(The regression line, significance value and sam- ple size are as indicated). can be easily differentiated between the tracks of other animals of the habitat. The mean field body temperature for the active animals captured was °C (range - °C; n=13). Regression analysis showed a significant dif- ference between the T\, - Ta and T^, - Ts (P<; Fig. 3). The mean selected temperatures in the gradient during the day and night were °C (SD ± ) and °C (SD ± ) respectively; the temperatures selected during day ranged between 15 and 38°C and between 14 and 38°C during the night (). About ninety percent of D. zarudnyi selected temperatures between 23 and 36°C during the day and between 21 and 36 C during the night. Temperature selected did not differ significantly between day and night (F=, P=). However, individuals differed sig- nificantly in temperatures selected (F=l , P=). Also, there was a highly significant interac- tion between individuals and the time of day (F=, P=). The average hourly temperature pattern of D. zarudnyi showed a gradual increase of body tem- perature (in the gradient) and reached its highest level just before the end of the dark period (), and a s I 0 M %- C. 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 Temperature "C Figure 4.
