Abstract
Following a 48-h deprivation period, time samplings of behavior of six pairs of lizards were taken from 9:30 a.m. to 5:40 p.m. each day for 5 days. Each pair of Ss was observed in an area 32 × 32 × 16 in. In all pairs, one animal dominated and supplanted the other throughout the observation area. Food offered during the first day of observation was taken in equal amounts by the dominant and nondominant lizards; food offered on the fifth day was taken almost exclusively by the dominant animals (90.4%). This increase is statistically significant (p <.031) and suggests that a territory can function to ensure the holder of that territory all or most of a limited food supply.
