TLDR
All three species were effective and accurate thermoregulators but one of them achieved smaller E values as a result of the lower Tb in the field, which could be attributed to the cooler thermal microhabitats that this species occupies.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal tolerance varies with age and sex for the nonnative Italian Wall Lizard (Podarcis siculus) in Southern California.
TL;DR: Examination of ontogenetic and sex-based differences in thermal tolerances, preferred temperature, and temperature-dependent evaporative water loss rates in Italian Wall Lizards, Podarcis siculus, collected from an introduced population near Los Angeles, California, USA that were acclimated to laboratory conditions adds to the growing literature demonstrating that thermal tolerance and breadths can vary between sexes and across age classes in squamate species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Main factors affecting lacertid lizard thermal ecology.
TL;DR: A strong seasonality effect was observed, with a consistent pattern of less effective thermoregulation in summer compared to other seasons, and thermoreGulation was less affected by climate and habitat type.

TL;DR: The observed differences in dopamine levels could represent a trait in these species and may contribute to the competitive exclusion of P. melisellensis by P. siculus in the eastern Adriatic.
