Display behavior of an Hispaniolan anole: Anolis bahorucoensis
… to possess three species-specific stereotypic displays in their repertoire, referred to as types A, B, and C, and one nonstereotypic headbob movement, the step-bob. Female A. bahorucoensis were found to use one stereotypic display pattern, analogous to the males' type A display. Anolis …

The ontogeny of display behavior in Sceloporous undulatus hyacinthinus (Sauria: iguanidae)
Displays of 36 Sceloporus undulatus hyacinthinus from 8 clutches were recorded on video tape from the day of hatching to adult size during 1978, 1979, and 1980. Nine hundred forty-one displays were analyzed frame by frame, and durations of display units were calculated to the nearest 0.01 s. From …

Chemical and Behavioral Ecology of the Coastal Giant Salamander (Dicamptodon tenebrosus)
… observed the first accounts of agonistic and display behavior of terrestrial <em>D. tenebrosus</em>. These results suggest that terrestrial <em>D. tenebrosus </em>utilize chemical cues in their selection of refuge sites, and that they also display aggressive, territorial behavior.

Behavioral comparison of anoline competitors: Anolis cooki and Anolis cristatellus (Reptilia: Sauria: Iguanidae)
The behavioral repertoire of the Puerto Rican anoles, Anolis cooki, A. cristatellus and A. monensis was studied in the laboratory. The display of A. cooki and A. monensis revealed great similarities; consisting of one head bob pattern highly stereotyped in its temporal sequencing and total …

Intersexual Communication, Male Mate Preference, and Reproductive Energetics of the Polygynous Lizard, Anolis Carolinensis
… how sexual selection should influence the behavior and mating systems of lizards. Similarly, intersexually selected mating systems (i.e., based on female choice) are inappropriate predictive models for examining species with intrasexually selected mating systems (i.e., based on consexual …
