Abstract

We characterized the home range (HR) of a population of Liolaemus lemniscatus in a sector of the Cordón de Cantillana Priority Site. The estimated HR average size for six individuals was 55.919 m2. Our results show that males have a larger HR size compared to females and they are significantly associated with the patchy distribution of shrub vegetation present in the study area.
