Thermal–metabolic phenotypes of the lizard Podarcis muralis differ across elevation, but converge in high-elevation hypoxia
In response to a warming climate, many montane species are shifting upslope to track the
emergence of preferred temperatures. Characterizing patterns of variation in metabolic …
