Lizards’ Starvation Tolerance: Adaptations, Survival, And Conservation Implications
Lizards possess remarkable starvation tolerance, which varies based on species, physiological factors (fat storage, tail fat deposition), adaptations (metabolic downregulation, energy-saving behaviors), and dietary habits. Specific research studies have uncovered lizards’ ability to survive extended food deprivation periods. Survival rates and lifespans depend on these adaptations. The evolutionary advantage of starvation tolerance enhances lizard survival …
