Table 1 Descriptive statistics, expressed as mean ± SE and range, for female SVL, male SVL, mating latency and copulation duration. All females were from the Lishui population, and males from five geographically distinct populations
From: Female northern grass lizards judge mates by body shape to reinforce local adaptation
