摘要: Many lizards produce chemical secretions that may be used as pheromones in reproductive behavior, but only a few studies have identified compounds secretions. By using GC–MS, we found 20 lipophilic femoral glands secretion of male lizards, Psammodromus hispanicus. Main were six steroids (mainly cholesterol and campesterol) seven n-C9 to n-C18 carboxylic acids (especially dodecanoic acid), minor components alcohols between C16 C29 squalene. We compared these chemicals with those previously the closely related sister species algirus other lizard species.
