Mating system variation and morph fluctuations in a polymorphic lizard.

Molecular ecology - 1 Dec 2007

Olsson Mats, Healey Mo, Wapstra Erik, Schwartz Tonia, Lebas Natasha, Uller Tobias

Abstract excerpt

In polymorphic male painted dragon lizards (Ctenophorus pictus), red males win staged contests for females over yellow males, and yellow males have greater success in staged sperm competition trials than red males. This predicts different reproductive strategies in the wild with red males being more coercive or better mate guarders than yellow males. Yellow males would be expected to sire more offspring per...
