Description
Abstract. -- The Cnemidophorus laredoensis complex consists of two separate parthenogenetic species, known as LAR-A and LAR-B, that coexist in southern Texas. Observations of free-roaming lizards in Bentsen-Rio Grande State Park demonstrate that both LAR-A and LAR-B behave aggressively toward conspecifics as well as toward each other. Seven different aggressive behaviors were observed. These were Supplant, Trail, Straddle, Chase, Face-Off, Arched Back Display and Straddle-Bite. The data suggest that LAR-B is behaviorally dominant to LAR-A and that both species may defend their burrows from intruders. **********
