The infection status of 72 % of lizards were correctly classified by our model.
The sacculus is poorly developed, whereas in lizards it is much enlarged.
This therefore suggests that the helminth faunas of the three lizards may be more similar than is apparent from the present data.
It also produces a matrix with consumers (lizard species) as rows and proportional utilizations (pi) of prey by volume for each prey type as columns.
Five size classes for lizard hosts were established according to the statistic, and the overall helminth prevalence increased with host size (table 2).
A group consisted of two cages and thus six lizards.
For this experiment, 21 lizards in eight cages (containing one male and one or two females) were used, including some newly acquired individuals.
The self planted birch forests are important for slowworms and dry grasses for fence lizards.
