Abstract
1. 1. Rates of evaporative water loss were obtained for two ecologically distinct populations of the coastal side-blotched lizard, Uta stansburiana hesperis, under controlled laboratory conditions. 2. 2. Regression equations for the two populations describing evaporative water loss were derived to test: (a) response patterns of evaporative water loss to air temperature, relative humidity, and convection, three variables that contribute to evaporative water loss and (b) habitat correlation of evaporative water loss. 3. 3. The rate of water loss in the two lizard populations did not differ significantly. 4. 4. A correlation could not be demonstrated between the initial body weights of the lizards and their evaporative water loss.
