The evolution of thermal physiology in endotherms. (2002, background): “In fact, reptiles are more likely to take evasive action when their Tb’s are relatively high and rely on stationary defenses when their Tb’s are low (Hertz et al., 1982; Crowley and Pietruszka, 1983; Goode and Duvall, 1989; Passek and Gillingham, 1997; Shine et al., 2000).”

Movements, Mating, and Dispersal of Red-Sided Gartersnakes (Thamnophis sirtalis parietalis) from a Communal Den in Manitoba (2001, methodology): “The locations, numbers and body sizes of males in she-malefocused groups were very similar to those in female-focused groups (Shine et al., 2000a), so we have combined these data for the present analysis.”
