| We hypothesised that thermoregulatory behaviours would be altered by preventing respiratory evaporation associated with gaping. We found that bearded dragons prevented from spontaneous gaping selected lower temperatures and were more likely to face toward warmer temperatures. |

Fig. 1
illustrates that human skin reflects between 30% and 70% of incident
short-wave radiation (IR-A radiation with 𝜆 = 0.78 μm to 1.4 μm,
and also visible light). In contrast, for long-wave radiation (IR-C type
with 𝜆 ≥ 3 μm) the skin’s reflectance is typically below 10% [11–
14]. Similar observations were made for typical cotton clothing, which
hardly absorbs and rather reflects short-wave radiation [15]. As for
instance sunlight largely consist of short-wave radiation, the practical
significance of these considerations becomes clear. |
