Abstract

The annual reproductive cycle of an introduced population of wall lizards was determined. Male lizards have a postnuptial pattern of testicular growth, with recrudescence beginning in August following a 1-2 month period of inactivity. Females exhibit ovarian growth following spring emergence and cycle until mid-July. Up to three clutches of 4-5 eggs each are oviposited annually. The timing of reproductive events is similar to that seen in lowland populations of wall lizards in Europe.
