Abstract
Lipids in various tissues of Lacerta vivipara were measured at three times of the year: immediately after hibernation, mid‐season, and immediately prior to hibernation. Lipid deposits in the abdominal fat bodies and the caudal fat bands fluctuated seasonally, but at any time showed a marked positive allometry with body length and weight; the functional significance of this relationship is not known. Carcass lipid and liver weight were isometric with body length and weight.
