Symmetry, male dominance and female mate preferences in the Iberian rock lizard, Lacerta monticola (2002, background): “In the field, the number of agonistic inscent mark, lowering the costs of aggressive interactions (Aragon et al. 2001a,b; Lopez and Martin 2002 ).”
Beyond 'nasty neighbours' and 'dear enemies'? Individual recognition by scent marks in a lizard (Podarcis hispanica) (2008, background): “…their territories against the repeated intrusions of rival males, whereby both the energetic costs of territory defence and the risks of suffering injuries can be minimized by reducing aggression towards familiar neighbours (e.g. Stamps & Krishnan 1998; Whiting 1999; López & Martı́n 2001, 2002).”
Status-signalling chemical badges in male Iberian rock lizards (2007, background): “During agonistic encounters, individual recognition based on chemical cues helps to reduce the intensity and costs of fighting (López & Martín 2002).”
