SPACIAL STRUCTURE OF THE PHRYNOCEPHALUS GUTTATUS GUTTATUSPOPULATION IN ASTRAKHAN SEMIDESERTS AFTER THE BREEDING SEASON

The article deals with the spatial structure of Phrynocephalusguttatusguttatus (Gmel., 1789) intra-population groups in semi-deserts of the Astrakhan region after the breeding season. High population density leads to significant overlap of home ranges. The sizes of individual ranges of different age and sex groups are determined. Males have the largest home ranges and immature lizards - the smallest, but these differences are unreliable. There are some nomadic individuals.Spatial relationships based on maintaining a certain individual distance.
