Mate guarding, intrasexual competition and mating success in males of the non- territorial lizard Lacerta schreiberi

Schreiber’s green lizard Lacerta schreiberi showed a high degree of overlap in individual home ranges which the males did not actively defend. The number of mates and estimated mating success of males were not related to the size of male home ranges. The population sex ratio was skewed towards males...
