High mountains are more than cold peaks: Diverse thermal availability for an endemic lizard
• Microhabitats shape thermal ecology of high-altitude lizard. • Sex and reproductive condition affect thermal preferences. • Basking sites maximize thermoregulatory efficiency in P. achalensis. • Bite force remains effective across wide temperature range.
