Population biology of endangered grassland lizards (Agamidae)

Growth of lizards from 1998-2002 using recapture methods devised for these lizards. Lizards were weighed and measured repeatedly to determine normal field growth rates. Reproductive colours were also catergorised to determine when these lizards were in reproductive condition. Abundance of different age classes in the two locations where these species were captured was also determine using relative size differences.
