Abstract

In contrast to the polygynous mating systems typically displayed by most reptilian taxa, long-term genetic monogamy appears to be widespread within a lineage of group-living Australian scincid lizards, the Egernia group. We have recently shown that White s skink, Egernia whitii, lives in small but temporally stable social aggregations.
