Abstract

A portable optical-fiber spectrum analyzer operating in the visible and near-infrared range was used to measure <i>in vivo</i> the skin reflectance of lizards of the genus <i>Podarcis.</i> The investigations, which we performed in connection with a study of the biological problem of the microinsular melanism, are quite safe for the examined animals and can be easily extended to spectroscopic and/or energy input studies in other animals.
