Opponent recognition in male green anoles, Anolis carolinensis
Article Abstract:
A hypothesis that reduced aggressive behaviour of defeated male Anolis carolinensis is influenced by recognition of a specific opponent is reported. Anolis carolinensis appear to learn information specific to their opponent during an initial agonistic interaction, with the salience of this information declining when the interval between interactions increases.

Assessment in contests of male lizards (Anolis carolinensis): How should smaller males respond when size matters?
Article Abstract:
The ability to assess body size during territorial contests should be an adaptive attribute that influences the tactics of intermale aggression. The results indicate that if smaller males of Anolis carolinensis have breeding territories, then they will engage in costly contests, despite a low probability of defeating larger and equally motivated opponents.
