OverviewAI-generated summary
Ian T. Clifton investigates the physiological and behavioral adaptations of ectotherms, with a recent focus on lizards and snakes. His work examines how environmental factors, such as temperature variability and habitat urbanization, influence thermal tolerance, growth rates, and behavioral interactions. Clifton has explored the energetic costs associated with compensating for increased environmental temperatures in desert lizards and the potential evolutionary loss of male-specific coloration linked to androgen receptor expression. He also studies the plasticity of thermal tolerance in snakes and the impact of anthropogenic shifts in prey size on juvenile growth rates. Clifton has co-authored 18 publications, accumulating 164 citations and an h-index of 6. He collaborates with researchers from the University of Central Arkansas and Southern Arkansas University.
