Bite forces in bisexual and parthenogenetic rock lizards [22]

Bite forces have been associated with head size and shape in most lizards. However, they also depend on underlying functional factors such as territoriality, mating, or defensive behaviors.In the project funded by the Margarethe Koenig award, rock lizards of the genus Darevskia will be studied concerning these underlying factors.
