|
In 2007 the sun-basking activity of Emys orbicularis (n=31) was investigated by automatic photo recording in out-door terrarium in Latvia. Number of sun-basking Emys orbicularis (Nsb) had a daily dynamics with peak at 11:00 - 12:00 and less significant peak at 16:00 - 18:00. In May the maximal Nsb is registered, in June the Nsb decreases. This tendency continues in July and August. The time of sun-basking activity at the level Nsbe”10 (33% of n=31) in May 2007 was 9 h; in June 12 h; in July 11 h; in August 5 h. The meteorological factors were ranked by quantity of significant positive or negative correlations with Nsb for the interval of 8d”Nsbd”21. The most significant intensity of positive correlation with Nsb is noted for: 1) maximal value of UV radiation; 2) maximal value of Solar radiation; 3) middle value of Solar radiation; 4) middle and maximal air temperature; 5) minimal air temperature. The most significant intensity of negative correlation with Nsb is noted for the value of: 1) air humidity; 2) rain.
