Fig. 4. Number of shuttles at different oxygen concentrations. Plotted values are
mean values of 12 lizards ±s.d. during a 7.5 h period inside an
electronically controlled temperature-choice shuttle box.
*Significant difference vs 21% oxygen conditions. For
comparison, the filled circles show the average number of times a lizard
shuttled during the 7.5 h in the absence of a thermal stimulus (constant
34.5°C at 21% O2) (Cadena
and Tattersall, 2009). The open square denotes the average number
of shuttles (error bars not shown; see text for details) in the extreme
temperatures shuttle box trials at 21% and 4% O2 (offset slightly
for clarity).
