Territoriality: Costs and conditions

Yarrows Spiny Lizard: Elevated Testosterone in non territorial seasons decreased:
•Feeding time/effectiveness•Lifespan due to starvation
•Controls suffered too•Feeding treated animals corrected for effects

Territoriality benefit: More food =
•Healthier males •Able to leave wintering grounds sooner•Establish ownership of resources at mating grounds sooner
