Cold acclimation lowers the selected body temperature (Tb) in many ectothermic vertebrates. This change in behavioural thermoregulation is accompanied by an increase in the proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids in tissues and cellular membranes. We investigated how diets containing different fat
## Abstract A histochemical survey was done on the fiber composition of 12 different locomotory muscles in the lizard __Dipsosaurus dorsalis__. Three types of fibers were found in all muscles: (1) fastβtwitchβglycolytic (FG); (2) fastβtwitchβoxidativeβglycolytic (FOG); and (3) tonic fibers. Virtual
