Home Ranges and Body Size of Lizards
Abstract
The relationship between home range, A (m 2) and body weight, W (g) among adults of 13 species of terrestrial lizards was estimated as: A = 171.4W 0.95. The slope of the logarithmic regression is steeper than that relating standard metabolic rate, M (cm 3 O 2/hr) at 30°C and body weight: M = 0.82W 0.62. These functions are compared with similar regressions relating the home ranges and basal metabolic rates of birds and mammals to body size. Two major difficulties in the interpretation of such data are discussed.

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.
