Headbob displays of Anolis lizards
headbobLizards.RdDisplays of 14 male Anolis lizards were recorded in Puerto Rican forest (Ord et al. 2016), along with key environmental characteristics. These lizards bob their head up and down (and do push-ups) in attempts to attract the attention of females, and advertise territory ownership to other males. How fast a lizard bobs its head was recorded, and it was of interest to understand which environmental features (out of temperature, light and noisiness) were related to head bobbing speed.
