Glad to see there are other people interested in this very intriguing question! I read the whole discussion and registered because I think I have two cents to share. I did a PhD in the lab where they studied published predator-elicited footshakes in Podarcis Muralis. That was a nice piece of natural history, but there is more to the story. In fact, one of the messages rightly posted that it is false to say that Muralis footshakes are only directed at predators. The fact is that lacertid lizards produce MANY different types of foot shake displays, differing in the specific movements and pace of limb waving. The paper published in 2012 examined only one of the types (ttpe iii), which is the one directed at predators. <br /><br />If interested, we recently published another paper focusing on lizard social behaviour (male-male competition) and this time we formally demonstrate that footshakes (type ii) are used by males to signal their unwillingness to escalate, appease rivals and avoid the costs of aggression. This was a BIG experiment, recording the behaviour of lizards introduced into in 10 experimental enclosures to simulate territory establishment at the start of the breeding season.<br />Please find here a link to the published paper, accessible online. <br /><br />You may also want to read the twitter thread i wrote, which includes a couple of videos and pictures of the experimental setup.<br /><br /><a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://track.smtpsendmail.com/9032119/c?p=A1Tm6v-zqSBKk2qfrjzEn884z10xhFfGJfE39cmIQWSM_RDaEGFrZFhchHXjQbAuUzsRkB8RbrFO2JHgPXv4OHWV-Sq0-ZaIocBsO5BSLyfcAK90SCUkAf79JwsSpffBLrN-DuXfqVi4-KEn2y-mBxy4ZsQQmgdjmsKDAsopDquXbKJ3ehW7gALUkBCyizmxHA7R-tgP3rg2lQ-DIlZkqFI2H1REZYuh6ydP0rA4ocfseZ4iH1TZJ9CzbxcekSpUP0DdGbtxeYLy3-FSRTuPxrqcR9hWuY38Euf1i1EhH5PjQ1e78tdmlGF4avXEiWZSV5KQ_RbySRMEgISG0Qc-gOFWZbQFsIdlaZpPL9BtpYlVMGpCp9KrsCJaiKwfoDuWhTaTakujj05ZzsEWUEDoPA==__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!TKuYNjles4BHzw-f-yWhmdDYN3SbZ3A-FDcyzGp4G0d_W8DDDnrcnvp9XmfgEj8xR3GYS33Kn3ibXs_S$" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link to article </a><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://x.com/abalosaurus/status/1808861652281913695?t=H9nQpzHQ5Lr-_t9zed_svg&s=19" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link to twitter thread</a><img src="uploads/22862/1724602138073.jpg" border="0" /><span style="font-size:10px"><br /><br />Edited by Abalosaurus - 25 Aug 2024 at 5:16pm</span>]]> </description> <pubDate>Sun, 25 Aug 2024 17:15:11 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/why-do-common-lizards-lift-their-feet_topic4730_post41177.html#41177</guid> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[ Adder : Tunnel of Love]]></title> <link>http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/tunnel-of-love_topic5365_post41171.html#41171</link> <description> <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=1440">sotonsteve</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> Tunnel of Love<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 12 May 2024 at 9:49am<br /><br /><div>An interestig article from the BBC</div><div><a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cedxqn730gvo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cedxqn730gvo</a></div><div>Steve</div><div><br></div>]]> </description> <pubDate>Sun, 12 May 2024 09:49:00 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/tunnel-of-love_topic5365_post41171.html#41171</guid> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[What is it? : what type of snake]]></title> <link>http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/what-type-of-snake_topic5362_post41167.html#41167</link> <description> <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=241">Iowarth</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> what type of snake<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 27 Sep 2023 at 10:31pm<br /><br /><div>Hi everyone</div><div><br></div><div>Any suggestions re the above?</div><div><br></div><div>Chris<br></div>]]> </description> <pubDate>Wed, 27 Sep 2023 22:31:17 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/what-type-of-snake_topic5362_post41167.html#41167</guid> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[What is it? : what type of snake]]></title> <link>http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/what-type-of-snake_topic5362_post41166.html#41166</link> <description> <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=22847">wzee</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> what type of snake<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 27 Sep 2023 at 2:40pm<br /><br />Hi Chris, any suggestions of who or where to send the image to for identification?<div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div>]]> </description> <pubDate>Wed, 27 Sep 2023 14:40:21 +0000</pubDate> <guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/what-type-of-snake_topic5362_post41166.html#41166</guid> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[What is it? : what type of snake]]></title> <link>http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/what-type-of-snake_topic5362_post41164.html#41164</link> <description> <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.herpetofauna.co.uk/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=241">Iowarth</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> what type of snake<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 14 Aug 2023 at 9:12pm<br /><br /><div>Thank you - that worked.</div><div><br></div><div>This is a tricky one (especially for me - I am primarily a lizard man.
