Muth (unpublished data cited in Porter and Tracy [1983]) came to a similar conclusion when Dipsosaurus dorsalis, a sympatric, herbivorous lizard also in Iguanidae, raised in the laboratory, reached size of sexual maturity and produced viable offspring in 7 mo, vs.

Estimation of the metabolic rate of the desert iguana (Dipsosaurus dorsalis) by a radionuclide technique.

Muth (1980) found similar results in incubation of Dipsosaurus dorsalis eggs.

Ctenosaura hemilopha, Dipsosaurus dorsalis, Sceloporus hunsakerii, Sceloporus sp., and Uta stansburiana).

Home range size and overlap and their relationship to food abundance in the Desert Iguana, Dipsosaurus dorsalis.

In the desert iguana, Dipsosaurus dorsalis, for example, the height of the hip at the time of footfall increases significantly with increased speed (Fieler and Jayne, 1998).

1986) and particularly the desert iguana Dipsosaurus dorsalis (40 [degrees]-42 [degrees] C, DeWitt 1967) have higher body temperatures.

Phylogeographic histories of representative herpetofauna of the desert southwest: Mitochondrial DNA variation in the chuckwalla (Sauromelas obesus) and desert iguana (Dipsosaurus dorsalis).

Milestead (1970) reported greater home range overlap in areas of high population density than in areas of low density in Sceloporus merriami, and Krekorian (1976) has shown a presumably temporary switch to hierarchical behavior in the otherwise territorial Dipsosaurus dorsalis following catastrophic declines in food availability.

Similarly, some species typical of the Sonoran Desert (e.g., Crotalus cerastes and Dipsosaurus dorsalis) that occur just west in the neighboring Tucson Mountains do not occur to the east in the Rincon Mountains.
