摘要: Chemical cues play an important role in sexual recognition several lizard species. Here, we investigated whether the neotropical lizard, Liolaemus pacha (Iguania: Liolaemidae) can discriminate between chemical information obtained from males or females. In addition, also considered effect of season (reproductive vs. post-reproductive) and sex tested individual. We experimentally scent discrimination, using a terrarium previously occupied by male, female, untreated as control sources different scents. counted number tongue flicks, measure exploratory behavior, visual displays triggered these scents for 10 min. Males performed significantly more flicks when female was present than male were present, indicating recognition. However, females did not show significant difference those same conditions, lack For displays, showed higher rates to control, whereas any difference. During reproductive season, during post-reproductive season. Our results suggest that L. pacha, mate discuss apparent observed seasonal behavioral differences might be associated with physiological changes related mainly reproduction.
