Energy flow of desert lizards (Uta stansburiana) in southern Nevada was estimated over a three-year period between March 1, 1965, and February 29, 1968. Analysis was restricted to assimilated energy and did not include energy ingested but not utilized. Energy of respiration (R) and elimination (E), as well as changes in standing stock (..delta..B), were estimated for monthly intervals over a three-year span. (auth)
