The June sun rises like a ball of fire scorching the parched creosote flats of the Sonoran Desert. Soon cicadas commence their song of the dry, and Common Side blotched Lizards Uta stansburiana seek refuge in cool, moist underground retreats. By mid morning Tiger Whiptails Aspidoscelis tigris confine their jerky foraging to shade patches, and Zebra tailed Lizards Callisaurus draconoides raise their toes off the searing desert pavement. But the large, pale thirsty lizard Dipsosaurus dorsalis, Desert Iguana, Figure 1 is just issuing forth from its burrow to bask in the hot sun. When its body temperature reaches 4. C 1. 04F the herbivore climbs into a Creosotebush to browse on the few remaining yellow blossoms. Later it switches tactics, facing into the sun to minimize the surface area of its body that is exposed to the rays. The lizard remains active into the heat of the early afternoon, and its body temperature may reach 4. C 1. 16F, the highest recorded for a reptile. Figure 1.

The importance of temperature tolerance in the ecology and evolution of desert reptiles was articulated by Ray Cowles 1. In 1. 94. 4, the theme of behavioral thermal regulation was developed in grand style by Cowles and his former graduate student Chuck Bogert see Pough 1. Myers and Zweifel 1. Mole and Rubio 2. Chuck Lowe, who also was a student of Cowles. After Bogert 1. 94. Schultheis rapid reading cloacal thermometer, noose em and goose em became a herpetological cottage industry, and Lowe brought the zeal for thermal ecology to the Creosotebush League when he joined the faculty of the University of Arizona in 1. Rosen 2. 00. 4. But the stellar role of the Desert Iguana in reptile thermal biology remained little appreciated until Ken Norris, also a former student of Cowles and later faculty member at UCLA, had the fortitude to conduct and publish the first thorough study of the ecology of this thermophilic herbivorous lizard Norris 1. He traveled throughout the species range from the Mohave Desert to Sinaloa and the cape of Baja California Sur, but his work was centered in the Sonoran Desert of southern California where he firmly established an understanding of the basic features of the life of the Desert Iguana. Knowledge of its ecology has been filled out by a large number of subsequent workers in southern California, particularly Mayhew  1. Mc. Ginnis and Dickson 1. Pianka 1. 97. 1, Berke and Heath 1. Krekorian 1. 97. Muth 1. Mautz and Nagy 1. Howland 1. 98. 8. As is the case for most lizards, little published research exists for Arizona populations, and the effect of the monsoons and summer annuals on its ecology can be estimated only by a few observations in Baja California Sur Asplund 1. Grismer 2. 00. 2. Parker 1. 97. 2 presented information, primarily on hatchlings, gathered incidental to his study of the Western Banded Gecko Coleonyx variegatus in South Mountain Park, Maricopa Co., Arizona, and a useful species summary and bibliography were provided by Hulse 1. Norris 1. 95. 3 pointed out the wide spectrum of habitats occupied by the Desert Iguana, but emphasized that the species is closely associated with the Creosotebush Larrea tridentata in the Southwestern deserts where the flowers comprise a major part of the diet of this herbivorous reptile. The long tail facilitates climbing in the bushes to forage or to escape the extreme heat of the desert floor. The mottled pattern of the dorsal surface is well camouflaged in the dappled sunlight beneath the creosote Figure 2, where the lizards burrows are usually located. The burrows play an important role in the ecology of the Desert Iguana. Some may have been dug originally by Round tailed Ground Squirrels Xerospermophilus tereticaudus or Desert Kangaroo Rats Dipodomys deserti, but Norris found that most were quite shallow and appeared to have been excavated by the lizard, particularly in sandy soils. They usually contained a distinct chamber just a few inches below the surface, and the entrances were seen to have been plugged by sand. Smaller Desert Iguanas occupied smaller burrows, additional evidence that these lizards dig their own burrows. Some burrows are inhabited by more than one lizard Krekorian 1. Howland 1. 98. 8.

It started by scraping out a round hollow about 3. Then it began digging a burrow in the middle. Within about an hour, it had a burrow deep enough to easily allow the lizard to get under ground, and the hollow had been filled to ground level by soil excavated from the burrow. By this time, it was early afternoon and the lizard then went into the burrow and back filled the entrance, as they often do at the end of the daily activity period, leaving the burrow and excavation area barely visible. The burrow is defended with an assertion display given by both sexes, and a more vigorous challenge display performed mostly by males. Like those of most Southwestern iguanid lizards, the display involves pushups, lateral compression of the body, and extension of the gular and ventral surfaces, but it is species specific in format. In the most aggressive display, the challenger pins his opponent against his body and inflicts a violent, audible tail slap Carpenter 1. Unlike most other lizards, the home range of females 1,5. Krekorian 1. 97. 6. Male home ranges overlap extensively, whereas those of females do not. Alberts 1. 98. 9 has demonstrated that territories are marked by males with waxy secretions from the femoral pores that absorb UV light that is visible to Desert Iguanas. Gier found that males who establish territories around large shade plants have access to a greater number of females Pianka and Vitt 2.

The daily activity pattern of Desert Iguanas differs from that of most other Sonoran Desert lizards in that it is unimodal, centered in the mid to late morning. In April most activity occurs from 0.
