Inverse Relationship Between Temperature and Shyness in the Lizard Anolis Lineatopus
Abstract
An increase in flight distance with a decrease in body temperature in 32 male Anolis lineatopus at Mona, Jamaica, supports more casual field observations that these lizards are shier when they are cold than when they are warm. It is suggested that this increased shyness compensates for the slowing effects of lower temperatures on biological processes and so helps protect these arboreal lizards from warm—blooded predators.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
