	abstract = {Behavioral responses of Chihuahuan Desert lizards to modified habitat were studied on two plots.  One plot had been treated with an herbicide and was dominated by sub-shrubs (\textit{Xanthocephalum sarothrae}) and grasses (\textit{Muhlenbergia porteri}).  The other plot was dominated by shrubs (\textit{Larrea tridentata, Flourencia cernua,} and \textit{Prosopis glandulosa}).  There was no difference in lizard diversity between the plots.  However, an increase of grass cover correlated with a reduction in the number of \textit{Cnemidophorus tigris} and an increase in the number of \textit{Uta stansburiana}.  Other species of lizards apparently were not affected by the difference in habitats.  \textit{Uta stansburiana} was found to have no preference for specific vegetation on the plots when foraging, basking, or resting.  Foraging \textit{Cnemidophorus tigris} were found to utilize mesquite (\textit{Prosopis glandulosa}), and to a lesser extent creosotebush (\textit{Larrea tridentata}).  Bush muhly (\textit{Muhlenbergia porteri}) was utilized on the modified habitat when foraging.  The results of my study are discussed with implications for the pre-European man lizard fauna of the Jornada del Muerto region of New Mexico.},
