Sexual selection often shapes social behavioural activities, such as movement in the environment to find possible partners, performance of displays signal dominance and courtship behaviours. Such activities may be negatively influenced by increasing temperatures, especially ectotherms, because individuals either have withstand unfavourable condition or are forced allocate more time thermoregulation shelter seeking behaviour. Thus, they “miss” opportunities for reproductive interactions. Moreover, ectotherms closely depend on temperature; consequently, mate choice behaviours disrupted, ultimately modifying sexual patterns. Therefore, it would interesting elucidate how temperatures associated with global warming influence activity interactions species’ natural habitat and, specifically high modify intersexual Consequently, our aim was explore differences daily pattern an ectotherm model, Tropidurus spinulosus , two thermally different habitats determine choice.

Abstract Climate change is increasing the temperatures of wild environments, but impacts on evolutionary ecological processes, such as sexual selection, are still under-studied. In ectotermic tetrapods, male coloration a pivotal trait in social contexts. During reproductive season, males can enhance dichromatic certain body regions. However, it unknown how dichromatism might interact with that cause to fall within upper range preferred temperatures. We hypothesize could be dynamic, i.e. show changes, being reinforced during period species. high associated climate disrupt colour patterns by inducing plastic changes. test this lizard species Tropidurus spinulosus laboratory setting applying three thermal treatments: one reproducing current conditions and two simulating scenarios change. Our results highlight enhanced season key regions for displays. At temperature species, darken their ventral coloration; however, no was observed at Therefore, impact capacity adjust plastically season.
