on amphibians are lacking. Consequently,...

| description | Thermal ecology studies of ectothermic organisms provide important information for studying ecological physiology, evolution, behavior, and more recently, to assess how climate change may affect them. Ectotherms have
received wide attention, but field studies on amphibians are lacking. Consequently, we present data on thermoregulation of 11 species of amphibians from Nayarit, western Mexico. The results are discussed with thermally similar strategies. Our results fill some existing knowledge gaps of amphibian thermal ecology and provide the framework for future research on the eco-physiology of ectotherms.
