We tested our model with published life-history of life-history fieldstudies of the lizard Sceloporus undulatus,using climate and geographicaldata to reconstructestimatedannual activityseasons. Amongpopulations,annual activitytimeswere negatively correlated with annual survival rate and positively correlated with annual fecundity. variaProximateeffectsof temperaturemay confoundcomparativeanalyses oflizardlife-history tion and should be included in futureevolutionarymodels. characteristics varywidelyamonglizardspeciesand populations Life-history (Tinkle1967,1969;Fitch1970;Ballinger1983;Stearns1984;Dunhamand Miles mostauthorssoughtadaptiveexplanations 1985;Dunhamet al. 1988).Initially, on thebasis ofpredictions fromlife-history theory forlizardlife-history patterns (Tinkle1969;Tinkleet al. 1970;TinkleandBallinger1972;Stearns1977;Ballinger 1979;Tinkleand Dunham1986;Dunhamet al. 1988).A second,morerecent underlievariationin life approachexamineshow body size and/orphylogeny histories(Ballinger1983;Stearns1984;Dunhamand Miles 1985;Dunhamet al. assumethat 1988;Miles and Dunham1992).These approachesoftenimplicitly variation based.

First,Tbduringinactivity bysubstrate andair whichrestricts temperatures, thermoregulatory options(butsee Cowlesand Bogert1944;Porteret al. 1973;Huey 1982;Huey et al. 1989).Second,and more theamountoftimeperdaythata lizardcan be activeat itspreferred important, environment and Gates 1967;Porteret Tbis constrained by thethermal (Bartlett et al. 1983;Porterand Tracy al. 1973;Huey et al. 1977;Avery1979;Christian 1983;Grantand Dunham1988,1990;Sinervoand Adolph1989;Van Dammeet timeof activityis one of theprimary al. 1989).Indeed,modifying mechanisms by whichlizardsthermoregulate (Huey et al. 1977;Grantand Dunham1988). environments Thus, althoughlizardsin two different mightmaintainthe same meanTbduringactivity,thecumulativeamountof timespentat highTbcould Annualactivitytimeis thenroughly differ substantially. equivalentto thetotal amountoftimespentat highTbandcan be considereda measureofphysiological timeforlizards. Lizards are foundin a wide varietyof thermalenvironments, hot including tropicallowlands,temperate deserts,and cool, highlyseasonalhabitatsat high in thermal elevationor highlatitude(Pearsonand Bradford1976).Thisvariation inactivity variation andconcomitant season(Huey 1982),is likely environments, inlifehistories tocause someoftheobservedvariation amongspeciesandamong widespreadpopulationsof singlespecies (Grantand Dunham1990).Here, we can directlyinfluence describesome of the ways thattemperature life-history characteristics. Many of theseeffectsare mediatedthrough activitytimesand energybudgets. ActivityTime and Energetics Energyallocatedto reproduction ultimately dependson thedailyenergybudget,whichin turndependson activitytimein severalways.Energyacquisition and by therate bothby therateat whichresourcesare harvested is determined at whichtheyare processed(Congdon1989).Daily preycapturerate should thatlizardsare foraging increasewithdailyactivitytime,undertheassumption whileactive(Avery1971,1978,1984;Averyet al. 1982;Karasovand Anderson et al. 1986).In addition,highTbmayincreasepreycapture 1984;Waldschmidt ratesand handling efficiency (Averyet al. 1982;Van Dammeet al. 1991).Daily shouldincreasewithactivity energyassimilation time,becauseratesofdigestion are temperature at ornearactivity andassimilation andaremaximized dependent and Louw Tb's(Avery1973,1984;Skoczylas1978;Harwood1979;Buffenstein 1982;Huey1982;Waldschmidt etal. 1986,1987;Dunhametal. 1989;Zimmerman andTracy1989;Van Dammeet al. 1991).On thedebitsideoftheenergybudget, shouldalso increasewithactivitytime,bothbecause dailyenergyexpenditure resting metabolicratesare higherat activityTb's(BennettandDawson 1976)and because activelizardsoftenincuradditionalmetaboliccosts in pursuingprey, and the like (Bennett1982;Karasov and Anderson1984; defending territories, This content downloaded from 128.114.163.7 on Thu, 5 Sep 2013 17:33:27 PM All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions 276 THE AMERICANNATURALIST Marlerand Moore 1989).The difference betweenenergyassimilated and energy expendedrepresents discretionary energythatcan be allocatedto reproduction, growth, or storage(Porter1989).Thus,energyallocatedto reproduction depends on activity timevia dailyandannualenergybudgets(Congdonetal. 1982;Anderson and Karasov 1988;Dunhamet al. 1989;Porter1989;Grantand Porter1992). Potential timeis likelyto be correlated activity withthesize oftheannualenergy budgetand consequently withthe amountof energythatcan be allocatedto reproduction. Growth,ActivityTime, and Age at Maturity distorts therelationship betweenphysiological In ectotherms, and temperature time(Taylor1981;Sinervoand Doyle 1990).For example,lizards chronological seasonsspendmoretimeathighTbandtherefore withlongeractivity areexpected at a youngerage (Pianka1970; to growfasterand reachreproductive maturity are supported Jamesand Shine1988).Thesepredictions byfieldstudiesshowing ratesoflizardsincreasewithannualactivity time(Davis 1967; thatannualgrowth Tinkle1972;Ballinger1983;GrantandDunham1990)andbydirectobservations underlongergrowingseasons (Tinkleand Ballinger1972; of earliermaturation Goldberg1974;Grantand Dunham1990).In addition,severallaboratory studies ofactivity timeon growth effects havedemonstrated rates.GrowthratesofjuvenileLacerta vivipara,Sceloporus occidentalis,and Sceloporus graciosus increase withdailyactivitytime(i.e., access to highTb via radiantheat; Avery1984; Sinervoand Adolph1989;Sinervo1990;B.

Correspondingly, populationsin warmenvironments ofteninitiate at an earlierdate(Fitch oraltitudes) (e.g.,lowlatitudes reproduction can often 1970;Goldberg1974;Duvall et al. 1982;Licht1984)and consequently reproducemorethanonce per year,whereascool environments usuallylimit to one clutchor broodper year(McCoy and Hoddenbach1966; reproduction Tinkle1969;Goldberg1974;Parkerand Pianka 1975;Gregory1982;Ballinger 1983;Joneset al. 1987;Jamesand Shine1988).

Wilson,personalcommunication)foundthatdailymortality ratesin Uta stansburianaare highestin spring, intermediate in summer, and lowestduringthewinter;dailyactivity timesfollow thesamerankorder.Marlerand Moore(1988,1989)experimentally manipulated testosteronelevels in male Sceloporus jarrovi and found that individualswith testosterone implants hadlongerdailyactivity periodsandsuffered higher mortalityrelativeto controls. Acute Effectsof Temperatureon SurvivalRates All lizards have upper and lower criticalthermallimitsbeyond which the animals perish (Cowles and Bogert 1944; Dawson 1967; Spellerberg 1973). How oftentheselimitsare approachedin natureis unknown.Deaths due to winter coldhavebeenreported (Tinkle1967;Vitt1974;reviewinGregory1982);deaths are probablyless common(Dawson 1967).Acuteeffectsof due to overheating temperature may also influencesurvivalrates indirectly, throughthe thermal andTracy1981;Huey 1982; dependenceoflocomotion(Bennett1980;Christian vanBerkum1986,1988).In somecases lizardsareactiveat Tb'sthatsignificantly impairsprintspeed, which could lead to greaterriskof predation(Christianand Tracy 1981;Huey 1982; Crowley1985;van Berkum1986;Van Dammeet al. thatlead to lowersprintspeeds 1989,1990).However,the cool environments theoveralleffect mayalso reduceactivity times,whichwouldtendto ameliorate on annualsurvivalrates.Temperature mayalso affectresistanceto disease. For example, the abilityof desertiguanas (Dipsosaurus dorsalis) to survivebacterial infectionimproveswithincreasingTb(Kluger 1979). Energetics of Hibernation Lizards can be inactive more than halfthe year, particularlyat highlatitudes or highaltitudes(Gregory1982; Tsuji 1988a). Duringthistimetheyrelyon stored energy, particularly lipids(Derickson1976;Gregory1982).Because temperature conditions affectmetabolicrates(Bennettand Dawson 1976; duringhibernation Tsuji 1988a,1988b),energystoresmustbe adequateforboththedurationand theTb'sexperienced duringhibernation.

Here,we presenta generalmodeloftheeffect oftemperature on annualfecundity and annualsurvivalrates.Othertraits,suchas age and size at maturity, could be modeledsimilarly. A GENERAL MODEL Annual and Daily ActivityTime For mostdiurnaltemperate-zone lizards,potentialdailyactivitytimevaries timesare typically shortin thespringandfallandlong seasonally.Daily activity insummer, becauseofseasonalchangesintemperature (Porteret al. 1973;Porter theannualactivity andTracy1983}.Here, we approximate patternas an ellipse (fig.2a), wherethe lengthof the activityseason is 2y d and the lengthof the maximumactivityday is 2d h.
