Territorial displays of male Anolis carolinensis: an analysis and critique
Anolis carolinensis was found to have three stereotyped and distinct territorial headbob patterns, referred to as Types A, B, and C. Each type had two variants, one in which the dewlap appeared mid-display and a second in which dewlap extension was absent. Use of these signals was examined in two …

Behavioral, temporal, and spatial relationships in free-ranging female Anolis carolinensis (Sauria: Polychridae)
The behavior and spatial relationships of 7 male and 22 females were described from 56 days of observation from focal and scan samples made between 0830 and 1830 h during May-July, 1993 at the Augusta Canal near Augusta, Georgia. Behavioral observations indicated that females primarily remain …

Intersexual Communication, Male Mate Preference, and Reproductive Energetics of the Polygynous Lizard, Anolis Carolinensis
… contests). I investigated three aspects of Anolis carolinensis behavior and mating system (communication signals, male mate preference, and reproductive energetics) to contribute to a theoretical model for sexual selection based on a lizard with an intrasexually selected, polygynous mating …

Social and Hormonal Effects on the Ontogeny of Sex Differences in Behavior in the Lizard, Anolis carolinensis
Adult green anoles, Anolis carolinensis, exhibit numerous sex differences resulting from divergent strategies for maximizing reproductive success. I focused on the ontogeny of sex differences in behavior in juveniles, in relation to adult sex differences, by documenting the behavior of free-ranging …

Extra-pair paternity within the female-defense polygyny of the lizard, Anolis carolinensis: Evidence of alternative mating strategies
… the polygynous female-defense mating system of Anolis carolinensis, males compete directly for females through territorial behavior. Inter-male competition is intense due to an average polygyny ratio of 1 male to 3 females despite a 1:1 adult sex ratio. Through high levels of territorial …
