Dimorfisme Seksual, Reproduksi dan Mangsa Kadal Ekor Panjang Takydromus sexlineatus Daudin, 1802 (Lacertilia :Lacertidae)
ABSTRACT: Sexual Dimorphism,
Reproduction and Prey of Long Tailed Lizard Takydromus sexlineatus Daudin, 1802
(Lacertilia :Lacertidae). The morphology and reproductive biology of Takydromus
sexlineatus were studied in Bogor. Males are larger than females. There is
sexual dimorphism on head size and tail length (larger and longer tail on
males) of body size among sexually mature adults, apparently as a consequence
of sexual selection. The diet of T. sexlineatus consists of variety of insects
and their larvae, arachnids, decapods and snails. Most of the diet are insect (more
than 70 % for adults and juveniles). There are higher prey competitions at
adult skinks between males and females, adult females and juveniles, but not
between adult males and juveniles. The length of adult males and females are
44.6 - 58.1 mm and 49.6 - 62.3 mm respectively, lay eggs throughout the year
with 2 -3 clutches, per clutch consists of 1 - 3 eggs.
