摘要
为了弄清蜥蜴体色两性异形形成的原因及其生物学意义,在现有文献的基础上,对中国蜥蜴中具有两性异形体色的种类进行总结和分析。结果表明:在中国的156种蜥蜴中,有6科28种蜥蜴存在体色两性异形,占17.9%。这种体色的两性异形与环境变化和自身因素均有一定的关系,一般具有求偶炫耀、躲避攻击和隐蔽伪装的作用。因此,对蜥蜴体色两性异形的研究将为动物体色的着色机理及分化提供理论依据,并对视觉信号的形成及配偶选择的行为学、生理学基础提供参考。
In order to clarify the reasons for the formation of sexual dimorphism and the biological significance in Lizards body colour,the Lizard species with sexual dimorphism in body colour in China were summarized and analyzed on the basis of the existing literatures.The results showed that in the 156 species of Lizards in China,there were 6 families 28 species had sexual dimorphism in body colour,accounting for 17.9%.The body colour sexual dimorphism had a certain relationship with the environmental change and own factors that generally had a courtship display to escape the attack,the role of concealment and camouflage.So,the research on sexual dimorphism of Lizards colour could provided theoretical basis for coloring,and could also provided references for the visual signal formation,the basis of behavior and physiology in sexual selection.
