“In conclusion, our results show that chameleons are adapted to their current habitat with shifts in the preferred and critical thermal maximum temperatures. Moreover, thermal performance curves tend to be right-shifted in the xeric environment-adapted species. These results may have important implications for the future persistence of these species under predicted climate change scenarios and may provide input data for refined species distribution models under different climate change scenarios”…
