Behavior is one of the most easily observable aspects of an organism's phenotype (Font, 2002;Martin & Bateson, 2007). Among vertebrates, fish, birds, and mammals are the most studied groups with respect to behavior (Font, 2002;Font et al., 2010); in contrast, squamates (especially lizards) are comparatively poorly studied (Font, 2002;Font et al., 2010). For example, female choice has been studied in many vertebrate groups; however, in non-avian reptiles, this phenomenon has been less well documented (Hamilton & Sullivan, 2005;LeBas & Marshall, 2000;Olsson & Madsen, 1995;Tokarz, 1995). On the other hand, aggressive behavior in some groups of lizards has been relatively well studied, both in natural conditions and captivity; this includes representatives of the families Scincidae,
